Q: Do you expect to see more stretch running plays in the ground game this year?
A: "You know, coach just made a point where we averaged five yards a carry on a stretch play last year. If I had known that, that would have been the only call we would have been making in the games. I think we are changing a lot of things up. We are going to get this right. We are tweaking things."

Interesting stat there, 5.0 yards per carry on stretch plays. There's some reason for optimism right there, Gibbs has stated that he wants to see more stretch plays in the offense!
