Why? Both the Eagles and the Steelers have fairly bad corners and the Steelers safeties are horrible in coverage but are great against the hit. Make them cover. We need more 3/4 WR sets and we need to go deep OCCASSIONALLY. I want to see mid range passing. 7-12 yards. Let our guys get YAC, but give them some YPC.

Then we make them respect the pass and spread them out for Portis to have a big day.

I agree with the complaints about the playcalling. The offense has been especially maddening this year, especially as compared to last season when our offense was capable of putting up points but we couldn't stop anybody. It's just a different side of the coin, but it's even more frustrating considering we've got Joe Gibbs on the sidelines and if Gibbs is known for anything it's offense.

It's coming, and I sure hope we get 5 full years of Joe Gibbs. I thought we'd go 9-7 this year, but then again I thought we'd win more games than the Cowboys last year too. It's more of a matter of when with the Skins these days, all we need is one guy to make somebody miss or break a tackle or hit on one downfield throw. Right now Gibbs is coaching not to lose, because Ramsey has shown a propensity to throw picks in bunches.

It's impossible for Gibbs to throw downfield because the o-line is not giving the qb much time. I heard somebody say something about the 7 step drops being the problem, but it's the line's inability to give our qb any time to go through his reads. Look how Philly handled our blitz, while McNabb was hurried and harassed, he wasn't hit (except for that blast from Haley) and he had time to go through his reads. Once we get our line up to an acceptable level, then we'll see a more dynamic gameplan. Right now Gibbs has to keep the qb upright first, then we can worry about where to throw. But Ramsey has enough trouble hitting the underneath stuff, he's got to walk before he can run.

Trying to go long on Pittsburgh might work, but it's going to be a long day for us. Hope G. Williams has a plan to stop the bus.
