Bugel asks Ramsey to show something

[joecrisp]

I didn't hear or see Bugel make those statements, but by several accounts from those who did, Bugel called out Brunell as well. From the sound of it, Buges was basically saying that he wants Ramsey to do something special in practice to show that he should be the starter. Unfortunately, Ramsey gets very few, if any, reps with the first team offense (which has been documented by the Post and the Times, and acknowledged by Gibbs), and the reps he does get are mostly with the scout team, playing against the starting defense. Last I read, Gibbs was saying that Ramsey does a fine job with the scout team offense:

"Is it ideal for him? No," Gibbs said of Ramsey. "Would you like to get him some reps in practice, yeah. But if you do that, I've found, you're taking a 10 percent thing and trying to project and you're going to take away [snaps] in practice every week, and you really can't do that to the starter. He's been great as far as attitude and everything, he's been terrific, and those guys are always one play away. It's a tough thing to go through, but that's part of the quarterback position."
