Musgrave Moving On?

What happened in the playoffs? Yes, the offense was horrible.

But on the other hand there were 24 other teams that wish they had that option this year.

Huh? My point is that while Musgrave did help Brunell improve, and while the offensive did enjoy a statistical renaissance during the regular season all that went out the window in the playoffs. We returned to tight formations and Brunell started spraying the ball again.

And Matty, there's nothing wrong with Brunell's numbers last year. But where was that guy in the post season?

I'd just love for Brunell to stay healthy all season OR if he DOES get hurt to have the balls to say that he's hurting the team and step down.

It's definetely done: even the Post has it!

Wonder if Saunders will bring someone in--or maybe Gibbs himself will do it?

They may have. The shotgun basically gives the defense a major clue as to what play is about to be run, and according to what I've read over the past few days, that's something that Saunders deliberately avoids.

Now I wished I'd payed more attention to KC games this year.


KC did use the Shotgun formation ( I remember watching KC play a few times this year other than the Redskins game,) but it wasn't an automatic assumption everytime KC got into a 3rd and long situation. I like the idea of using it sparingly. I believe making it an automatic thing on long yardage downs tends to make it easier to stop.

Raise your hand if you'd like to see one, JUST ONE, thread that doesn't turn into yet another Ramsey vs. Brunell debate

Consider my hand raised.

This will be interesting. Now that Saunders has control over the offense, Gibbs and Burns would have the opportunity to take over coaching the quarterbacks.

Excellent...sorry, I see the name Burns and I just have to say it

Joe knows QB's

Well, there's one less chef in the kitchen now. I always had the feeling that Musgrave was more or less just passing through. If you look at his resume, he has rarely stayed in one place very long. As far as I can tell his longest stint was two years at UVA. I also notice in the Press Guide that he coached with Buges in 1997 at Oakland. I did not know that.

I don't expect any more departures from the Offensive staff. Anyone disagree?

I also like the idea of bringing in Monty Burns...
