"Coach Joe is on the Warpath!"

Stubborn? In what way? I think he's shown a willingness to change -- giving up playcalling to Al Saunders was a huge departure from the norm for Gibbs.

I'm really happy to see that Joe is fired up and a little ticked off again. I didn't think he had it in him anymore, but he suprised me. I want to see the guys play with that kind of attitude all year.Instead of getting pissy with a bunch of reporters, I'd rather hear that Gibbs is going medieval on the players in practice after an absolute meltdown of a 2nd half against NY. Gibbs 1.0 would have had them in full pads, with full contact practices all week after such a galling loss. I really don't sense that the players have a healthy fear of Gibbs since he returned.

Agreed. I'm not sure that media session means anything. Winning games w/ guys flying around the field making huge plays will be the only way to know whether it means anything. If Gibbs can begin to fire-up his boys it will make all the difference, because so far in 2.0 there just has not been the kind of inspired play seen under HOF coaches. I know this is an age old argument and my dad will always say that NFL players are supposed to be professionals (paid a shitload of money) who shouldn't need to be inspired. Give me a friggin break. Look at how guys get fired up under Dungy and Belichick and Cowher (even if I don't like the guy). Not to mention most of the ballers are still kids. Shit, Portis is two years younger than I am. Younger guys look for inspiration. If the coaching staff can't light a fire under the asses of testasterone laden, half-juiced jocks there's a big f'n problem. I'm praying this is our breakout game. Hail Skins!

I agree totally. I think JG getting pissed is definitely a good thing, but I would also like to see some of that on the players a bit as well.

Seems like JG finally woke up....

Redskins 38 Lions 17

Game on.

Sounds like a player or a coach really pissed of the Joe...let it all out Joe...let your inner people go!

Gibbs is not the guy to throw stuff and break thing it just not in him now or in his past.

haha what are you his roommate?

Yeah he gave up the playcalling but he is dictating to Sanders. This is not the way Sanders wants to run his offense.

Plus those two terrible play calls at the end of the Giants game were his.

Honestly I don't care if Gibbs breaks 100 film projectors. It doesn't matter. We need to win cause it's a conference game and we need to come out and score some points. Det is going to score, I have no doubt about that. So I want to see us going down the field on these guys like Philly did. McNabb lit them up with Kevin Curtis. So if Kevin Curtis can have a big day then Santana and ARE should have a field day.

He needs to be on the Warpath. i am a bit tired of the same ole act week in and week out. "they fought their guts out....we are in this thing together.... blah blah blah. He needs to start busting some ass around redskin park and get people fired up and motivated to play. I am sick of the no fire this team has. In 2005 this team had a swagger and fight about them. I just dont see that same attitude from this team yet.

History will tell you that when the Redskins were in their glory years, we had a balanced offensive attack. As much as Gibbs has been known for his ball controlled offense, we actually had a pretty decent balanced offense.

I didn't see the interview with George Michael, but I wouldn't doubt if what Gibbs said to him wasn't meant to be tongue and cheek and the media taken every word as gospel. If that's the case, it isnt' lying, I mean heck, what team wouldn't want to win every ball game by just handing it off to the running back?


Gibbs made a concentrated effort to drive home the point he expects to run a "balanced" attack. During the course of that MB he used the word "balanced" at least ten times, in an effort to ensure they grasped the significance of what he has consistently maintained....."balance".
