George Michael reported that Gibbs FINALLY lost his cool and went off today

Any offense has to have balance. Right now we are not effective running the ball. So to completely go to the running game is a mistake.

Its about time Gibbs laid into these guys. Let's see if we can get this thing turned around, or at least headed in the right direction. Sunday will be a good test.

They haven't committed to the run for a whole game. They certainly haven't executed a power running game plan.

What has frustrated me is that Duckett has shown signs that he could be effective for us. They have just refused to give him carries. I would like to to see what he could do if he was featured. What do we have to lose?

I too have been frustrated as to why we don't see more of Duckett. I'm not convinced he'd do well as the featured back because of the teams lack of faith in his blocking. Saunders also likes backs who operate well in space, can catch, block, as well as run. I'm not so sure Duckett fits all the criteria of a featured back, but he can be effective in short yardage when that is the only objective.

It's nice to finally see a little fire in this team - hopefully it will translate into better execution on game day.

Nothing is more frustrating than a team that is losing badly and doesn't seem to care. Joking around on the sidelines and stupid cliche comments at press conferences get really old.
