I title the thread with that one simple word, because I am positive that Joe Gibbs has forgotten the term.
Am I am the only that sees ten people in the box, and they still run it up the middle. The play calling is horrible. If theres ten in the box, dont run the ball, call an audible. I dont mean do like Spurrier and call 8 a play, but be smart about it. A lot of the time when they line up, not only do I know what we are calling, but its clear that it is not going to work.
An audible could be huge for us in making more first downs and scoring more points.

gibbs doesn't like audibles cause they can result in penalties... so running into a stacked line and wasting a down is a good solution if i've ever heard it :(
I thought it was REALLY strange too, i mean seattle wasn't even trying to hide it.

Ive never seen as many people in the box as I saw today. It was crazy how many of them stacked the line and yet we just ran right into them.
We did finally run some play action. But we still dont threaten the opposing team to play back on us, and until they do they will stack the box and stifle portis.

I couldnt agree more,thats what I just said in the Brunell thread,so much for Moss stretching the defense,Brunell's an experienced qb,he should be able to recognize the situation and call an audible,who calls the plays anyway? is it Gibbs or somebody else?whoever it is might want to turn it over to somebody else

My guess is we'll see more of them as Gibbs and Brunnell get comfortable. You have to be able to audible in this league. No two ways about it.
If only Joe Gibbs and his staff had the knowledge and experience of some of the guys on this board eh?

Was it me or did seattle seem to know every time we were going to run every time we ran.
