Maybe It's Not Just The O-Line

Looks to me like we're overloaded with wideouts anyway.

I'm here in agreement with your approach, but as we all know Gibbs does not share in our philosophy. He has a way of doing things that will forever reflect what made him successful. Gibbs won three SB's with the run oriented offense and it's going to be difficult for him to adopt any other avenue in an atempt to duplicate that success. I will never be one to say the way he desires to met his goals cannot be accomplished, but so far, with this team (the last five games of the 05 season being the exception) he has not been able to make it happen.
