Why Doesn't "Gibbs' Football" Work for the Redskins?

Gotcha.
It was easy to hold Big Ben to fewer passes, they had an established run. If they had Favre he would have to hand the ball off too. They won conservative though, so I understand your point.
If the Skins had a top 5 rushing attack, and top 5 defense, we could bring back Rypien to win us a super bowl. But we don't on both...we need Campbell to step up...especially with the injuries to Thomas and Jansen.

You've actually helped me come up with a good question for Tony McGee for our next chat. Thanks!

What question is that?
