They need to let Saunders go after the season and go back to Gibbs football

Gibbs football? Do you forget how terrible our offense was last year? The only reason they won half the games was the defense. We were lucky to put up 14 points a game last year.

Actually they put up 22.4 points per game last year.

This year they're at 18.2.

People always want to focus on the last few games, well what about the entire season? 11th ranked O, team records set in rushing and receiving, 5 games over 30 points, the offense wasn't too bad at all until injuries took their toll right at the end.

I'll be evaluating Saunders on two points the rest of the way.

1. What does our running game look like without Portis? Can we "system run" or are we reliant on a superstar to gain yards?

2. Can we be a more vertical offense consistently with Campbell or is Saunders so married to his finesse stuff that even a strong armed kid that can throw the ball through a block wall gets hamstrung?

I guess what it comes down to is production. I want to see improvement in terms of production.

Matty is right. Last years offense was starting to bloom when, Thomas broke his leg and then Brunell was the hurt the next game. The Thomas thing really killed us. The running game was never the same.
