I was probably just as elated as the rest of you all when I heard we hired Saunders. However, when I heard Brunell say that "at my age" bringing his 700 page play book "stinks!" I started to wonder about this genisis we are embarking on. Forget about the playoffs....Saunders has screwed us. I do not see any mastery that he was supposed to bring here. Gibbs play calling was just as remarkable last year(playoffs) as it was when he won 3 SB's and at San Diego State too. I said when I saw Saunders calls the plays from upstairs that this is caca. You can not get the feel of your players unless you are on the sideline with them. I do not know what to suggest other than Gibbs and Saunders compare their play books and shrink it down to realistic size. I'm sure that Gibbs did not override Saunders in the middle of the game. However if Saunders brings nothing more to the table than what we've seen, let Gibbs call the plays.
