That said, Saunders has always valued the running game.

In conclusion, I think Saunders values balance more than some seem to believe.

Here in D.C., it seems that creating the perception of a conflict between Gibbs and Saunders is the topic de jour. Once the Post writes about it, it filters down to the t.v. faces. And of course, Brian Mitchell is always ready to criticise the team for any reason he can grab hold of. In my view, there is no controversey because Gibbs is the HC and if anyone has a problem with his philosophy they can take their brilliant offensive mind, and their 700 page playbook, and their four fried chickens, and their dry white toast, and find work elsewhere.

I agree with you on the TOP thing too. I believe that Parcells made comments to that effect in that NYT article from last season. He suggested that Saunders didn't understand how to manage the game.
