Ah yes...
...the nattering nay bobs of negativity.
Here's the deal.
Ramsey already proved his salt in the pinball machine known as Air Spurrier.
This kids has stones.
Most quarterbacks take 3-5 years to really get it and the ones who did well sooner all had one HUGE advantage; coaching consistency.
Ramsey got thrown to the wolves with Spurrier and then was told by one of the greatest coaches of all time that old man Mark Brunnel is better than you.
Then, same said great coach gets himself a slash runner for the power running line we have. Then he uses pretty much the same passing game that everyone else learned to beat over the last 12 years.
So, Brunnel we learn is as done as Jacksonville said he was by putting a youngster, Lewftwhich, in his old job.
The offense is clearly a work in progress, unknown as to how the running game will evolve and bereft of any sizable, ball control wide outs.
So, Patrick has the same coaches for the second year for the first time in his career and THEY are in the middle of overhauling the thing so, in effect, he is learning yet another new system.
In the mean time, he will still stand in there and throw the damn ball which is job one in making any completions, of which he made 62% last year, stuck looking over his shoulder every play as the master pursed his lips from the sideline and frowned unapprovingly.
Gibbs has said "you are my guy".
Patrick has to be given the first four games, win or lose. Either he'll settle in and quit second guessing himself because he's had 3 entirely different offenses floating around in his head or he won't. Frankly, nothing could be better for him right now than to be throwing a few picks and have Gibbs tell him to keep with it, that he's still the guy. Builds some trust.
With Portis putting on some pounds and the line healthy, you have to realize how big a deal that is for an offense. That's job 1.
#2 is a defense that should absolutely be better than last year. Two starting LB's back who didn't play hardly at all last year. They've got enough to have not lost much or anything with Smoot leaving. Bowen back. Taylor with a year under his belt and 9 in there to boot. D line healthy.
So, given a strong sunning game and a better defense that leaves us with letting Pat just play. We're looking at two completions a game, play action off a solid ground game, going for 14 points with the speed they have at WR.
Throw in Cooley at emergency time. Hall healthy. Decent special teams.
I think you all had better be more concerned with your vocal warm ups.
tap, tap, tap....me me me me, la la la la, tee tee tee tee
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
