Ramsey, Brunell - Arms race

[Schneed10]

At times you want passes to look soft like they're floating down softly into the receiver's hands. At other times you want the ball gunned through coverage. Ramsey seems to have a good grasp of when touch is needed and when a cannon is needed, he just needs to keep working on the execution. The accuracy isn't completely there yet.

I think the above summarizes the Ramsey issue nicely. He's like a fiddler crab with one enormous claw, and one baby claw. When you have that ginormous claw you tend to use it with impugnity. He has worked hard all offseason to to soften his B line throws, and I think its showing more and more.....the accuracy however is a whole other issue.

I watched the game on replay this weekend since I didn't have the benefit of watching it live.. I was more impressed by Ramsey than I thought I would be.. The 2 picks he threw were bad (especially the one in the end zone) but the preseason is for making mistakes and correcting them. I would hope in the future Ramsey will throw the 1st pass into the 2nd row. It was hard to tell on the 2nd throw. The one thing he did that scared me was in the 2nd quarter he was being tackled by 2 people and still tried to throw it.. EAT THE BALL PATRICK! That's one thing that he does that worries me, still trying to make a play when there's no way it can be completed.

It scares Joe Gibbs too......that's one thing he preaches is about making good decisions, and throwing the ball out of bounds or taking a sack if your in trouble......If these types of mistakes continue then Patrick he could get the hook.........

I think another reason Brunell has played well, he's now healthy........
