I was more impressed with the way the O-Line kept the quarterbacks upright and how well we delivered the long ball. Ramsey looked like a new man without defenders using him as a jungle gym. They even ran the old counter trey with Betts in the backfield. The line worked great as a unit and gave the playmakers time and space to make plays. THAT is what was missing last year. If the Skins can finally force defenses to respect the pass and stop putting 8 or even 9 defenders in the box, I see a team contending for a playoff spot. That might be terribly optimistic for the third pre-season game, but what I've seen is steady and rapid improvement through the pre-season. I'm betting it continues.
