Heh heh, seems like Gruden's had it with all the hype about Gibbs coming back to the skins. Despite all the ties the Bucs have to Gibbs and the redskins, I'm confident Gibbs will unveil a new offense that the Bucs haven't seen before.

On offense, I think this game boils down to protecting Brunell and ball control by the skins. Give 'em a healthy dose of Portis & Cooley...right up their a$$. I think, given Kiffin's affinity for blitzing, Cooley will have a huge game as the hot read for Brunell. TB's linebackers and secondary are very good, and passing against them is tricky, especially desperation passes while trailing them - as happened to us last year, and the Raiders in the SB.

On the defensive side, our job should be easier, considering that MCcardale isn't playing - Smoot on Galloway & Springs on Tim Brown mixed in with LB & safety blitzes to befuddle Brad Jo.

Skins 24, TB 13.

On another note, I couldn't help noticing how smooth and the Colts and Pats offenses were for the most part last night - that kind of chemistry on offense takes a while to develop - might take us the better part of the season to be that finely tuned offensively...in the mean time, hope the defense can win us some games.
