Speaking of predictable playcalling...

With the Giants sliding into oblivion for the second straight season, it sure looks like (Offensive Coordinator John) Hufnagel is being set up as the first scapegoat of the season. Tight end Jeremy Shockey thinks his red-zone play calling is predictable. Barber called his offensive scheme "routine." Amani Toomer said it sure seemed like the Redskins defense knew what was coming on Sunday. Several other offensive players agree.

More on Gibbs' Playcalling

From NFL.com's Tuesday Morning Quarterback: http://www.nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/7973142

Quote:
To start his return season, Professor Dumbledore (Joe Gibbs) had the Redskins run the same plays as in the team's 1980s golden years. In the opener against City of Tampa, rushing plays involved lots of pulls and traps; the old counter-deuce and counter-trey, where two or three offside linemen pulled in unison, resurfaced. In the opener, Clinton Portis ran for 148 yards and Washington won. But then the Skins lost and Portis looked blah in Week 2. The Redskins abandoned their old golden-days plays and went to the sort of quick cut-blocks that Portis ran behind at Denver. Week in, week out, the whole team has looked blah using rushing actions that aren't the favorites of Gibbs and his braintrust. Sunday, the Redskins returned to their old system -- lots of wide plays with line pulls, including the counter-trey, and Portis again ran for 148 yards in a Washington win. Coach Gibbs, just use your old system! Nobody could stop it 20 years ago, and rest assured, players haven't gotten any smarter since then.
