Also remember that all the practices are now closed to the public. Which means that Gibbs has not installed all of he offensive plays yet.
joeCrisp: if you watched the game lastnight, how many plays looked similar to what they worked on during practice? I am willing to bet alot.
Trust me Gibbs was not going to show everything lastnight...

Good point. And a great deal of it will not show up until WEEK 1. There will be one play thrown in here and there during the preseason from his hidden arsenal to test them out. Then those plays and variations will show up frequently in the regular season. And the counter trey stuff they were running needs a LOT more practice. They will continue to improve their blocking execution. It has to get automatic for them. For some of those OL players, that high level of mobility, quickness, and deceptiveness that is required is going to take a while. When that comes together, it will greatly loosen up the passing game. Hopefully, by then, Brunell and Ramsey will have shaken off the rust.
Yeah - I'm an optomist - AND a believer in Gibbs!!!

Gibbs keeps it pretty vanilla in the preseason, so I'm not worried. I was a little dissapointed with the play of Brunell and Ramsey, but it's just the first real game, they still have some off season rust. I think Brunell will win the job though. Gibbs likes veterans.

The main thing is Ram had to look like there was no residual foot problem.
Taylor was to look like a 1st rounder.
Brunnell was to look like he was not too old, and still mobile.
And that He (Doc) was not worried.
All that in the last 10 minutes of the 4:30-5:00 p.m. hour on 980.
Doc should know!

One thing I can certainly distinguish from last season's debacle is penalties. It was refreshing to see the other team penalized from our goal back to the 30 yard line. That's the difference between Greg Williams and that other guy we had at Defensive Coordinator.
