I realize I'm gonna catch a lot of shit for saying this (especially being new to the Warpath), but I can't help pointing out the mistake in the title. It should read "Why Doesn't 'Gibbs' Football' Work for the NFL." I do not think Gibbs would do much better coaching the Colts or Pats at this stage in his career. Great man, HOF coach, but too conservative, predictable in today's NFL and stuck with what he seems to regard as a QB too young and green to let loose. Also, I don't think Gibbs commands as much respect among his boys as Belachick or Dungy do among theirs. Our offense rarely plays w/ passion as a unit (we see it in Portis, Cooley, Moss and now ARL quite a bit though). On the other hand Williams' defense plays with passion at least 50% of the time (discounting the '06 nightmare). Just my opinion.
