Re: Gibbs Press Conference:

One of the things Gbbs said when asked about the offseason changes to the decision making structure, especially about Al Saunders:
"You can't go back in life... we put a lot of thought into that... sometimes in life you don't get what you want... but to me, you can't go back. I think those decisions were made the right way; they were made for the right reasons..."
He does say around this part that he thinks Al can "help" the team, but it sure seems vague and not like a vote of confidence to me.

Doesn't it mean something very significant that he didn't say it was the right decision to have Saunders make the play calls... only that the decision was made the right WAY, and for the right REASONS; but he didn't say it was RIGHT. Big difference!!
Thoughts?

Deciphering his quotes are like reading tea leaves. I don't know how they can blame Al when they gave him a QB who can't throw the ball. Give him Trent Green, then decide if it is his fault.

Green and Brunell are the same damn player. One just has a concussion. And the other throws with his left hand. But not in a Jake Plummer sort of way.

That's the most viciously I have ever heard Gibbs assess anyone! Not good....

I really didn't get that from his press confrence but I may not have picked up on it either, but all I can say is if Gibbs is knocking Saunders after the way the offense has performed over the last 2 years I have to laugh, he must think it's still 91' We barely made the playoffs and the fact that we did had nothing to do with our offense it was our defense that kept us in games and then carried us into the playoffs and into the second round.

Gibbs just can't admit his rolex is fake.

We finished the season last year scoring 24, 17, 35, 35, and 31 points. We had problems on offense, sure, but I think Santana Moss and Clinton Portis played at least a small role our run to the playoffs.
