the bottom line is Gibbs=GOD in DC. I am in the military and if he told me to kill I would no questions asked. But I do agree there were times when he was holding back, and trying to play the game that he used to play. We no longer have Riggins, Riggs, etc, and the smash mouth game of yesteryear doesn't exist anymore. However, he was and always will a symbol of professionalism and a true coach, one that is dedicated to his team and tradition.

Now on to Zorn....with no proven track record all we as fans can do is hope. Hope that the team will buy into a new philosophy, a new scheme (at least offensively), a new identity, and mostly a new coach. But if you look at the Holmgren/Walsh coaching tree a lot of really good coaches have come out that mold. I am eager to see more of an open attack. While it may not be the deep down field passes, the game will be more fun to watch from a fan perspective. Plus with a zone blocking scheme, Portis will have more opportunity to show his dominance. With Moss, and ARE they will not be relied upon to make the big catch, just the YAC, which is there style of game anyways.

After lots of thinking and deliberating I am eager to see what happens. Overall I believe that in time, the skins will be back to dominance, as long as we start drafting for the future, and preserve our sense of winning. NO MORE BIG NAMES AT THE FA. Work on building the team from the young and instill in them what it takes to win at the next level.
