Our offense was rolling over the last 5 games of the season when our receivers finally got healthy and were able to practice during the week, and also with a QB that had studied it for years.

Interestingly, our offense was ranked 13th in 2006 and 7th in 2007. I'm convinced we would have been a top 5 offense next year had we kept him.

Ce la vie. Thanks Al and Gregg for the outstanding job you guys did.

I thought your number on our O ranking looked wrong and i was surprised to learn that our O was ranked worse this yer than last.
2006: 13th
2007: 15th
We went backwards.

So I wonder who gets the job of moving AS 700 page play book.

It wasnt time it was Gibbs that kept the reins in on the O. IMO, Gibbs never really let AS do his thing. When Collins came in I think that was as close as Gibbs ever got to turning AS loose.

To be honest the whole Gibbs and AS thing just did not work. Our O went from 13th in 2006 to 15th in 2007 while AS was here.

It didnt work because Gibbs wouldnt let it work. He never trusted AS to run the O the way it should have been run.

Well I'm not a 100% sure that was the entire problem but I do know it was not working.

Where are you getting those numbers? In 2007 the offense was ranked 15th.
