nycskinsfan Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=1730910&partnersite=espn Washington (5-11): Those naysayers who suggest the game has passed by Joe Gibbs may have to eat their words. Provided, that is, Gibbs can keep the fingerprints of owner Dan Snyder away from the roster. Gibbs never worked under a salary cap or the current free agent system and both will cause him some grief. But the counter-trey and the play-action passes that earned the Redskins three Super Bowl rings during Gibbs first head coach incarnation will still work just fine. Gibbs sorely needs a big, early-down back and bulk on the defensive front. If he can run the ball effectively, though, that will camouflage some of the shortcomings. It will be interesting to see, should Washington complete the trade for Mark Brunell, how the change at quarterback affects the franchise both on and off the field. Certainly the incumbent starter, two-year pro Patrick Ramsey, won't be satisfied playing caddy to Brunell. The fact the Redskins were so stealthy in approaching Jacksonville officials about a deal for Brunell, at the same time Gibbs was publicly saying nice things about Ramsey, could backfire on Snyder and his minions.
