Yeah agreed.

I like the O-Line's chances at giving Ramsey enough time to get the ball off. They showed solid pass protection towards the end of last year, and now we have Jansen back, plus Rabach.

I like the speed of Santana Moss and David Patten, there's no reason they can't at least threaten the safeties on deep routes. Moss will need to stay healthy, of course.

And I like Ramsey's arm strength.

The things to watch for are Ramsey's accuracy on the deep balls (can he actually connect), and can our smaller receivers get off the jam that physical corners are sure to put on them. The illegal contact rule helps our smurfs, but they've still got to contend with those first five yards. They both showed they can do it with big yards-per-catch numbers last year. So if Ramsey's accuracy is there, I can see it coming together nicely.
