Gibbs giving up playcalling duties!

Brunell will be the starter heading into camp and the preseason. What Brunell does not have that the similarly 36 year old Trent Green does have is accuracy in throwing the intermediate out patterns.

That was a staple of the Chiefs air attack and I don't see that being on the plate for the Skins until we are able to get a stronger arm behind center.

Learn a new system? What we've been doing hasn't exactly been rocket science thus far. The offense needs to become more diverse, and more complicated, if we want to win a superbowl. We need to learn a new system, or significantly tweak the old one, regardless of who is calling the plays.

KC offense wasnt complicated at all, it was very similar to ours. The scheme is a more aggressive though, to get the defense by throat and make the other team play catch up the whole game. This should work out great with our defensive scheme as well.

Thats what Ramsey does have, remember Mark Rypien? That dude was a master at those out patterns, could be 3rd and 20 and he would all ways find Monk or Clark on an out.

He did have a lot more help with the recievers he had, if a D stacked the box like they do now days for Portis, they were torched by the posse. Very interesting to see who Gibbs gets to line up beside Santana this year. :cheers:

come on folks. Brunell threw for 3,000 yards, Portis ran for 1,500 and Moss caught 84 passes for 1,483 :)

let's not pretend as if the Redskins offense all year reminded one of the Texans or the Jets for crissakes :laugh:

this offense was productive against division rivals Dallas, NY and Philly down the stretch (35,35,31) and also produced numbers in other games against the Seahawks, 49ers, Buccaneers and Rams.

this offense would be 'fixable' with or without Saunders. What Saunders brings is the opportunity to add some additional wrinkles to keep teams that know us off balance, but Gibbs was going to improve this team by getting a #2 receiver and some additional playmaking ability in the supporting cast.

And there is the Final answer :point2sky

I don't understand why this is so hard for people to grasp. Gibbs is still the head coach. You people act like this is a brand new strategy. A defensive and offensive coordinator?? On the same TEAM??? :rolleyes:

Yes, folks, Gibbs is still the head coach. There is more to coaching a football team than calling the plays...

:laugh: Well said jrockster! :applause:

BrunellSuperbowl must really miss the Norv Turner days.

In those days we had a HC that would call the plays and sometimes the Redskins would have what you call a high powered offense. Good times.......good times.

Anyway, I'm sure he believes that anyone here disagreeing him is only doing so because they are, at the most fundamental level, a bootlicker.

Gibbs will be the glue that holds this team together...

Maybe he won't be calling plays, but he will be dealing with the players, and the coaches. And, most importantly, he will be making personnel decisions, and decide who we draft.

Let Gibbs do what he does best, and that is deal with people.

How can anyone not love this guy?

:2cents:

:cheers:

I was wondering if any of you redskins pundits ou there could explain the implications of the saunders hire on our offensive scheme, ie, the utilization of the H-back, multiple wide reciver sets, etc.

Dude...there are 30 million threads discussing this very topic...use the search function!! Don't quote your own post to try and get your question answered either...not cool. :doh:

dude...if you took the time to write that, why couldnt you just try to answer the question?...not cool.

also, there is no talk about the h-back in this thread.

in kc, saunders used a fullback. we dont. that's my question. do we keep gibbs's h-back scheme?

I believe this should be repeated over and over again.

Someone should let the press know also. Sorry, lost my head. What would they do with actual facts?

so is Gibbs still the Head Coach?

they said hes now more of a CEO or GM (does he still decide how the game is run on the sideline with timeouts, challenges, speaches in the lockerroom, all other things u associate with the head coah)

This is how Jimmy Johnson coached the Boys in the 90's when they won the Sb's under him...He left the O to Norv and the D to Wannstedt, and he handled personell moves, and managed the game situations on game day...

Gibbs has become a delegater!
