Re: Al Saunders on the way out?

It's not always the schemes.

C. Portis was injurred last year.

Two O-Linemen out for the year this year. Played a rook FA and a re-tread wannabe.

HOF Coach Gibbs did not switch to Campbell until late last year so we had Brunnell, and we know how that went!

We have such short memories.

Not excuses, but simply sound reasons for lack of productivity.

On top of that:

His complex system apparently takes awhile to learn. So you have to give him a pass for year one.

JC obviously doesn't know the system well enough yet (as TC most certainly DOES), and TC simply doesn't have the talent to be elite, even if he knows what he is doing in the Offense. So you have to give him a pass for year two.

I will agree that he has not proved himself yet, but Im sorry Matty there is very little evidence in the way of grounds to dismiss him. If you consider what has held this team back Offensively the past two years, there is little to prove that it has been the result of Saunders or his system. With the effectiveness of his offensive scheme in the past I think it would be down right foolish to let him go without giving him a legitimate shot at producing what he is expected to.

Not to say that you are calling for his head. I understand that you were simply saying that you wouldn't be surprised if Danny felt this way and canned him for it. But I wholeheartedly disagree, if Snyder gave him the boot I think most people would be both surprised and disappointed.
