Offensive Report Card (Bucs game)

I had to give them a 'C' just because the scoring was quite low and a couple problems with Center and GQ exchange. Other than that, they did everything they needed to do..especially controlling the clock. If the Skins can start putting up at least 3 TDs a game and Iron out a few wrinkles, they should be a grade 'A' offense in no time.

This was the bucs and they are still a very good defensive team regardless of what people say . Yet we allowed no sacks and only had one turn over . The offence wasn't firing but it needs to get some belief in itself one thing I rember people saying in the offseason is the Gibbs passing game is a trust based system, throwing the ball to where the reciver is going to be not where they are, and that will need time to gel. Alot of offences use the timing systems but timing systms need time to work. We are still a 5-11 team untill someone steps up at tells us otherwise

We are still a 5-11 team untill someone steps up at tells us otherwiseOk I'll be the one to break the news, we're actually a 1-0 team

It is a fairly rudimentary offense, it's not rocket science. The difference is that Gibbs gets his players to buy into and execute this rudimentary offense to perfection. It's not flashy, (although I was fuckin' thrilled when I saw the counter tre) it's good, old fashioned football brought to us by a hall of fame coach. Any jackass can draw up complicated schemes, but they tend to fall apart when shit hits the fan. A great game day coach like Gibbs brings a simplistic (yet beautiful) gameplan that can be executed against any team. Every Sunday we will run the ball. When the defense brings extra personnel in to stop Portis, that's when we go for the deep ball. Pick your poison. It's not rocket science, it's fundamentals. :httr:

One: It will take time to get all the wrinkles into this offense. Gibbs has a huge playbook, and he barely cracked it yesterday. He needs to lay down that base coat of smash mouth running and pass protection first. Then he'll add the details.

Two: Why take a risk against a Monty Kiffin D? And when you've got a Williams D on your side? Get the W and set the tone!

Three: Pasta ass doesn't want to have to say something good so he calls it a "fairly rudimentary offense." What a load of crap. Do you really think that's all we've got, you bloated bowl of BS? Let's hope the rest of the league believes that and stacks the run. Gee, I wonder if Joe Gibbs has any pass plays? Gee, I wonder if he knows how to trick defenses with shifts and play action? This isn't Marty-ball. Gibbs is a bonafide offensive genius. But he knows better than to have his team beat themselves. One step at a time. Fairly rudimentary, my ass.

Big C, no offense, but you gotta check your sources here. See the thread where Wilbon takes Pasta to task. This is another sportswriter talking, not some hothead like myself on a message board.

Pasquarelli clearly has some sort of personal agenda against the Redskins, but he's right when he said that Thrash's block was key on the Portis run and I think that's all that Big C was trying to point out

Whoa! My Bad, Big C!!! I just caught the one where you say "these ppl share my opinion." Thrash defiently threw a nice block threre, and had some good play on punt coverage.

Sorry, man. Seeing anything even like a pro-pasta post gets me going! So, to all: take my crit of Pasta, not of the Big C. :doh:

I don't have a problem with someone saying the offense is rudimentary, but coming from Lenny P and knowing his agenda you can pretty much bet on the fact that's his little way of taking yet another jab at the Redskins.

The offense is rudimentary in the way it focuses on the basic fundamentals, but when you also look at the shifts, the pulling lineman and h-backs and the blocking schemes, I think calling it rudimentary is glossing over the beauty of it.

He did have the key blocks on that one run, no doubt. But where was he the rest of the game which was my point. Say the quote below that Big C said which is what I disagree with. He then refers to Pasquirella as how Thrash played. You know that is a big no no around this site. Len P is not a authority on the skins.

Big C Quote "Did you not see james thrash blocking?? they even had an article on espn praising thrash for helping open holes."

The plantiff rests!! :dallas:

everyone in a gibbs offense blocks... i saw thrash coles and gardner all throwing down.
