One thing I did last year,that I'm not sure I want to do this year. That's give up on the starting QB after one game. I know Brunell didn't make the throws but some of the play calling wasn't the best against this defense. A short screen pass to Portis, Sellers or Betts could gain a lot of yards against the Giants. After the Giants stuffed our run on a couple of plays, we seemed to panic on offense and call pass plays into a lot of traffic. One after another. If think Betts needs to get more touches on the ball. What could have led to Portis's fumble is fatigue. I mean he was in the backfield almost 90% of the time. Come on, let's mix it up on play calling!

We scored on a fake handoff and a short pass. Did anyone see Brunell roll out to his right and throw a potential INT? If he's a lefty, why is he rolling out to his right?

Oh I caught that too, Sunra. I agree 100%. Now I'm not gonna start questioning Joe Gibbs whatsoever, but I thought that was very weird. I mean that rollout play has been awsome for us this season so far. Rarley has the Quarterback not had alot of time, but when Brunell rolled out to the right, he just looked very uncomfortable. Having to switch your whole body around takes a second or so and really wastes some time.

I'm very surprised that we were in it with 7 turnovers

It's not uncommon for QB's to roll to their opposite side. Should the QB only roll to one side all the time?? That would be a little predictable don't ya think?

Brunell didn't roll out to either side after that possession. I think we need a QB with better footwork. The (dash play) When Joe Theismann would roll straight back and dash to the left or dash to the right and throw the pass. Gibbs doesn't favor the shotgun, but he should with these QB's.

ramsey isn't done, he had a bad day, but even with 3 ints, his mistakes didn't lead to points, brunell gave up turn overs that made points...
brunell has a serious problem too (besides HIS turn overs), he can't throw down the field accurately... that's caused problems for us in both games... no long passes... |

Even if Ramsey's turnovers didn't lead to points, they kept us from scoring points and that's what we needed
I think I have the solution really. Who's been struggling at receiver? Rod Gardner. And who had two completions for two touchdowns with a passer rating of 149 last year? That's right. Rod Gardner! So clearly the answer is to keep Rod in the lineup but move him to QB...maybe we can re-sign Kevin Lockett to back him up
