My thing is i think coach JOE is so worried about turn overs and crap that he is scared to really let Al call the plays. Last year was a normal 1st year for an Al Saunders offense. If you go back and look at the stats from his 1st years in St Louis and KC, you will see they were mid to bottom 20's in the NFL. The second year they went up about 10 spots to close to top 10. then of course the 3rd and following years they were always top 3 or 5 in total offense. I just think Joe is not allowing all to open it up so to speak. these guys have been here 2 years w/ al, I think its about time to see what the big O can do.

I agree. We're what, 54 games into Gibbs Part 2, and it ain't working on offense. We're paying Saunders $2M a year, time for Gibbs to get some balls and let him call THE WHOLE game, not just parts of it. Gibbs plays eveything so close to the vest, and absolutely DREADS the idea of things like important field goals (he can never watch) and turnovers. The past should be a predictor of the future- Saunders had amazing succeess with offensive autonomy before. He should have it now.
