First of all, we often haven't given a 4WR set a chance, meaning we have no idea if it would work. It's on Gibbs if the receivers aren't catching it to put a McCants or a Jacobs in to cause a spark. Light a fire under Gardner and Coles. Gibbs also hasn't given them a ton of chances to go downfield and try for the ball. I'm not saying go for the homerun, but a 7-14 yard pass can really help. Especially if it's over the middle we know Ramsey can hit that fairly consistantly, because he did it last year. The fact is the safeties aren't going anywhere when we throw 20 screen passes in one game.

I love how everyone said OH PLAYCALLING IS AWFUL just weeks ago, yet I'm the only person brave enough to stand by my statement there. Last week, playcalling was great, I've admitted that and that's the reason for this thread. However, before that I feel most of the blame went on Gibbs. Why do you blame Spurrier for the line not blocking? I mean, had they executed Ramsey would have had plenty of time? Right? Oh? That argument doesn't make sense? Hrm. Why not?

Multiple WR sets were instrumental in our win over the Giants, and I feel they could have helped us win in previous weeks. I don't want it every down, I want a nice balance, 8 out of 10 balls our WRs were catching, so I don't buy that whole they couldn't catch a cold type attitude. Rod dropped some easy ones, but he's made the most spectacular and some clutch catches on our team.
