RB Warrick Dunn Had 13 carries compared to Duckett's 5

RB T.J. Duckett Bruiser can't wear down a defense without touches

There's no way that you cant' put Ramsey on at least equal footing with Johnson. They both have something to prove in the NFL, but Ramsey has more in-game NFL experience and continues to improve. We may be seeing all there is to see from Johnson right now.

Pat Ramsey 17 of 23 185yds 73.9%completed 1 td 1 int sacked 4 times ran a Huge 20 yrd run .

Doug Johnson 16 of 27 228yds 59.3%completed 2td 1int Sacked twice ... didnt run a big one to set up gw field goal .

Ramsey faced the Jets defense Johnson faced the Pokes , hmmm . Its only one game true but I see why Ramsey is questionnable and Johnson is filling in admirably :fart:

What is it with these major media outlets hating on the Skins???

After almost 40 years of rootin' for the skins (I was saying "go Redskins!" before I knew where I wanted them to go.), I can tell you that we never have, and never will be, a media favorite. Even when we had the monster teams in 82, 83, and 91, when the "experts" did pick us to win, it was begrudgingly. And in spite of the fact that we had the best team in the NFL in 83 (yea I know we lost the SB, but that was as much on us as it was a great game by the Raiders. It was Rocky vs. Mr T (first fight) all over again), we never had the respect of the media.

Anyway, enough of the tangents. The point is, we just have to get used to being dissed. It works to our advantage, sorta.

now don't get me wrong i'm not here to flame your boards or be a troll i'm just here to give my input. we all like diffrent teams but we are all football fans.

Well, at least be intelligent in your posts.

I doubt you guys will even score 20 on our defense let alone win by 20.

How exactly were you planning of doing that anyway? Your offense (Vick) is still out a few more weeks. No matter what you think or wish, the reality is that you guys don't have enough firepower to scare...anyone really. Once your healthy that may be another story but...your not so......

you lost me with your screen name - dunnrunningoveru? Who exactly is Warrick Dunn gonna run over? I mean, I know he'd probably be a Mack truck on the JV team at whatever middle school you currently attend, but this is the NFL, Sonny Jim. You should change "over" to "around" or something so people will take you more seriously (but for this week, I suggest "dunnbeingbodyslammedbylavararrington", just to be even more accurate).

Don't see it.

The skins are going to focus on Peerless with Champ, the TE is going to be covered and unless the defense has a brain fart you have to know that Lavar/ Trotter is going to key Dunn

If Dunn isnt careful, he will end up broken by the end of the day. Atl will have to attempt to run to keep our LB's and safeties honest so we dont blitz Johnson into an early grave. If Dunn isnt on his "A" game, we'll see him on the sidelines with ice on his body by the 2nd quarter. Id expect to see alot more of T.J. Duckett this Sunday.

can you please explain how you feel this when the cowpukes just put almost 400 yards on your "good" defense??

If dallas had a QB you would have lost bad, hate to tell you the truth. Just giving my input :silly:
