The Effect of Al Saunders in his First Season

[MightyJoeGibbs]

I came across some cool pictures I found from Redskins.com. I like knowing that we have a cordinator who is passionate and displays emotion into, getting his guys to buy into it. I've heard of Saunders chasing his players down field have a look.

I firmly believe that our offense is going to be overwhelming this season, these guys have been stuck in the mud with simplistic schemes for 2 years and some longer than that, the talent level even last year was far better than thier production, this season it will all come together, Our offense is going to be a monster and I believe it will start in game one. And Saunders will be the reason!

I think that even without Saunders, our offense was really going to be special this year. Last year the O made good progress but still needed some players. Gibbs has a formula that works in December and that formula got us into the playoffs for the first time in years. With that said, Gibbs and Co. still needed another year to really figure out the better defenses in the NFL today. I think that in his third year he will have done that.

Saunders brings a proven system into the mix that should gel very well with Gibbs. Gibbs often spoke of conversations with Dick Vermile (sp?) and I bet they spoke of how well Saunders would be to work with. Saunders (and Williams for that matter) understand that Gibbs is a Hall of Fame coach that leads by example and expects nothing less than perfection.

Not only will Saunders get the best out of this offense, Gibbs will get the best out of Saunders!

I think you summed it up right there! Saunders will no doubt bring his offensive genius, but it will be Gibbs that is still navigating the ship.
It's possible that even Saunders can still learn a thing or two from a
Hall of Fame coach.

I agree, I thought we were headed towards an improved offense this year even without Saunders. We started seeing some nice improvements last year and the additions at WR this year would have really paid off.

That being said, the addition of Saunders is going to take this offense to an entirely different level.

No doubt. Watching the second Dallas and Giants game shows that are offense had the capability of putting together a worthy performance. Moss owning the Giants secondary and likewise with Cooley against the Dallas secondary.
