You make it sound like he has not taken snap in months. He gets plenty of work in practice.

I'm not making excuses for him I'm just saying don't be surprised if he struggles a bit. Gibbs put all of his eggs in one basket with Brunell this year, Ramsey has been left on the shelf for the most part.

As for him getting plenty of work in practice I guess that's true if you consider 10% of the snaps and running the practice squad a lot of work.

Let him work as the starter for a few weeks and we'll see where he stands. Something tells me he'll be much better off with more work with the first team.

Do we know that this is the case? 10% of snaps is all Ramsey has been getting?

There is one positive thing to remember -- did anyone else notice Ramsey getting into a pretty good rhythm with Laveranues Coles in the 4th quarter? On one drive Coles caught 3 out of 4 passes, which were mainly 10 yard hook patterns. He and Ramsey seemed to be getting into a pretty good groove there for a while. Rod Gardner though, had one of his less memorable games.

And that was another thing plaguing our team yesterday. Quarterback isn't the only problem with this offense. In addition to the drops from our wideouts, there are still major issues with the offensive line to address. Dockery still seems to be good for either a holding penalty or false start in just about every game. Ditto for Cory Raymer. Chris Samuels and Randy Thomas seem to be holding their own. But Ray Brown is probably running on fumes at right tackle. Whatever happened to Kenyatta Jones?

For all the problems Gibbs is having with his quarterbacks, Joe Bugel is having his own problems with the O-line. Plus, there isn't consistent run blocking that we can depend on when we really need it. Yesterday would have been one of those games when we should have been able to simply hand the ball to Portis, get him his 30 or more carries and hope he can break one.

Point is, quarterback isn't the only problem with this team.
