Saunders Quote in ESPN article

[B.F. SKINner]

An obvious question this week has been how much the offense will
change now that it's being run by a younger, more mobile
quarterback with a stronger arm. Assistant coach Saunders, who
calls the plays, said he'll "go in a different direction" with
parts of the game plan. But the coach also said he has yet to fully
implement the schemes that worked so well for him in Kansas City.

"We've not tapped into a lot of things," Saunders said. "It's
not the quarterback; it's the other 10 players. It's the whole
system that has to be developed at a higher level before we can go
to the next step."

He has yet to fully implement the schemes that worked so well in K.C.?? What is going on here? Joe Gibbs was quoted earlier in the season as saying that he was surprised that players were taking so long to learn and adapt to the offense. If this was supposed to be a superbowl run this year, and all indications suggest that is the case, how can this have happened? Was there a fundamental communication breakdown between Gibbs and Saunders and their expectations going into this year? Is there something else happening with some of our offensive players that we don't know?

I think it was the players and the fans who said that, not the coaches.

At the beginning of training camp Mark Brunell said anything short of a Super Bowl berth would be a disappointment for this season.
So, screw the FO for bringing in a new offensive coordinator to completely overhaul the entire offense. Thanks for wasting yet another season guys.

the front office?? this was Gibbs decision to bring Saunders in. He felt it would be better for the offense. I guess 11th in the NFL last season, 6 straight wins playing Redskin football wasn't good enough

Do you truly believe that it is outrageous to still be struggling to resurrect a francise that was allowed to degenerate into complete disarray for the past dozen years or so? To complete a task that 6 or so other head coaches have failed to do in that time frame with this team?

What else would MB say? As a player that should be your mind set every year and as a team who made it to the second level in the post season that should be the expectations.

How many Lombardi's do you have? So what MB said, in what august? Yes, this season is a disappointment to me. However, I'll leave you with some choices here: what?

a. you embrace and realize your cowboy persuasion
b. towel boy it for Gibbs, Bubba, DS, DD(look out)....
c. tell the team AS wasted another year with AS here



take your pick

Hail

Life is long for those who want it, cheerish it, love it, and God bless live it!
Hail the REDSKINS(you and I.)

Stop blaming the FO. Bringing in Saunders was a decision Gibbs made, pure and simple.

It seems like it all come down the the O-line with this offense, once they come around, everything should work itself out

Collins said this offense would take an entire year to fully master. Looks like he was telling the truth.

And with a QB change, it might be even longer.

he's lookig at the BIG picture....if campbell could play THAT well, he woulda been playing already, right? logical concern but, with Gibbs' affinity for verterans it may prove otherwise....

HTTR!
