Re: Play calling by Gibbs and GW.
I have another question : Why in the hell do we continue to take LaVar out on 3rd down passing situations? Wynn and Daniels get absolutely no pass rush what so ever. They suck. When LaVar was used as a DE in those situations a few years ago he totalled 11 sacks. Clemons does a decent job at getting up field the majority of the time. Sit one of those two (wynn or Daniels) and put LaVAr in and let him get after the QB. Taking him out and not even letting him rush the passer is confusing. I believe he is our best pass rusher in those situations. Daniels and Wynn are pretty good at stuffing the run, but stink at getting any pressure on the QB. If we are going to send four guys, which at this point is probably best given our tendancy to give up big plays, put LaVar in there to create some kinda presence of a rush. Again, we are taking one of the playmakers on our team and putting him on the sideline when we need plays to be made. We can not continue to send LBs and CB and not expect to get beat.

Re: Play calling by Gibbs and GW.
First of all Gibbs doesn't call ALL of the plays. Thats why we have an Offensive Coordinator.
Second, you can't place the blame all on Gibbs. The players have to execute the plays that are called, and that didn't happen. I don't care who you are, or how good you are, but you're not going to win games by costly penalties, and turnovers. We started some good drives, but we shot ourselves in the foot. I will say this, it is Gibbs responsibility to have the players prepared and yesterday they weren't. Total lack of focus. |
