Re: Sticking With The Old ?
Everyone forgets why Saunders was brought in here in the first place, and that is because Gibbs offense was inept, any team who has a smart D-coordinator could shut us down last season, just look how we finished the season it was the defense carring the offense. Would we be better this year if we kept Clark? Tough to say, but I will say we would be better at the saftey position, to many injuries on defense to really say if the D could carry the offense again.
Kind of funny that Gibbs who was known as an inovator and an offensive genious his first go round, and Al Saunders who is regarded as the best in the buisness when it comes to offense can do nothing, maybe Gibbs isn't that out of touch with his offensive mind, maybe all our offensive woe's lie in the fact that Gibbs is out of his mind for sticking with Brunell, but we really will never know because when it comes to the position that can make the biggest impact to a football team Gibbs refuses to make a change to see if that may be the problem. Gibbs is reserved to the fact that the rest of the team is the problem not Brunell, at the very least make a switch and I don't mean Collins, Gibbs utter distain for benching Brunell couldn't be more evident than this past sunday when the game was over his refusal to put a gimpy Brunell on the sideline and allow Campbell to get some reps and a feel for game speed in the NFL. It kind of reminds me of his hurried benching of Ramsey last season as if Gibbs is horrified someone else will step in and out play Brunell leaving him with no choice but to keep Brunell on the bench.
Now I know that may seem like Gibbs would rather play Brunell than win, but I digress, I believe he feels he can win he just wants it to be with Brunell and I will give my reasoning for this.
First off it's his first big personel decision for Gibbs the GM, or as I like to call him GM Joe, then as we know and saw first hand at his press confrence he is very considerate towards certain people, like the fans seeing the bus off at redskin park, Brunell was promised the starters job to come here and Gibbs will do just about anything to keep his word, but with that I do believe Gibbs believes he will win with Brunell, and that is where the delusion comes in, HE WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH BRUNELL!
Now we have 2 weeks to prepare for the Boys and guess what? we will be the same team in 2 weeks that we were against the Titans and the Colts, with Campbell losing much needed time with the first team, as well as he lost what could have been a world of experience in the 4th quarter of the Colt game. Not to worry though Brunell will eventually become the QB that Gibbs knows he traded for.
But the excuses are running out, I don't want to here about the line, they may not be the hogs of the 80's but they are adequet, how many QB's have all day to throw anyway? Brunell had a ton of time against the Titans and did nothing. It's not the WR's, how many teams have a better recieving core than us? We apparently have one of the top backs in the NFL and according to some in the history of the game, a tremendous TE and H-back, I can't help but think that the problem lies else where, and theres only one other position left to blame.
Perhaps Gibbs will not forget to wave to the fans in the parking lot in 2 weeks and we will beat the Boy's, but Gibbs is quickly becoming the Jimmy Carter of the NFL.
