Joe Gibbs on Monday informed starter Patrick Ramsey, who suffered a sprained neck in the second quarter of Sunday's victory over the Chicago Bears, that he will be replaced by Mark Brunell when the Redskins face the Dallas Cowboys next Monday night. The move came incredibly quick even by Gibbs standards, and followed weeks of public support for Ramsey, the team's first-round choice in the 2002 draft. "This is something that is extremely hard," Gibbs said Monday. "You don't like doing this. I don't. Sometimes you don't chart the circumstances or what happens -- it just happens. Certainly it wasn't the plan I had going in, but sometimes plans change, and I think you do the best you can in dealing with it." On Monday evening, Gibbs all but acknowledged that the switch was made for performance, and not injury reasons, by noting that he felt Ramsey was "fine" physically. "I'm looking for someone to establish himself as our quarterback," Gibbs said.
