It's official - Al Saunders is our new offensive coordinator!

I am I the only one that thinks that KC's offense is very similar to ours? I mean think about it, Cooley and Tony G. play similar rolls on the offense, both rely on a strong running game and play action passes. KC lined up in 2 TE sets, and single back formations, too. I think that we will see basicly Gibbs offense with new rinkles intellegently mixed in from Saunders.

no, you're right - that is what makes this such a good fit. they are similiar. saunders may have schemed a little differently and used different sets, but the philosophies are pretty much the same.

I'd say it is, but KC has definately been more successful recently, which of course makes this a killer signing.

I agree they have ben more successful, but I dont understand where people are saying things like "I wonder if Gibbs is going to totally conver to Saunders offense or hom much he will hold Saunders back." To me that is pretty much a moot point, philosphy wise it is the same offense...

I agree! It's the same basic philosophy and that is one the reasons why Saunders will fit in very nicely for us!
