I think that Saunders tries to design his plays so that they are immune to any look the defense gives. Shades of Spurrier. Spurrier would have tried to block Demarcus Ware with Christian Fauria too.

What a depressing thought. Saunders is Steve Spurrier without the combination routes. He's Horizontal Spurrier.

at least Spurrier knew the direction of the endzone. christ did i just say that??

i don't believe Saunder's offense was purely horizontal, i remember plenty of downfield, over the middle shots to Gonzalez. Cooley should be that guy here, he has some of the same ability.

You guys have to realize that Saunders is not running the offese he want's to. KC the last four or five years were always a top ten rushing/passing offense. It all starts with the QB. And if you don't have the trigger man then it just does not work.

Exactly.. Trent Green is twice the QB Brunold is. He's not afraid to throw the ball down the field, stand in the pocket and take a hit to deliver the ball, use that huge green area between the hash marks, throw to more than 2 receivers in one game. Doing those things and using the screen game (where is the HB screen?) open up the running game significantly.

how do you know this? was it something that saunders or coach gibbs said? if its true, which i doubt, we are the only team in organized football that doesnt have some sort of audible system. i guess our playcalling is so indestructable that no matter what defense is being played, the offense will work. what a ajoke

I don't know the answer to your first question. But how do you know we are the only team in organized football that doesn't audible?

all teams at least make adjustments at the line of scrimmage, at least to change the direction of the running plays, against the overloaded side of the formation. my son played a team midget football last year, and that team had audibles. i wonder why an nfl team, with the top athletes in the world, wouldnt have the power to audible out of a play that they know is doomed to fail, right from the beginning? is al saunders that egotistical that he thinks his plays will work no matter what defense is being used?

It's been pretty well documented, here's some chatter from a Chiefs board when Saunders was there.

All scheme, no adjustments. The fact this offense has no audibles is Exhibit A that Saunders is just like Mike Martz...arrogant.

Read something by Lombardi, Allen, Baugh, Jurgensen....Cooke....about the traditional system. NO AUDIBLES. Look at Gibbs at San Diego State and Tampa Bay. NO AUDIBLES. Gibbs allowed Ramsey to audible 2 years ago....jog your memory and do your history before you spew nonsense.

of course the traditional system had no audibles. the defenses got set, and stayed in that formation. there was no moving around, and hardly any blitzing. the defenses of today are constantly moving around, and blitzing probably 50% of the time. audibles are needed in todays game. and if you think this is nonsense, watch yesterdays game tape, and see how many plays were run directly into the teeth of the defense. im not about nonsense, im about results. and so far, the results i see out of our redskins arent favorable
