Looking at the current set up, I think these guys four will be more on page than last year's crew with all of it's experience.

I agree. Seems like a good setup and a smooth transition. The staff under Gibbs seemed to be splintered at times.

But is it all that different really? I mean under Gibbs there was a delineation between the running game and the passing game with Gibbs overseeing the running game and Saunders the passing game, correct?

I don't have the exact quote but I'm almost positive that Zorn said as recently as last week that the running game would be left in Bugel's hands so that he (Zorn) could focus on the passing game.

As for what role exactly Sherman Smith and Stump Mitchell have. Wolfe got it right. Sherm will take the lead on installing the gameplan for the offense during the week leading up to the game (Zorn will call plays on gameday) and Stump will actually work with the running backs themselves.

I think there is a difference though. Gibbs and Saunders never played ball together and , to the best of my knowledge, never coached together. I know they fell from the same tree or whatever, but...

From what I've read, Zorn and his crew have been around each other on and off the field for years. That's a huge difference if you ask me. They really do have a feel for one another and each other's thought process.

I agree... something about Gibbs and Saunders never clicked like it should have. There seems to be better chemistry among Zorn and his right hand men on offense.

True, Zorn and Sherm played together and Zorn and Stump coached together. Good point.
