Gibbs to give up playcalling

[GoSkins!]

How will the offensive linemen feel about the Saunders philosophey? They seemed to be doing well before the Thomas injury with the smash mouth approach.

any OL should be thrilled, saunders likes to run and he's had very very good running games.

the colts are going to implode next year shouldn't they have some defensive free agents too? they should have kept marcus washington good thing for us they didn't!

hard to believe he has not called plays before this. i wonder how this will affect his work as a coach. there is certainly a learning curve for it. interesting

Does this mean Len Pastabelly will be proved right? Pasta's view has been that the skins won't get to the Super Bowl with Gibbs calling the offensive plays. Now, we can expect a "see, I told you so" piece from Pasta. Though, if Saunders playcalling is what leads us to the big game, I won't care.

This is kind of a moot discussion anyway since Burns and Breaux were the ones responsible for alot of the playcalling. Pastabelly will never be right about anything.

Trent Green is actually older than Brunell if you can believe it, Saunders doesn't seem to have a problem with old assed QB's.

Trent Green was born in 1970, so he's 35.

Do you forget our win in wk2 in Dallas?

Who's got an arm? Mark Brunell. He's smart, accurate and he used to throwing alot. The biggest advancement will be in the running game. By Saunders being overtly aggressive we'll see Portis make the Pro Bowl. Let's just hope we can move into the playoffs again next season. Killed me today to see the Panthers roll over for the Seahawks. Bet if we were playing either team today we win! Shouldacouldwoulda. Gotta hand it to those PC Seattle fans. Shit was loud. We gotta bring it next season at home. LOUDER than LOUD!!!

LUX, I don't see how we would have beaten the Seahawks yesterday? Do you really think our offense would have moved the ball at all?

I don't think so with Brunell behind center, the only team we would have beat was Carolina, and that game would have been close.

He's very accurate but he's never been known for having a great arm.
