Will Gibbs Open Up the Offense Now?

Neither quarterback was going to look good throwing 3 yard passes.

You hit the nail on the head. Every one wants to argue about the wich QB is worse, but the fact of the matter is that it's not the QBs that look bad. It's because they never take any good shots down field. And when you never stretch the field, it allows the defense to keep every thing right in front of them and even stack the line of scrimmage. Wich means no running game, and more pressure on the QB.

I hope this would convince Coach to open it up, and I believe it will. I think this WILL launch us into the regular season, and our team will perform much better because now they are united and gained a lot of confidence with that miricle win.

Brunell's mobility is also also a added bonus.

I would also like to see them get another Wide Reciever and use some spread formations so Clinton can have more instant lanes to run. If they pass in a spread formation, that will back DBs off, and it will spread the defense out. And when the run out of that formation, Clinton will be able to use his best attributes to our advantage, wich is his speed, shiftiness, and vision. He's not a grinder, he's a speedster. You can't use that amazing speed grinding between the tackles.

The offense definately needs to be opened up more.
