70Chip 10-30-2006, 01:11 AM Did this post make sense to anyone else? I mean, I don't pretend to be nearly as knowledgeable as Offiss is, none of us are, but this has me completely confused. Little help please. Thanks
He seems to be saying that a 2000 yards season is within any backs reach if they get enough carries, that Betts is better than Portis, and that Gibbs is suspect until he wins without a "dominate O-line". All nonsense. Czabanesque nonsense.
jsarno 10-30-2006, 01:33 AM If jason campbell is not the answer than maybe draft one in this year's draft or pick up green for a couple of years before he retires to lead us to the super bowl with the talent we have on this team.
WHAT? Pick up another aging QB? Sure he knows the system, but youth has to be the focus, not another mid to late thirty year old!

Shoot. Green is older than Brunell

But what I am also saying is, if our line is as bad as everyone thinks and I have thought it wasen't as good as everyone had made out in previous years than who's fault is it? Is it not Gibbs fault for not identifing such a glaring need at such a vital area of the team?
I can't help but wonder how many championships Gibbs may have won if it wasen't for that great line he had for 10 years, and we are talking all time great here. The fact is many coaches may have been able to win with that line, then again maybe not, Gibbs did what any good coach would do utilize his talent. But Gibbs had times during his first tenure when we couldn't move the ball like when we made the switch from Joey T to Schroeder, the offense took off once that happened, it always seemed back in the 80's the offense was as good as the QB, that's how it was for JG. Maybe it's still the same way, maybe all our problems stem from the QB and I have a strong feeling for the most part it does, then maybe Gibbs really hasen't lost it, maybe it's more of an ego thing that he can't swallow his pride on Brunell, either way he has to take the fall.
I for one am willing to cut the line some slack even though I have felt that Samuels is highly overated and have thought that for a 3 or 4 years now, Jansen has been a rock for us but is defiently having a down year, Dockery weighs 350 and plays like he's 250, and I felt we could have drafted better than Rabach, but there glaring faults could be under a huge spotlight because of the QB play, and until [as the grim reap put it] we cut off the head I for one will give them a pass [no pun intended].
And here's an example of why, our favorite team in the whole world made a switch tonight against one of the toughest defenses in the league with maybe the toughest D-line, and what happened? An undrafted QB with zero starts came in and managed the game and made some key plays, did he do anything spectacular? No, but he hung in the pocket didn't crumble when players were near him and made throws downfield when need be he was more concerned about making a play than when he was going to be hit, and all we heard is how the Boy's O-line can't protect, and no way will they keep Carolina from killing Romo, well Dallas's line didn't do to bad tonight did they? And all they did was replace the QB, Bledsoe is Brunells twin at QB, the only difference is Bledsoe stands in the pocket and waits to get hit, Brunell can't even do that he throws it immediatly as soon as he see's a different colored jersey on his side of the line of scrimmage, where he throws it is of no concern to him, or apparently Gibbs, so long as it's not an INT. Tonight we saw exactly why Parcells used to own Gibbs, because he identified his problem and fixed it with an undrafted QB, Gibbs still has no clue and gave up plenty for mister ACCURATE, and we think the world of him JC, so to put it bluntly, Dallas is winning with undrafted QB's and we can't get our big time 1st rounder on the field to take an NFL snap! So Gibbs will spend 2 weeks trying to fix Brunell and find out against the Boys that all the kings horses and all the king's men can't put our humpty dumpty back together again. And then we will be treated to all the excuses! Where's Lawerence Taylor when you need him?
jsarno 10-30-2006, 02:03 AM Shoot. Green is older than Brunell
EXACTLY! What's the point in that? We had our chance with Green and let him go.
GTripp0012 10-30-2006, 02:45 AM Bledsoe is Brunells twin at QB
Through 7 starts:
Drew Bledsoe 2006
53.3% completion
1164 yards
7 TDs, 8 INTs
69.2 QB rating (icky stat, w/e)
Mark Brunell 2006
64.1% completion
1465 yards
7 TDs, 3 INTs
90.4 QB rating
Why are they twins? Because they are of similar age? Does that make me Lindsay Lohan's twin?

Daseal 10-30-2006, 10:29 AM HI, I'm Lindsy Lohan and this is how a crab walks!
Southpaw 10-30-2006, 11:27 AM Clinton Portis coming out of college looked to be a very good change of pace and third down type of back, but he was put into a system that allowed for big gains running the ball where he could use his speed to really run up some serious numbers, but just like most of the backs that go through denver he is a little better than avg back.
Little better than an average back?? Are you serious? He's probably one of the three most talented tailbacks in the NFL. Not to mention the fact that the slightly above average tailback set the Redskins single season rushing records behind the "slow" offensive line, just last year. I don't see how anyone can still call him a system back with what he's done since he's been in Washington.
And you're kidding yourself if you think Betts could handle the load. First of all, he's not the "power runner" that everyone seems to think he is. He may be a north/south runner, but if someone puts a hand on him, he's going down. Second, he's not durable. Even though he's only had a handful of starts in his four year career, he's been injured at least once in every season. Hell, even last week, when Brunell checked down to him several times in a row, he looked like he was having trouble getting back to the huddle by the third pass he caught.
