Another thing to remember: if we can improve our offensive efficency on 3rd downs, we will have longer drives. That will keep opponents offenses off the field, meaning they score less points. Plus, we have to eliminate TOs. That too will take points from the opposition. Imagine if the offense helps the defense in these ways! We may not need to become the Colts here--just a Joe-Gibbs ball-control team. Time of possession and TOs is the key. (Not to say we should score more points!!! But that's not all our weak offense didn't do last year.)

One of the crucial stats in a Gibbs offense is time of possession. Watch for it this year. With a good o-line, it will improve.
