It's true what TAFKAS says. I think the Al Saunders offense might closely resemble the first offense Gibbs tried to run in 1981, before he discovered Riggins and the Hogs. I was young then but I do remember Terry Metcalfe being featured prominently in the first few games. According to the press guide, someone named Melvin Jones started 10 games at Right Guard. Ricky Thompson started 5 at WR. Thompson was a fan favorite.

The point I would make is that the Redskins may still need a week or two to find a consistent way to produce on offense. There are pieces there, but they need to find a blend that works week in and week out. I think one thing they should stress is finding a way to Get Brunell comfortable from the get go. When he is out of sorts he mostly stays that way and vice-versa. I would also like to see them roll the pocket more. I don't mean bootlegs. I'm talking about what they use to call "dash plays" when Theismann was QB. This gives Brunell a chance to survey the field and it prevents the rushers from charging to a single spot.

At any rate, they need to come out blazing after their bye week to have a decent shot at making something of this season.
