He's the H Back, not a true TE.

They use him in the passing game like the TE though. He only works out of the backfield on occasion. He usually motions out of it. He is our good TE.

In Gibbs offense, they're isn't a need for a "Tony Gonzales"....the pass catcher,in other words, is the H-Back. While the TE is primarly used for pass protection and run-blocking. (in a perfect world)

I guess I should have added the winking smiley to the end of my statement, but I was kind of joking during that post. I know he pretty much plays the role of the TE, but a lot of people were complaining about Robert Royal and saying that we needed a TE. People were saying that we should have drafted Heath Miller because Cooley's an H Back. It was a joke, I know his role in the O.

i,m liking what the skins are doing to improve their offense.this will indeed help their cause.

hard to beatan experienced staff.

I must admit I was convinced that all we needed was another deep threat wide receiver - which we still do need. But man....this is an AWESOME move! This will only further the Joe Gibbs concepts on offense, except make it more explosive! Get ready for greatness guys! The team with the top five offense and defense is coming to town in '06!

I didn't see that one coming, WOW... I'm really excited now.. I got the Superfan package on NFL Sunday Ticket so I have 13 of the Redskins games from this season on TIVO from the 'Short Cuts' they did of each game (30 minutes, every play with minimal replays) so I will be watching that game over tonight..

From a playcalling standpoint, I hope Saunders brings us a good screen game as well as a decent mid range passing game across the middle of the field..

Love that idea

Musgrave is the QB coach, he never was the OC despite what people may have thought.

True. But I just think someone has to go. And maybe it will be Musgrave. I still think Breaux is the most likely candidate

The WP finally got an article posted about the Saunders hiring and it says all coaches are likely to stay on.

[jdlea]

That means someone will be fired in the next ten minutes...

I wouldn't put it past Danny boy to fire someone just to spite the WP. "Heads down! Heads down! Snyder is out to get the WP by firing someone's ass." yells Joe Gibbs as he runs through Redskins park.
