Gibbs I offense was run n gun if you will. An emphasis on the running game combined with a nice vertical passing game to complement it. I don't give Gibbs much slack since his offense is nothing like Gibbs I. We have all the tools to make another go with the Gibbs I type offense, but just don't do it. Last couple years the problem was supposedly the noodle arm of MB, now we see it is a bigger more fundamental problem in the play calling area, along with just poor play on the part of the WR Corp. I don't give Gibbs much slack BECAUSE OF WHAT I REMEMBER OF GIBBS I, not because I don't remember it!!! Hard nosed running combined with a potent vertical passing attack gave us the most potent offense of the early to mid 80's. WE only see a hollow shell of it today. Gibbs I spoiled us to be honest, but even so, what is going on recently with the offense is disgusting. No 100 yard game for CP yet( Did he hit 100 against Miami?) and the last game JC didn't even hit 100 yards passing, and against a weaker team. Something is not fundamentally right in Redksins Park.
