one point for optimism is that, in his last 2 appearances against them, ramsey has been pretty good (except for when he threw that pass to nd kalu, hehe). in fact, we were one 2 point conversion away from tying them last time, to certainly win in ot. the thing that amazes me about the eagles is that no one has really exploited their cornerbacks deep yet, and while those guys are getting good, they are still far from taylor and vincent. with the line stacked against portis, i think ramsey will have a great opportunity to make the kind of throw we all wanted brunell to make. that will open up portis for a 200 yard day, if we complete even one pass over 25.
the other thing i worry about is us blitzing, getting to the qb, but having our guys just bounce off of him - he's tough to tackle. hopefully, williams can stress rapping up his legs, cos i know smoot and springs love to do that torpedo tackle on blitzes, and that's trouble with mcnabb.
TO will catch a td but he will also get laid out and spit on by taylor. portis 150, ramsey 17-26, 189, 2 TD, skins win 27-21. yeah!
