I wonder if Portis ran it at all in Denver?

I know he's said he's more comfortable running out of a single back set, so perhaps he's just not comfortable/familiar with the draw?

I remember reading that Burns and Breaux sit in the box up top and relay prospective playcalls, but Gibbs has final say. That article (from the WP early this season) also hinted that while Burns has been less involved in playcalling this year, he continues to provide input.

quarterback coach is his title description.
he must of helped with a few ideas but i truly think joe gibbs has that knack to put the right people in the right spots and lets them do what they do best.

I think Musgrave has had an influence on bringing some west coast flavor to the offense, but how much of an impact is debateable.

he pursuaded the shootgun to gibbs to use

Not only did Musgrave pursuade Gibbs to use the shot gun, again, but just think about the work load that Musgrave took off of Gibbs by being devoted to the QB's. I am sure that Gibbs asked Musgrave for imput, I mean how could he not. But by bringing Musgrave in to take care of the QB's that gives Gibbs more devoted time to game planning and he is not trying to help the QB's develope, where as that is Musgrave's job. I think that it was a smart move for Gibbs to do this, not only does it bring in "New Blood" with an offense perspective, but it takes some of the work load off of Gibbs...

Do you really think it's a coincedence that Brunell had great success at Jacksonville with Musgrave as QB coach, and then turns around his play this year with Musgrave back in his corner?? Also, watch when either Brunell or Ramsey come off of the field after a pick, TD, 4th down, time out, etc: They go right to Musgrave on the sideline to discuss the play. To measure "how much of an impact" he has had is impossible but I don't believe in "coincedences".
