A New Offensive Scheme? (Merged Thread)

The redzone play needs to get better. I would of liked to see my man Sellers get one of those carries there on the 1 yard line.

The offense definitely had a Gibbs flavor today. If he really did take back control of the offense I say stick with it.

True or False.

1. Today Gibbs was holding a laminated play sheet.

2. Gibbs held no laminated playsheet the previous 7 games.

3. Offensive Linemen pulling like crazy today.

4. Most called pass play today was play-action 7 step drop.


In fairness to Al, the two touchdowns were obviously his misdirection plays. But, they worked because they were anomalies. For mis-direction to work, the defense has to think your likely to do the other. Ellis got caught sneaking inside on the toss to Portis because of the 12 Gibbs gut plays that came before. The Cooley TD was bootleg action with Brunell rolling out. The entire Dallas defense was following Portis or Betts or whoever the fake was to. Beautiful.

I think they should let Saunders design the gameplan and then let Gibbs call most of the plays. (Joe will end up using about 3 run plays out of 30) If Saunders has something he likes he can do an Arnold Horshack impression and try to talk Joe into it. OOOH, OOOH, OOOH. That way we get the best of both worlds.

Yeah I noticed him holding what looked like a play call sheet.

Daseal and I briefly discussed this at halftime...

We both thought that by Moss being out could be a good thing for Brunell. It would force him to look at someone other than 89. Without him in there, he couldn't set his sights on him every play. Did it help? Who knows. Just a thought.I think you call the same plays with 89 in the lineup as you did today. The offense would only improve.

I pray we see the same kind of passing attack next week that we saw today. I'd like to see the running game improve, but I was happy with the passing game's production and style. I just hope #89's return doesn't cause us to go back to our pre-Week 9 passing game.

Today's offense definately looked like a Gibbs-Saunders hybrid. I don't know whether Saunders and Gibbs were splitting the play-calling duties, but I liked what I saw.

Today was Gibbs calling the plays but he should have used Duckett or Sellers at the goaline. Exciting Game HAIL TO THE REDSKINS

i wish someone would ask Gibbs if he was calling some of the plays today, because it sure looked like it. where is Joe crisp when you need him?

My thioughts exactly. We wasted a 3rd round pick on Duckett, who is pretty good, an we don't use him. He did wonders for Atlanta punching the ball into the endzone. At the very least it wouldn't hurt to go back to last year and do the Play Action Roll Out flip to Mike Sellers, that worked a shit load of time last year.
