gane cast
was it just me or was gibbs calling a very conservitive game again. many many times last nite joey t said this was gibbs offensive. but correct me if i am wrong when we had both rypien and willaims at the helm we threw the ball deep. i can recall many games where both clark and sanders were on the recieving end of those passes. i understand that greg willaims WILL be our next coach but i think gibbs and offensive staff need to open up the play book this off season

They need to open it up right now. The season is officially over. Open it up, try crazy things! I'm not saying concede the season, but now's the time to evaluate talent and plays.

Guys, anytime Ramsey set up to look deep he had defenders in his face and knocking him on his arse. Check the tape, I counted several plays where Ramsey took a deep drop and looked down the field, he just wasn't getting the time to get the throw off.
That's been the story of the entire season, we just don't have a line that does a good enough job in pass protection. |

Smoot - our offensive gameplan hasn't exactly panned out for us. It's been okay, but why not try new things and evaluate talent in game situations before the begining of next season?

The Super Bowl years we had a great vertical game (Rypien got sacked like 11 tmes all year when he won)
Most of the other years it was exactly like sunday- take away 100+ yards of ...hell just take away 50 yards of penalties...and that is 2 field goals and that = a win I remember hating the 4th quarter cause Pettibone loved the prevent. |

On some of the plays he didn't have time to look deep, but he lost confidence in the line early so when he was blitzed later in the game even when we picked it up he rushed his throws. I'm not as down on Ramsey, he was ok but I'd like to see more guys get involved in the passing game, where was Gardner, Thrash or McCants? I think the problem is not that we lack playmakers, but we don't give the guys we've got a chance to make plays. That's the biggest problem I see with the offense, because we all know that these guys have talent it just hasn't equated to big plays so far this year.
Ramsey has definitely taken more shots than I'm used to seeing a Gibbs qb take. The line play has been uneven all year, I'm sure that's going to be an area addressed this offseason. |

Aren't you guys comparing Apples to Oranges? We did have more of a vertical game back in those days because look who our receivers were! I mean, I think Coles still has a chance to develop into a player like Gary Clark, but other than that, I have no idea about the other receivers' futures other than Cooley (which I know isn't a receiver.)

I think we need to take a long hard look at drafting a WR, possibly with out first rounder depending on who's available.
It's no secret we need playmakers on offense. Gardner is gone after next year and unless he turns in to Art Monk Jr. overnight we should gladly let him walk. |

I don't want to even think this really but if we lose Smoot (which I pray doesn't happen) then should we be looking at a guy like Antrell Rolle if he's around? Or should we look for secondary help via trade or free agency or later in the draft even?

Great Question! Ade Jimoh isnt the awnser if thats the case, although he will always be a warpath favorite. Walt Harris, maybe. I think if we draft a guy like Rolle, were gonna still be paying pretty high price. I'd rather have the proven commodity in Smoot, even if it is more expensive. Besides, we really cant afford to lose the locker room type leadership and personality that Smoot brings. I really hope we resign that guy and fast.
