I was at AC the last couple of day's and spent most of my time playing hold'em, I was wearing my skin's hat and ran into a few skins fans at the tables, which started the rest of the tables talking and they asked me how I thought the skins would do? And I said I believe they are going to the playoffs, so they asked why, and so I told them, the key to any team is the offensive line, but even more so for Gibbs because he ask's much more of his line, they have to hold their pass blocks longer because of the deeper pass patterns which take longer to develope, so you need top lineman, we can't get by with cookie cutters like Denver.

Then some said Ramsey really suck's and that's our biggest problem, and again I explained that a Gibbs offense is very difficult to learn, and even more difficult to trust, trust you ask? The QB know's he has to hold the ball longer which mean's the D will have more to time to break loose and pummell him, so in his mind he knows that when the WR's make their defining moves downfield he wont have much time to deciede where to go if his primary target is covered, which translates into happy feet, ala Ramsey, Rypien would constantly throw falling backwards to help ease the impact of a hit, almost every QB I can remember other than Theisman had some kind of nervous reaction in the pocket of a Gibbs offense, but when they became comfortable the offense was a thing of beauty, my thought is this, our running game will start putting defenses on the defensive which will open up the passing game with play action and so on, which will build Ramsey's confidence as the season goes on.

Then some where doubtful that we would be able to run the football, and I said I had no doubt's this season, and pointed to the Steelers game and how we didn't run the ball, but we were blowing them off the line of scrimmage, creating huge holes for Portis, early on in the game, and that pretty much silenced them. I don't know about a SB just yet, Joey T. is putting his ball's on the line, but I do know what he's starting to see unfold with this team, remember the same type of scenerio happened once before and he lived it.
