| Re: Thank You - An Open Letter
Gibbs definitely deserves some credit for building the foundation of this team. Recently I've wondered if we would be 4-1 right now if he stayed on. I honestly think we might be. When you look back at the end of last year and compare it to what the team is doing right now, 3 things stand out. Solid defense, a good running game, and good play at the QB position. When you have those 3 things working for you, chances are you're going to be a very good team.
Before this blows up into a Zorn vs. Gibbs debate which I'm really not trying to start, I just want to say I think Zorn was a breath of fresh air this team really needed. But, you can't deny that this was basically a turnkey type of take over for Zorn. All the pieces were in place, he just need to find his way to make it work. And I definitely give Zorn a ton of credit for making it such a smooth transition, because as the first week showed the potential for a disaster was there.
Gibbs built this hotrod and handed over the keys. Zorn is the one putting the pedal to the metal. |
