Will Gibbs Open Up the Offense Now?

[illdefined]

you know what, frankly i can't tell if its Gibb's (Jack Burns) playcalling or Brunell's absolute fear of throwing downfield unless there 20ft of separation or its late in the 4th quarter. i refuse to believe that Portis and the short routes are the first reads in the plays given to him.

Obviously I don't think that the first read is always a dump off to Portis or anything, but I have seen too many 2 yard hitches. I agree with the fact that with our D we don't need to run the no-huddle shotgun or anything, but we need to take our shots downfield just to keep the defenses honest and to actually put up some points.
