I wholeheartedly concur jwsleep, it will take TIME and Gibbs will undoubtedly borrow anything that he thinks will help.

The argument I heard most often was that Portis was the wrong type of runner for Gibbs' system. This argument basically says that Gibbs is blind and dumb, and will continue to try to push a round peg into a square hole.

I think Gibbs is about results. You don't win three SBs with three different qbs and three different running backs by focusing on a "system". I think the Gibbs system is about playing physical, smart football. I know Gibbs will find a way to get the running game going. My bet is that once the running game gets going, and it will at some point, the passing game will likely prosper.

Continuity. It's what I've been begging for out of Snyder since he bought the team. It's what Denver has and we don't, a continuous unbroken philosophy. Plus they've shown an ability to identify the types of runners that will do well in their system and have been successful in drafting those kinds of guys.
