Sarge Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I hope we lose all the preseason games. We always had great seasons after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Damn, I forgot about those preseason games under Gibbs. I remember one preseason game during the superbowl season; where a reporter told Gibbs that Playboy or some other mag predicted us to win the superbowl. He snapped backed at the reporter. He later apologized but I remember he was angry. Let's see if go 0-4 in preseason one year; maybe that leads to a 11-0 start and win over the Bills in some future superbowl.

National Defense Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 we also show NONE of our offense during the preseason games--pure vanilla all the way, until the backup QBs come in and start chucking it. Remember the Babe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montilar Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Gibbs will start rookies; IF they deserve it. They have to outplay the vet. D. Green started; and made the memorable T. dorsett rundown. Andre Collins (2cd rd LB/1st pick of the skins draft that year) started as a rookie. But how often is a rookie going to qualified to start? They more than likely will not have the playbook down. Look at dockery this year. Ramsey wasn't ready to start. Neither was Betts. or Jacobs. Gardner did, but he earned the nickname 50/50. But a rookie may still get significant playing time even without starting. By the way, an old school rule of thumb: you will generally lose a game for every rookie that starts.

riggins44 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Forget everything you've seen in past 11 years. This man has a plan and will execute that plan. In his press conference he talked about bringing in refs to find out how the rules have changed. The man is about details, but he isn't the drill sargent.

Larry Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I know it's been mentioned, but I recall hearing another coach complain about Gibbs (and the 'Skins) tendancy to have rookies who got 'injured' in preseason and spent the year on IR. (Can Danny work it out so that, if our draft picks get 'injured' they still get full pay? I don't think IR players count towards the cap.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
