Daseal's take on the game!

[Daseal]

I know what you guys are expecting, but you may be suprised.

I've been a Gibbs basher for a while now. Even after the win in game 1 I thought there was a lot of work left to do, and obviously there was a lot of work to do. I've been very vocal in his piss poor clock management and playcalling decesions over the last few games. The game against the Ravens Gibbs did everything in his power. This game goes soley on the shoulders of Mark Brunnel. I've seen enough and want to see a quarterback with an arm. Let's cut our losses and cut Brunell after the season.

The offensive line has been horrible as of late. Well, not horrible. They've done an excellent job in pass-protection, but the run blocking could be performed better by the tinyest groom and his 4 midget brothers. They get run over by the front 4. I know we don't exactly have the most atheletic guys in Ray Brown and Kenyatta Jones, but we have talent on the O line. I'm not knowledgable enough to know if this is on Bugel or if it's simply players not doing their job. But something isn't happening.

That brings me to Portis. I don't think he's a "system back" but I certainly think Denvers system made him look amazing. I think Gibbs needs to adapt his system for Clinton and his strengths. He's put the ball on the ground which has killed us, and I hope to see him cease that yet. It's too early to say what will happen with him.

Our receivers. I've been impressed with Gardner. He's dropped some balls, but not near the amount Coles has. Gardner has also made a few amazing catches, as has Coles. I'd like to see Jacobs, Trash, and McCants get some more play time. Let our receivers block up field and let other receivers (Jacobs/Coles) use their speed to break away. We need to do anything we can to let our playmakers get into the open field.

Chris Cooley has a great attitude and has played well so far this season, especially for a rookie. I'd like to see us throw more balls his way.

Defense: GREAT JOB! Even through injury we stay strong. Nothing can be said about this group of guys. If we had the defense we had last year, it would be a scary, scary proposition.

Just my two cents.
I will say one thing. We had more rushing yards this time last year. Which is somewhat scary under a Spurrier (my boy!) offense.
I'm not saying I don't love Joe Gibbs, and I think he'll turn it around. It will just take time, just like it would have taken Spurrier time. Remember. At least Gibbs had coached NFL before. Spurrier was making a larger leap!
