Al's playcalling is way to c0onservative, maybe joe influences that too but still, we did not need a new playbook... our recievers arent exactly the fun bunch but they could play similar in GIBBS offense....

my personal opinion is your way off base. these plays being called are NOT al Saunders plays. some may be, but big JOE is a HEAVY influence on the game plan and how Al calls the game. Als offense has worked everywhere. remember the greatest show on turf?? remember KC and the 32 points a game they put up for about 4 years straight?? those were all Als offenses. My thing is i think coach JOE is so worried about turn overs and crap that he is scared to really let Al call the plays. Last year was a normal 1st year for an Al Saunders offense. If you go back and look at the stats from his 1st years in St Louis and KC, you will see they were mid to bottom 20's in the NFL. The second year they went up about 10 spots to close to top 10. then of course the 3rd and following years they were always top 3 or 5 in total offense. I just think Joe is not allowing all to open it up so to speak. these guys have been here 2 years w/ al, I think its about time to see what the big O can do.
