Why dont the Redskins use audibles?

With a 700-page playbook, it's too much to ask of an offensive unit to recall all of those plays in case the QB audibles to one of them. So to keep everyone on the same page of that 700-page playbook, the calls come down from the booth - or in from the sidelines - or both - or ... ;)

Or at least the skin's can just fake audibles to slightly throw the defense off and continue to run the same play.

we dont call audibles... if shit looks bad we just take a timeout :/

we dont call audibles... if shit looks bad we just take a timeout :/That's because Saunders/Gibbs often take so long to get the play in that the play clock us usually down to 5 or 6 when the team is set at the line of scrimmage - not enough time to audible out of a bad look.

even when it isnt a play clock issue... thats no excuse we just dont audible... we dont even switch what side the run goes to if it looks bad... the game for us is too, OUT of the players hands it's ridiculous...

If you go to playoffs then it's time to use Collins and let Campbell practice holding the ball to keep from fumbling and read defense to cut the interceptions and start him for 8 games next year again

Did you just say start Collins in the playoffs?

Wait, WHAT!!?

Are you kidding, or serious, and either way what are you even attempting to communicate?

Speaking of audibles, did anyone hear Joe Gibbs today on Redskins Radio?

Larry Michael questioned Jason Campbell about the one-handed catch to Santana Moss after the Dallas game, and JC said that the play was an audible. During his show today, Larry Michael mentioned this to Gibbs, and Gibbs said 'That was stupid of Jason. Jason needs to shut his trap.'

I couldn't believe I heard Gibbs say that, knowing how careful he is not to call out players to the media or in public.

I wish I had a link or something, but it was on the Bram Weinstein Show today when they speak with Gibbs.

EDIT: Ok, I Googled it, here's something from somebody's blog. (http://coveringtheredskins.blogspot.com/2007/11/november-20-jason-needs-to-shut-his.html)
