I don't know what there is to be optimistic about that article? Personally I thought it reeks of the same old none-sense, the only difference is the players are starting to become a little restless because they know what they are doing ain't gonna work, sounds like a respectful plea to gibbs to open up the offense and let them play, and his reply? We are going to shut it down even more with the running game, WONDERFUL!

Correct me him I am wrong, haven't we tried to run the ball all season? And hasn't it failed miserably? This commitment Gibbs is talking about, what would it be called the previous 7 games? Have players been faking it? Have the linemen been holding back on their blocks waiting to see how long it would take Gibbs to yell at them? Is it Halloween, or April fools? Sounds to me like things will only get worse if they truly think they are going to announce to the league we are going to open up the pass with the run, it's not like teams haven't been sitting on that game plan for 4 seasons. The fact is Gibbs ain't gonna like the result and all the 3 and outs that will accompany that strategy with this O-line.

He needs to open up the run with the pass with what he has on offense, now either he's blowing his usual smoke for the Jets, or he's officially lost it. This little meeting the players approached him with is going to be much bigger, and more vocal the next time, IMO the Caine Mutiny is on the horizon.

I just can't believe the players including Campbell, want to run the ball right now given how inept the running game has been?
