Surprising comment from Mike Sellers on Channel 9...

[Spaceman Spiff]

Maybe its run Portis more than 4 times?

[Sweet Sassy Molassy]

We'll actually run the flea flicker and WR screen Passes the entire game.

[Art Monk Fan]

theyre gonna run the running plays denver runs.

Well now, Byner did go meet with Alex Gibbs this off season to learn how he implements his running game.

From what Byner told us, A. Gibbs let him know you have to really commit to it because it's a completely different way of run blocking and it takes work to get the timing down. Maybe we've finally got that timing and coordination and we're about to start using the A. Gibbs run blocking techniques that have worked so well in Denver.

BTW, isn't A. Gibbs down in Atlanta right now where they have the league's #1 rushing offense?

[clubisyohankovic]

statue of liberty.

or that old play from the fifties where the team huddles around the ball carrier and then everyone runs in different directions pretending that they have the ball.

these can't miss...

[EnFoRcEr_uPu]

maybe, 4 wide

my bets on what he said.

[Hollywood2k3]

I for one, hope it is S. Taylor on offense opposite Moss. That would be SICK!!

[Om]

Something they should have done all season: THE NO HUDDLE OFFENSE. It has always been in Gibbs' arsenal, but hasn't been used in his 1 1/2 years so far as a regular staple in the offense. Brunell and Ramsey are smart enough to run it.

Or it could be that Sellers is just throwing out some BS, hoping that iut sticks on some Philly newstation somewhere to give the Beagles something to think about.

There isn't anything the NFL hasn't seen. So my guess is a change of pace type of offense that dictates to a defense instead of the offense reacting to a defense.

Just my two cent$.

This one makes some sense. Been wondering when the no-huddle would reappear. Gibbs used it to great success the first time around, and I figured when Brunell got the starting nod it was just a matter of time given his experience. We'll see it as some point, I suspect. Sunday makes sense.

We'll see.

And don't sweat Bonez, who apparently is something of an internet tease. We had someone feed him disinformation ...

[renegademrnate23]

perhaps they will start scoring again, thats all i care about.

[HaVoC]

I would like to see Sellers run with the football in short yardage situations. I don't know if I trust the guy enough to be taking handoffs on a consecutive basis. So my guess would be Heavy Jumbo. Maybe they will finally commit to a power running game and use a different back?

The only other thing I can think of would be 5 Wr's to spread the field for brunell and the no huddle offense.

[scrol14]

I believe they are putting Ray Brown opposite of Moss. They are going to try and expose some of Ray's speed:cheers:

[ThomasRoane]

Scratch the No-huddle. We left the Defense on the field way too long vs Giants. And they're too banged up to let that happen again. Scratch the 4 wide too. Hell, our 5 couldn't block the Giants front 4 for crying out loud!!!!

Hopefully, it's Sellers playing Fullback. I've been thinking a lot about the giants game. It was a bad day to be passing the ball. Giants keep the doors open when we're on offense. They were dropping 7 in coverage. The Eagles are more of an attacking/finesse defense. We should be going Two Tight with Sellers at Full back. Run ISO's on their LB's all day. Alternate Moss and Patten running go routes to keep their safety honest (play action). Even if they bring 8 in the box we got a TE on a Safety now.

I would have just run that ISO at Pierce all day and told Sellers to bury his skinny ass into the swamp! Hopefully, that's what they'll do to Trotter. Don't think he can handle that.

[betsy thurman]

Brunell's gonna start throwing right handed.

lol :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

love the sig

[JMac]

Hopefully with this being my first game at FedEx field this will be something good. Two more days and I'm on my way!! Woooo Hooooo!!

[BigRay]

I think I got it !!!!! more gagdget plays

[blackice7x]

Taylor, no way. What if he goes and gets injured and we lose one of our best defensive players. Or what if he totally sucks and causes turnovers.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I remember Gibbs made a switch from a two-back set to a one-back set many years ago. Maybe with the personnel we have here, he's going to switch back?

Sellers has the potential to be a punishing lead blocker and has good hands to catch the ball out of the backfield.

[RabidFan]

Marty Ball

[In Flames]

They are going to quack a lot then run the Flying V

hey, great 80's metal guitar.

[Underwater Ally]

Shotgun with Ramsey and Brunell both in the backfield and the defense having no idea who will be receiving the snap?

Ramsey lined up as a wideout, takes the handoff on the end around, and fires deep..... to Brunell for the touchdown!

:point2sky

[dgreen]

Taylor, no way. What if he goes and gets injured and we lose one of our best defensive players. Or what if he totally sucks and causes turnovers.

Greg Williams has said risking injury to Taylor by playing him on O is not a concern. He said they don't coach that way, being fearful of what might happen. They coach to win. If Taylor adds more to the offense than a Patten or Jacobs or Thrash (or Royal?), without dropping his level of play on D, he will play.

Now, to my "or Royal?" comment. If Taylor does play O, maybe some TE?

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

Where is the ole famous Andyman? It's so funny he's not around anymore since the merger. He use to have this type of information non-stop.

I guess he's not aloud to give out this information since there is a contract between ES and the Skins.

[SlobberKnockinFootball]

It sounds like more of a change on the whole. Not just one player doing something or changing positions. So I think people are barking up the wrong tree with those assumptions. One person isn't going to make us all take notice. It has to be a bigger change for everyone to say oh yea... this is what he was talking about.

[ThomasRoane]

Taylor, no way. What if he goes and gets injured and we lose one of our best defensive players. Or what if he totally sucks and causes turnovers.

Exactly. He could only be used in spots. Face it...Samuels is overrated. Even without a knee injury. Our line is a bit leaky. The best way to fix that is to let them tee off and bash the defense. Even though we'll end up with some boring series on offense, it will chew up clock, minimize the 3rd and longs (we were playing with fire there anyways) and keep Brunell healthy in time for a playoff push. Redskins got away from the run too soon vs Giants. Even if you don't get yards you have to keep the defense honest. It slows down their pass rush and helps to keep their line off-balance. Looking at the stats? Portis got 4 carries? That's pretty bad. Even with the long yardage situations. You just never know when a back will break a big run. And you won't find out unless you work him.

Plus, weather is supposed to be rough in the Northeast this winter. With bad weather and wind you need to be able to grind games out.

So I think we'll see Gibbs get us back to some smash-mouth football.

[Underwater Ally]

The only other thing I can think of would be 5 Wr's to spread the field for brunell and the no huddle offense.

Do we even have 5 wide recievers on the roster?

[betsy thurman]

How about..the cheerleaders strip down and get the Iggles attention on defense, letting our offense just get a free pass....kinda like from the movie The Replacements.

i have been telling my brother for years that this would work -- just have them strip one at a time -- add some girls and cover the entire field , also a little muscle relaxers in the Gatorade so they can't really enjoy the entertainment!!!
