So in this past game, they went from a lefty that was floating balls out there, to a righty that fires bullets. That's definitely got to be an adjustment, and they even may have to adjust their routes a little to compensate. This has got to be very hard to do mid-game, so I kinda excused the first couple drops after Ramsey came in due to this (but then again, they are professionals!). Not to make excuses, but it also may have had a part in why so many passes were almost picked off...I dunno.
Anyway, it's just another thought about how a full week of practice together with Ramsey will help them get better chemistry and get their timing down better. Thoughts?

There is much truth to that & a lefty rolls out to the left instead of the right most of the time & WR's have to adj. to where they are looking for the ball when the QB scrambles out of the pocket. If you notice Gardner learned fast that he needed to break toward the left sideline when Brunell was flushed out of the pocket, but so did the D's.
