those stretch plays are custom made for Portis, who's an expert with them, the other bigger backs don't have the experience or quickness. Cooley's routes have also been hidden, and he's gonna be THE guy over the middle and in the flats, our sole "possesion" receiver.

those are our most solid and tested weapons, and that's why we've seen everything ELSE these pre-season games, the things we really need to practice. (also why people shouldn't be freaking out over Ramsey's two INTs, he's only playing that part of the playbook!).

i think Gibbs should stay right on this track, teach Ramsey how to do deep progressions, and practice touch passes over defenders. the rest will take care of itself (and in closed practice), the underneath stuff was ALL our offense was last year. having the airgame down and be an actual threat will only multiply it's effectiveness x10.
