Our staff already has some fiery coaches. Williams, Lindsey, and Saunders, are all guys that bark and get on their players. In the end things like pep talks and yelling and screaming only goes so far.

If an employee at any job wasnt up to par in their duties and was constantly being told he had better do a better job or else but no repercussions came from it 9 times outta 10 that person would continue to do half assed work because he knows he can get away with it. But if the CEO,president whatever the case may be came in and said look ya slack bastard do your job right or your will be demoted,fired,etc... It may change their tune.

We're making the assumption though that Gibbs is the same way behind closed doors. Just because he's not punching podiums a la Dennis Green during press conferences doesn't mean he's not getting in players' faces at practice and in the locker room.

I agree. I think Gibbs is fiery behind the scenes based on stories that appeared in the paper throughout his career.

Now, I would like to see the players such as Mark Brunell be fired up during the game. I think that would inspire his teammates. With no Skins game yesterday, I watched Michael Vick play. He really was into the game yesterday. And, he led his team to victory against a 4-2 Bengals team at home. The QB needs to be a leader, not someone who goes through the motions.

You are right. Just assumptions. But it would be nice (dont have to see it) but to at least hear about some ass chewings. I mean from anyone,Saunders,Gibbs,Snyder even.

Why not JC?
Romo has been in the same system for 4 years. Campbell is in a different for his 7th consecutive year(including 5 years at Auburn).

Yes and that boss would probably do that behind closed doors. We do not know what goes on after or before games so how can one assume your stance.

No one said anything about the Fox5 report whether Gibbs is limiting AS to only some plays from his playbook. I believe it because all I've seen from the redskins this season is the same old dinks and dunks for short gains. I am a firm beliver that once your offense starts clicking your D just plays better for some reason. I think if the offense could do something the Redskins D is actaully a solid one, I think they are on the fields for too long. That same Fox5 report said that this might be the last season for Gibbs as a head coach of the Redskins pending the outcome at the end of the season.

I'd say if Brunell comes out playing like crap in this game I'd make the switch. And with as well as he's played this year, normally you have to take a bad game every once in a while because nobody is perfect. But because it's Dallas, and because our backs are up against the wall, Brunell needs to continue to play at a high level, or they should make the switch mid game.

Now, if the switch is made, and Campbell struggles (or worse), I'd go back to Brunell for the road series, allow JC to regain his confidence, and give him his first career start in week 12.

But at home vs our division rival, I think MB will play pretty well. If he plays his game and the D shows any improvement whatsoever, we will walk away with a much needed W.

Since we haven't seen 700 pages worth of plays, I'd say you're a dead-on genius about Gibbs limiting Saunders' playbook.

Our defense and offense are not helping each other, the Skins inconsistent offense has led to our defense being asked to do too much and the defense's inability to force turnovers has led to our offense being asked to generate too many long drives to score points. Its a chicken and egg argument with me, but we clearly need one unit to give us a spark and carry us and so far they've both underdelivered.

How Romo and Brunell each perform on Sunday will have a lot to do with when JC sees game action. If Romo outplays Brunell, then maybe he'll consider working JC into the gameplan. If Romo craps the bed, then JC will remain in mothballs, right next to David Patten, corner blitzes, TJ Duckett, and 690 pages of Saunders' playbook.

Re: ROMO??? Why not JC???

Ok the reason I belive JC isn't starting yet it's that Gibbs just doesn't think he's ready or Campbell hasn't showed him in practice he manages this system (hey Brunnel doesn't either but still).

As 1 pointed out Campbell didn't show a lot in preseason against backups maybe his just 2 green.

Campbell is very green. But there's only one way to make him less green: Let him play! Preferrably ASAP.

Campbell and Romo are very similiar -- Campbell just has a better arm.
The differences between Romo and Campbell are as follows:

Romo looked good in preseason, Campbell didn't
Romo has been in the league 4 years, Campbell just two
Romo gets rid of the ball early, Campbell doesnt

Tough to compare these two guys, Romo is much better prepared
