what chapter was THAT in his vaunted play bible?
the gameplan for Jax was a drastic departure of the one drawn up for the Texans. besides sticking with the run, this offense really attacked the corners in this game, and not just the linebackers and safeties from the Texans.
Were the Texans corners that much better than Jax's or did Al just pull out his most conservative chapter last week to get that much needed first win of the season?
from the beginning there were crazy trick plays, shots over the top and big rollouts. i think Al must comes up with a new offensive identity (still based on the run) every week.

I guess that 700 page playbook is getting some use! Wow! It was different than against the Texans, but the run game still was the basis for creating room for the pass game. Nice job by Al Saunders and his staff!

Like I said last week when everyone was complaing about why we weren't going downfield more and weren't opening up the offense more - Saunders wasn't about to show his best stuff against the Texans... :)
Where the heck is Southpaw... I have tons of crow waiting for him!!
Saunders is a brilliant playcaller and offensive strategist. It was only a matter of time before things started clicking. Having a healthy Portis makes a huge difference too.

i'd be a VERY confused coach next week trying to gameplan against our offense. you're right the key will always remain Portis, but if Jacksonville couldn't stop him...
as if Coughlin wasn't confused enough already.

yeah, I hope we can run down their throats as well. They've only really been playing about a quarter a game... even in their wins. Seattle smoked them and let up at the end. We HAVE to put them to bed quick... I don't want this one going down to the wire...

Ive been saying the same thing all season. Portis really makes the offense click. Portis makes Betts more effective as well as making the pass game more effective. I also feel from a mental stand point when Portis went out the whole team was down. Just having Portis back I see the offense looks more focused and fired up to play. Saunders called the game well also. We need to continue our progress on both sides of the ball next week, we owe the Giants for that 36-0 embarrasment last year at the Meadowlands.

DO we fear any teams pass rush now?????
I would have to say no, the run game is finding its way to work even for Betts, and the passing game continues to emerge more and more threatning.
Heading into New York i am excited to see how we put pressure on their defense

Osi and Strahan are the fierciest pass rushers in the league. they can catch ol' Brunell on those rollouts.
my newly refreshed man-love for Santana aside, i hope we don't have to pass so much in this game and instead keep hitting him in the mouth with Sellers and that awesome Samuels/Dock train Portis rode up the middle last night.
nothing would make me happier than brusing up AP with Sellers. unlike Lavar who really wanted to stay, AP turned his back on the team that made him somebody. AND he totally gave up our entire playbook and field calls the week before the 36-0 blowout. thats a traitor right there.

In the so called ranking system in the NFL Offensive rankings:
1.Eagles
2.Giants
3.Washington
NFL.com - NFL Stats (http://www.nfl.com/stats/teamsort/NFL/OFF-TOTAL/2006/regular?sort_col_1=4)
But defensively we are ranked 15.
That is sad BUT I cant imagine them playing any worst defensively so it would seem they will improve and break the top 10 in a month and more. Offensively I think those numbers will move up as well as a result and especially b/c we will see both 1/2 twice.
I just hope this team doesnt become the Chiefs all Offense and a Vaginal defense. I think the second half of the schedule is when the teams we play have a stronger arsenal of Offense that we will some how have to overcome.
We have to go see :
NY,Tenn,Colts,Bye,Dallas,Phil,TB,Caro,TB,Phil,NO,S TL,NY
This schedule seems less intimidating as long as we keep winning actually its spread out pretty good except for the 6 week span from Dallas til Phil that seem exhausting.
