Ken Whisenhunt is Cardinals new coach

i think gibbs still has the ability to get his team fired up and ready to play. we saw a glimps of it this past season when he, reportedly, held a team meeting and discussed how the team needed to return to playing redskins football. the team, offense especially, did show more improvement and more swagger after that meeting. gibbs was just to easy on this team, starting with training camp. i would imagine gibbs will be a lot tougher on them next season.

I beg to differ. Getting your team up after they are almost out of the playoffs is crisis management, in my opinion. He should have been talking Redskins football in training camp or after the Minny lost, not week 7,8 or 9.

I concede that the team showed improvement down the stretch, but that's has been the Skins' MO since Gibbs return. They get behind the eight ball, and they come back swinging. It seems like they only respond to adversity.

i understand what your saying. i just think gibbs waited too long to get on their tails. the team started strong in 05. i think all of them,players and coaches, came into this past season thinking they were better than what they really were. they didn't take training camp and the pre-season as serious as they should have.
