3.) Does John Simon have a realistic shot at making the team?
4.) Has Gari Scott emerged as the 6th receiver to join Coles, Gardner, Jacobs, McCants and Thrash?

1) You know, KT didn't do as badly as I thought he would. Peppers did get by him on one play for a sack, but if you actually watched the play it really looked more like the RG didn't bix him up coming inside (this is what the WP reported this morning as well). Otherwise, KT looked like a starter. He was not the problem in terms of the lack of holes for the RBs; that was a problem pretty much across the board.
2) Ramsey looked very bad at the beginning. Two fumbled snaps, one pick, and most of his throws were either two hard or unneccessarily overthrown. He looked nervous, tentative, and just plain bad at times. Still, I think there is a silver lining here; after Ramsey took a big shot from either a DE or LB coming off the right side, I think he really seemed to calm down. He made two very nice completions to Lavernues Coles (who came up limping after both, I'm really worried about him), and looked somewhat like what we saw at the beginning of last season, if only for awhile. My guess is that this guy is just flat-out gunshy after getting pulverized last year. If we don't see significant improvement in the next preseason game, though, I'd be more concerned.
3) He has to. He looked very good on a couple of returns (was Chad Morton injured?), though we didn't see much of him at RB. Rock Cartwright, except for one run, looked bad. He looked slow hitting the holes, and entirely too tentative for a second or third string defense. I think he will be the first RB to get cut, because let's face it, he's not a natural RB. He's an FB, and there is no true FB in Gibbs' offense.
4) I say our WRs will be, in this order: Coles, Gardner, McCants, Thrash, Jacobs (if this guy shows up! He played last night, and didn't do anything), and Scott. Didn't see much of Cloman last night, and Dillard looks small, slow, and very unsure of himself.
