Well, I don't know. Seeing as to how Tony has played for Gibbs and sat in his locker room. I figured I would listen to what he had to say.
And then there's
this
Gibbs is quick to point out that the ratio of running plays to passing plays is often predicated on game situations, with the score being the chief consideration. The Redskins trailed often in the first 10 games -- "I think you're going to get more runs when you have a lead," Gibbs said.
"Joe Gibbs wants his team to be physical," Williams said, "and you know what, every single meeting that Joe has in front of this team he talks about how we're going to win these physical battles. 'I don't care what else happens in this ballgame, we're going to be physical.' And it's nice to see us playing that way, especially at the end of the season. That's when it's time to be that way. Not to say it's not important all the time, but to be more and more and more and more physical as the year goes on, that's good."
