Gibbs Press Conference:

you can't totally discount the offense last year. defense won the eagles game and the TB playoff game, but the stomping on the giants and dallas (very nice memories) was the peak of our offense.

I love how all of a sudden Archuleta isn't Williams' doing. Not sure where this came from but anyway.

Williams has said that he had his eye on Arch for a few years now. Gibbs trusts Williams when it comes to him selecting his own defensive personnel.

I still think that Arch can work out for us once he settles into the system and we get healthier as a secondary.

I've seen enough of Brunell to notice that the only time he is effective is when the other team has us blown out and resorts to prevent defenses. I think Sunday Sonny even referred to Brunell 'padding his stats'. Otherwise, when we're in the game he's simply not getting the job done. I certainly wouldn't be adverse to seeing Campbell under center, especially since we've got 2 wks to get him ready.

While changing QB's will not improve our defense, a better QB hopefully would translate into more points and greater time of possession. I would think that keeping our defense off the field more could only be a good thing and Williams is more agressive with a big lead compared to when the score is close, or as the case has been most of this season, when we're behind.

No, it's not all on Brunell, but a share of the blame certainly is. Our defense played pretty damn good in the first half of Indy and we only put up two TDs, one we had to get off a punt return. Our offense isn't cutting it either.

Also, the more our offense 3 and outs, the harder it gets on an already beat up defense. If they can't get off the field for more than 3 plays at a time, it gets awfully hard to keep it up.

What good comes from calling out players in public?

Parcells does it, how much has it help them?

What Gibbs says behind closed doors is all that matters. I could care less what he says to the media. He could do a puppet show for all I care.

I don't understand why some people are so hung up on what he says. He's never said anything, and he never will.

why waste all those picks on a guy you desperately don't want to play?

Look, none of this is surprising--we knew Gibbs would stick with MB to the bitter end. That does not mean he doesn't like Campbell or wants Collins to play. He's just doing what he's done before with a vet he likes. My guess is, as matty's been saying, we'll have MB until we are eliminated or MB is hurt. Sorry, folks.

Agreed. Which may not be for several more weeks, hopefully if at all (wishful thinking). But then you surely don't go to Collins, right?
