It seems to me that the Skins should have known exactly what they are getting when they signed Saunders - they didn't sign him thinking that he would be calling a straight up running game. The guy has been a very successful offensive coordinator playing the game in a pretty specific way which is what the Skins hired. Now, it turns out the we currently don't have the personnel to carry this out and it may be that we should have hired more of a 'Joe Gibbs/Redskin' type guy - hardly Saunders's fault.

However, give the guy and the players time. JC is going to improve and I believe that we have the weapons to make it work. Let's see how the rest of this season and all of next season goes before calling for Saunder's head.
