Spurrier's team last year started off strong, then took a nose-dive. This year's team (the offense that is) is basically starting at the bottom and trying to "find itself" and dig out of the hole. I truly believe that they will....it's just taking longer than many of us had anticipated. Replacing Brunell with the "young gun" Ramsey is a step in the right direction, but I wonder if/when Gibbs will actually do it. I wouldn't exactly call the pass protection "excellent", but it has been good for the most part. As I've stated in other threads, if Ramsey was starting, Samuels would be protecting the blind-side, as opposed to Jones/Brown. They are adequate, but they are no Jansen or Samuels. The run "blocking" has been horrendous. Of course they go hand in hand....If there was more of a running game, it could help open up the pass, and vice versa.
There were some hints of some new wrinkles last night with Jacobs in there and the H-back lining up more as a fullback.....hopefully this will continue and we'll see even more different things the next few weeks.
