I do agree with you Gabe1984. We ran a lot to help a first year starter in this complex offense. I just think that we have to take our bumps and bruises and should have let him learn on the fly instead of protecting him. Just as Clinton Portis says every qb is going to throw interceptions. Eventually this offense is going to be very explosive only when Joe Gibbs leaves the playcalling to Al Saunders.
As far as the personnel issue I have I just want Gibbs to leave the offense to Saunders and let him pick the players he would like to run the offense. I guarantee that Saunders did not want Brunell to be the quarterback of this offense. I believe that he wanted Collins to start and for Campbell to learn but it totally did not play out like that. As far as why there was no paragraphs I was just frustrated and did not want to take time and do that. I just wanted to vent my anger as to how things are within the Redskins organization.
Well it would be one thing if Al Saunders could just dump our current offensive line and just go sign all of his guys from KC. But he can't because of the salary cap. It's just not realistic. You can't just bring in a 5-wide, air it out, run on the edges, throw screen passes offensive philosophy to a team that is built for power running.

Gibbs admitted he underestimated the difference in offensive philosophies between him and Saunders. With hindsight being 20/20, Gibbs has all but admitted that bringing in Saunders was a mistake.
