Now, the one fumble was recovered by us, but that doesn't make me feel any better about Ramsey's pocket presence. The int was just bad. The second fumble should have been given back to us via a penalty, but Ramsey still needs to feel the pass rush and tuck and duck.

First, he doesn't scare anyone so they just pin back thier ears and come after him. Not good considering how many times he loses the ball when he gets hit.

Second, Brunnel can move around in the pocket, aviod the pass rush, seems to have a better arm then last year, and has a grasp on Gibbs offense.

I can see why Gibbs likes Brunnel over Ramsey. Especially with the Skins defense.

Ramsey won the starting job last year and should enjoy some support for a couple of games while he irons things out with his new recievers... but... Gibbs is going to go with whoever he thinks gives the skins the best chance to win. With our defense, I think that is going to be the guy who doesn't turn the ball over.

Nice post.
