More Lenny P: O-line manhandled in scrimmage

I just would once like one of the reporters to say what we should have done at the QB spot after how bad Brunell played last year. We had to have a plan B and that is Campbell who did not cost use alot of money but one can argue over the traded draft picks. If Ramsey falls on his face this year it will have been an excellent decision. If Ramsey decideds he wants to leave DC it was an excellent decision. If Ramsey gets hurt its was an excelent decision. If Ramsey plays realy good and stays in DC it may have been a bad move but we still need a back up so why not cover my first points with the back up. The line will be fine. One scrimage where the other team was trying new blitts packages is not something to worry about. If it was our last preseason game I would be worring.

...I would say it is real easy to sit back and criticize when you arguing points that 99% of fans don't understand or can't see. You see very little about those in know, like other players an coaches, saying that there was something major and fundamentally wrong offensively last season.

well, jansen said it was antiquated and portis said it totally failed to use the player's abilities, so there's two people in the know saying it was majorly flawed right there. oh yeah, they were also ON that wretched offense, so we can probably assume they're credible.

Most coaches and players don't go around shit talking people cause its bad PR and bad business, so when something is wrong they tend to not mention it (whereas EVERYONE will say how great the colts O is, how perfect brady is etc)

and i think part of the problem at the scrimmage (besides samuels being out) was a 46 scheme the ravens were running that we had no film on and only scouted for one (MAYBE two) days.

but still, even in the scrimmage, the D looked decent (though we were missing soo many dbs we did get passed on a bit), ST and cooley showed well, but the O didn't. Its only a scrimmage and i'm waiting till preseason is over before getting worried, but from what i've read from the camps (from fans), what i've seen at camp and this scrimmage, our O still isn't close.

I don't think ramsey is really the problem either... in spurrier's second year, with a slightly weaker O line he came out guns blazing until coles got hurt and everyone memerized spurrier's limited playbook. I think the issue has more to do with scheme and playcalling.

We'll see how the new WRs and O line gel over the next month and how much better our O looks on opening day. We struggled to beat the bears last year when they had a total reject QB, but we did play them last year and they'll be about the best measuring stick we'll have.

I have to say I agree with Lenny on this one, it's probably one of his more intelligent observations that he has made.

Get used to it guy's our offensive line was atrocious last season and hasen't faired much better so far, although it was the first scrimmage you would think after all the work in the offseason we would be a little further along than we are, this week's game should be a big tell on where we sit as an offensive line.

We are starting to here little by little that coaching may be the problem with the skin's and not personel, no one want's to jump to any quick conclusions about a hall of fame coach, but that speculation is starting to arise, as I stated in another thread, this season is bigger for Gibbs, than Ramsey, most management around the NFL believe Ramsey is the good's he's just being held back by inferiour coaching, I really hope Gibbs, AND Bugel, can catch up?

I agree that this is a huge year for Gibbs. He has to make progress. Spurrier proved that just because you had success in one league it does not mean it will translate into another. The NFL today is like a different league than it was in 1987. Here is why I think he will find success:

The biggest difference that I see is that Gibbs recognizes that there is a problem with the offense and his own plays and that some players did not fit his plays. He made changes last year to make his offense better by the end of the season. He sends Byner out to steal as much info about how to run the Denver stretch plays as possible. He finds faster, sure handed receivers to get the chunks that he couldn't get last year. He drafted a QB so that he can get rid of Brunnell. He drafted a power back (NEMO) to take the 1 yard 3rd down runs off Portis.

Most importantly, he brought in Musgrave. A guy with the total opposite offensive philosophy to himself. If this doesn't say that he is comitted to finding new ways to exploit defenses I don't know what does.

Last year was the first year that I honestly thought things improved as the year went on. In the past (except with Marty) it seemed like we always had a good start and then fell apart.

the only thing lenny p manhandles in ihs dong piece

i really don't care what lenny fatboy has to say. there were some positives, but he said we should've given champ bailey that fat contract extension, but look at how our cornerbacks did last season. on the other hand, lavar can cover and blitz. i think we made the right decision. and he went overboard when he criticized our o-line. ok, so we weren't that good, but he made us out like we've never heard of the blitz before.

hes a fat piece of shit, who gieves a shit wha t he thiks?

i get more enterained be him t han anythign
