Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
Well, I have to admit, I was the one of many that lost some faith in PR after last weekend's game. Deservingly so, he will be the focus this Friday night. What is everyone's prediction on how he will fare?
What kind of perfomance will he have agaisnt the Bengals? [b][i]OR[/i][/b] what is one thing he has to do if does nothing else? i.e. - score a TD, connect on a long pass, look more calm in the pocket ... etc. I say he plays relatively better, leads us down to a score, and has 1 other positive drive (more than 3 first downs, 45-50 yards in length) in about a quarter's time. 10 for 17 no INT'S. |
Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
I'm expecting a positive increase in his stats, he'll look more comfortable as will the rest of the offense.

Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
Bottom line, he needs to get the team into the endzone. I don't expect Portis to play so it's on him and he needs to show something. My faith in Ramsey becoming an NFL playmaker is waning. He has shown that he can be a caretaker but to get to 10+ wins, your QB has to be a playmaker and I need to see the seeds of that starting tomorrow night.

Doesn't matter he's still the man. And this is just pre-season. Give him time to get back into the groove. Mcnab threw an interception on his first pass too, but nobody is shitting their pants.

That's because after that play he looked almost perfect. Plus he got the Eagles in the endzone. |
Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
I don't care about stats, just score points and be a leader and make good decisions. I want to see him manage the game and not turn the ball over. I would love to see him hit a big play, but to me that is more about making good decisions. The big play is not always there, so just be smart with the football. I would also be happy with no "happy feet" out of Ramsey. Act like you are the best player on the field and be confident.

Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
He's playing an OK defense this week, as opposed to a VERY GOOD defense last week, thats one reason I think his numbers will increase. I think the home stadium will give him some extra edge. Realistically, I cant point to reasons last week why he wasent great. He didnt seem to be really far off, just not perfect. I'm intersted to see our offense as a whole. I really hope we run the ball more too when Ramsey is in there, to set up the pass. I think we will run more because it wont be Portis back there, so we dont risk his injury. Gonna be nice to see what Betts can do.

I'm hoping he is just working out kinks and warming up, I would love to see a TD drive that involves alot of passing, also, at least one completion of over 25 yards - don't forget after McNabb's INT he went 14-18. |
Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
As a follow up to my post, and it probably belongs in some other thread, I don't live in the Washington area and I am disappointed that the NFL Network is not doing their No Huddle tomorrow night. I guess with only 3 games it is not worth it for them. So I will be watching the game via Gamecenter on NFL.com. A concession I guess is that the game will be replayed on Saturday night at 10pm Central on NFL Network and I don't have to wait until Wednesday next week for the replay.

Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
I agree, he needs to score. I do think he'll find his bearings and start making better plays, if not tomorrow, soon. We've all seen the guy make big plays in spurrier's offense, but he was getting killed the whole time he was doing it. Gibbs has had an entire offseason to mold a system to him, and that's what he's done. I think if Ramsey responds well at all, we'll see some great things from him, but I don't think we're exactly going to gameplan the preseason. Lombardyesque playcalling. Predictable, but concentrating on execution.
I will say this. We've had some great preseasons in the past. Hell we've had some great offseasons according to the masses too. This year, everyone is saying we had a bad offseason by downgrading WR's, losing our D captains, Drafting JC... and I'm glad to hear it. At least its a change of pace. I think more concentration is going into making a season work, than an offseason and a preseason great. BTW, no matter what ramsey does in the next game, if he doesn't score 2+td's, or if he throws 1 pick, he'll be getting picked apart next week too. |

I'm not trying to flood my own post, but this was DEAD ON Scowan .... especially that last sentence. Is it me, or does he seem to lack confidence at times, and command? |
Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
If I were Gibbs I would give PR a lot of looks out of the shotgun, he seemed to be a little more comfortable last week when he was in it, it may be a good way to help his confidence out, give him a little more time, and allow him to read the D a little faster. Hopefully it works, although I know Gibbs would rather do without the shotgun.

Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
Tomorrow night Ramsey will connect on just about every pass, the ones that he will not connect on will be because of the WR's not him. I am predicting him to go 12-15, 1td, and about 100 - 120 yards... And you can take it to the bank!!!!

Re: Preseason Game 2 Ramsey Predictions
Gotiz, all I am saying is it is Ramsey's 4th year in the league, he is older than a lot of guys he is playing against now and should be showing his maturity a little bit more. At this level everyone is good, but some guys are just more sure of themselves than others. I want him to act like a veteran. Those "happy feet" make me think he is the Rookie and Jason Campbell is the veteran. Be vocal, clap your hands, talk to your guys. They say Jon Jansen does this with the O-line, I want to see Patrick do this with the whole team.

I agree - Hopefully, with all the backing he has this year and with the experience he has gathered playing under gibbs he willl come through and [b][i]act the part[/i][/b], another thing you have to realize, you don't teach that, or learn that kind of personality from a book, sure you can achieve to improve your attitude, but Ramsey will never be Farve or even Brady when it comes to leadership (at least from what I've seen the last four years) ... I still think he will be good, and I think he will silence some critics tomorrow night, we get 1 TD out of him and another solid drive! |
