Brunell Starting

[SmootSmack]

Well I have gone on record as saying I don't think last year was all Brunell's fault. And regardless of the fact that it was against 2nd stringers this preseason Brunell showed that he still makes good decisions and has some zip on his passes. I was happy to see that Brunell could still play this game and was pleased to see that we had a solid backup QB who could step in when called upon.

Well now he's been called upon and I'll be driving the Brunell Bandwagon with Matty riding shotgun. I'll be in a neighborhood near you next Tuesday morning to pick up the Redskins fans that want to get on board.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

This had to have been a tough call for Gibbs. Does anyone really believe that he made this call all by himself? I know he has the final decision, but I have to think that Williams, Burns, Bugel, and Musgrave had plenty of input on it.

Now, for those of you out there blaming Joe for making this decision, would you be so upset if you found out the Greg Williams went to Joe and said they needed to make the change? They may believe that Ramsey is just a sitting duck and Dallas is going to kill him?

I know that if I were a defensive coordinator I would have looked at the bears game and decided to take my chances with all else blitzes. It looks like Ramsey is going to cough up the ball every other time.

I'm sorry but the message was simple, protect the ball or I'll have to use some means other than words to convince you. Don't forget Gibbs did this to Rypien.

In retrospect, we shouldn't be surprised by Ramsey's benching, didn't we post it on these very boards, wasn't this mentioned in chat.....Gibbs won't tolerate costly mistakes....the thing that caught my eye in the Post article was, "But Ramsey showed a penchant to commit turnovers at critical times."
Gibbs wants to win and made his decision......I'll support my coach and team.........all I want to do is BEAT DALLAS.........I feel bad for Ramsey, but when all I read was how confident Ramsey was supposed to be this year, but when I saw him in actual games, it didn't appear he actually had that confidence, he still had "happy feet" and committed some bad mistakes........ Remember, it could be worse, we could have Tony Romo or Drew Henson as our backup QBs...............

Really? He didn't mind Brunell serving up turnovers last season, and none were more costly than his turnovers against the Ravens, and I believe the Giants that led to 2 defensive TD's, which in turn we lost those games and those scores were the difference, and kept us out of the playoffs.

Those turn overs in the Giants game were because of Clinton Portis. He fumble 5 times and got benched for Ladell Betts afterwards.

Edit: Not to mention Ramsey comming in the Game and throwing a Pick the first time he got near the endzone. So he gave up at least 3 points right there.

Seeing that broke my heart because I was the biggest Ramsey supporter out there, and I WANTED him to start.

Now he got his shot and I didn't like what I saw.

Oh, you didn't know? I made the wheels for that bandwagon and put a Big Block Engine in that baby! Move over, cus Coach Gibbs is in the driver seat! All you real fans better fasten your safety belts, because we're goin' 110 MPH and the next stop is Dallas! Final stop.... Detroit!
