Re: Official Bench Ramsey / Start Brunell Thread
"He hurt his neck," Gibbs said. "For me, I personally felt like Mark got in there, looked pretty smooth and looked good. I felt like I could stay with Mark."
This quote from Redskins.com and Gibbs post game comments, tells me that Gibbs realized early in the game that it would be a low scoring "dog-fight" and he had seen enough out of Ramsey with the turnovers to keep him out of the game. Especially if the trainers were telling him Ramsey might be dizzy, had a concussion (my thoughts at the time) or whatever. My thoughts are that Ramsey will be benched this week. The team will say it is a precaution to his injury or whatever other excuse they want to use. It is sad because I think most of us here want so badly to see Ramsey succeed, but he is just not doing it. Or even separating himself from Brunell for that matter. It is a shame, because I think without Ramsey in against Dallas, we have no shot at winning next Monday. I can stomach a few of Ramsey's turnovers because our defense is so good. Brunell is just inept, and that is much harder for me to watch.
