there are a couple of things to look at. Gibbs offense was 11th, but did faulter when our 2nd option at WR went down with injury (patton) The reason we were able to win was the D. we played a style of gibbs offense which put the ball in Portis hands and let the Oline beat people up. Again, our D kept us alive in those games. 2ndly, Gibbs offense produced a very potent offense when he was here the first time. once having 3 1000 yard receivers. I do think if gibbs had kept control with the addtion of 1 or the 2 guys we picked up this year we would have been better this year. keeping the same scheme in tact would have been best.
bringing in Sauders : statistically, his offense is not that good in the first year. he generall is in the middle to bottom in the first year. Brunell didn't help that situation. What needs to be addressed is the fact the O-line is best equiped to run a Gibbs style offense. When they took over last year they attacked the defense, and ran smash mouth. that is what they are best at. if you keep changing offensive shcemes year to year we as fans can not expect it to be a finely tuned machine. Now if Saunders is still on board next year, we should see an increase in the ranking and overall productivety.

in short. I agree Gibbs should have never given control of HIS offense to anyone.
