Re: Breakdown: Redskins-Eagles
 

[quote=GTripp0012;378348]I don't like Al Saunders as a play caller at all. With that said, he does it his way, and we've seen his way work in the past, so I'm not going to go out and say that he needs to be fired or anything.

If I was in charge, I'd do it differently. That doesn't make his way wrong, just in my opinion, more difficult.

I think he's called two pretty solid games in a row, but that's the nature of all play calling. You call some good games, you call some bad games. The overall effect of a play caller in the long run is pretty much null.[/quote]

If Gibbs were not here do you honestly think he would call the game the way he does? Cause this is nothing like what I saw in KC. It was a very up tempo, in and out of the huddle very quickly, vertical passing game. Alot of 3, 4 and 5 wr sets. Protection and time of possesion is not as important to Sanders as is scoring points. He's always on the attack. Personally I like it if you have the O-line to do it. And I know we would not see the jumbo stuff on the goaline!!!!

Ever heard of Jason Dunn? That's the reason that you have. We also motion every freakin play, which Gibbs never did.

It's pretty obviously Saunders' offense these days.

[QUOTE=skinsfan69;378622]Very nice breakdown. There are alot of reasons we lost this game. But let's also give The Eagles some credit too. Let's not forget they had alot riding on this game as well. Let's not forget that they are a good team too. We always tend to say what we did wrong instead of giving the other team credit. I'm not saying we didn't help them cause we did. But they did make some plays at the end to win the game.[/QUOTE]I agree 100%. Philly played a great game the whole way through (QB play aside), and eventually our luck ran out.

Unfortunately this thread hasn't generated very good discussion so far because everyone is too busy showering GTripp with praise. I am not going to help things.

GTripp, that's probably the best post of the year, imho.
