H-back Position Disappearing ?

[dirthogs311]

I dont think it will be a complete offensive overhaul. If theres anything we dont need its that. We dont really want that. The system could have got us to the Super Bowl last year, but we ran out of gas and we ran out of WR's in the end. There will still be some Gibbs plays. He is the head coach, if he doesnt like the play he will overule it and change it to whatever he wants. I think we will see a slow transition from Gibbs offense to Saunders', until Gibbs retires when Saunders will have total control and Williams is the head coach.

From just the simple reason that there will be no h-back, says to me that gibbs won't be able to overrule anything because Saunders will have complete control. Why the h-back reason ? Simply because they took away the one position that was the trademark of a gibbs offense- and how would he know more about Saunders's offense than Saunders (to overrule him) ?

I'm not saying this is a bad thing or it's going to be major transition/change (a bad choice of words earlier). But I don't think it's going to be a slow transition; it's Saunders's offense now.

I think there would be some Gibbs plays, if Saunders allows it or it happens to be in Saunders's playbook.

But I'm wondering: how can Gibbs really add plays or call plays without an h-back ?
