Excuse me, Assistant Head Coach - Offense Joe, but you've been here for 4 seasons now and have had time to develop all the toughness and dedication you ought to need in your OL. The problem actually is that you managed to acquire/developonly four or five competent offensive linemen and when a couple of them got hurt you had nothing behind them who could get the job done. Oh, that happened in years past too so I guess you didn't learn from those experiences.

You are the legendary "Hog-Master". So, what great offensive lines have you actually developed in the last 15 years? I think the answer to that is zero.

Maybe - just maybe - the Hogs were great because there were at least 3 and maybe 4 outstanding talents on that line at the same time and just about any good line coach could have made them into a dominant unit. In your subsequent stops in the NFL - including your reincarnation here - the offensive lines have been sub-standard most of the time and marginally above average once in a while.

Maybe you should be one of the guys at the Trailways Terminal with bags in hand? Maybe you should be first in line?

Buges said something last year about this time like; "It's Joe's team and he's gonna run it how he wants" in reference to the running game. Seemed like a shot at Saunders. This year it's definitely a shot at the players. Maybe the overall problem is simply dissent and lack of discipline & respect for the coaches.

If there is a problem w/players, why does it take till the middle of the year for the coaches to react to it? Maybe Gibbs & Buges are just using the media to try & fire the team up.
