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

[QUOTE=Grim21Reaper;250037]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?[/QUOTE]



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.

[quote=dmek25;250071]the timing is kind of strange. i wonder why coach took so long to do this?[/quote]


Well, let me ask you this...why did it take coach so long to sit Brunell?

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

It remains to be seen what effect Gibbs's venting will have because I have a feeling it may be a little late for that at this point, despite the fact it was neccessary.

What I want to see for the remainder of the season is who's going to be there now that we don't have a postseason berth to look foreward to. These next six games will determine who want's to be here, and who will be someplace else next season. I'm going to be looking for those anxious to miss time with various excuses, as opposed to those who are going to be a fight to the very end. These last six games will determine, and seperate the warriors from the slackers.

if he could've only lost his temper after we eked out a win against the Jaguars, then we'd be in decent shape now. Too late Joe, but better late than never. How about you follow up this temper tantrum with a few cuts...starting with Renaldo Wynn.

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

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.

I honestly think snyder had something to do with that...I don't believe this was a joe gibbs decision.

Well, I think he should have started with the ass-chewing right after the sleep-walking we saw against Minnesota on opening night. That performance was a direct carryover from the preseason -- it's like they still thought they were still playing an exhibition game. As much as everyone says the first game doesn't mean anything in terms of the season as a whole, it sure did set a tone.

But theyll NEVER cut Renaldo Wynn. Remember, [I]he's such a great leader[/I]. It's absurd. I agree though, a cut or two might just entice them to kick it up a notch.

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

Well, it's now Friday afternoon and watching Gibbs Friday presser he still looks pissed. If these fatasses are ever going to play hard for him it better be Sunday. If they don't show up against Carolina, he should think about giving it up. To my knowledge, this is the first time [I]Grandpa[/I] Gibbs has unloaded in this way. IF they DO respond, which has always been the case before (in the 80s), the Panthers will be like lambs to the slaughter. It will be a massacre of Old Testament proportions. Wrath of God stuff.

If I had any money, I would bet it all on Washington, now.
