If MB still is gonna be our starter than give him a chance to make some plays and maybe even give him the liberty of calling a couple of plays on the fly? It might just be crazy enough to work?!!!

yes! this O might work if they react & stop thinking!
I thought we should have gone to the hurry up earlier monday night.

Brunell would never make it past on series if we did that he old legs wouldnt be able to handle the stress. Why would we run a no huddle when you just throw the ball out of bounds.I want to say i'm sorry for being so hard on brunell he is leading in one stat out of all starting qb's and that is throwing the ball to out of bounds. Got to love that daring and courage to make any play to win the game.

Well apparently when the Eagles beat them, they are "back on track, and legit contenders".

Honestly I would hope that doesn't happen. I hate to say this, but I would take a losing season over a playoff season, for long term success. I think that if we stick with it, and Gibbs doesn't take over, then we will hopefully be rolling mid-season.

That's a start though. You have to beat somebody.

true, but it does give the team some confidence and show them that they can beat a team and the offense does work

The advantage for us using no huddle now is that it would take the play calling away from the coaches somewhat. It might also prevent the coaches from using their personell packages which tips off their plays. We tend to run out of run formations and pass out of pass formations. It may also create more urgency in the hearts and minds of the players.

The negatives are that if you are unsuccessful you put your defense back out on the field faster and that offensive linemen hate it. I think we need to get back to basics first with the power running game and play action. I would say that our offensive problems are two in number: 1. No running game, and 2. Predictability of play callling.

Sometimes the smartest thing is the simplest thing. I think that's the case for us.

Give the ball to portis, and when it isn't in his hand...it should be a hot potato... and that's where Brunell needs to step up once he's given the oppurtunity. If we run the ball well and Brunell still is looking 10 years too old, then a QB controversy should arise.

I'm actually starting to get excited for the offense again. I see a feast ahead of the famine. HTTR.

It could be the difference between having a playoff season and having one of the worst seasons in Gibbs' history.

We are not doing it because its too easy.
