i'm not referring to the 80's, i'm referring to this years version. i agree with you when you say we don't have the personel yet, thats why i think gibbs should spread the defense out by going with 4 or 5 receivers. i think it would benefit portis' running style, give him more space instead of trying to jam him up into the middle of a huge pile

Yeah I am referring to this year too..that's why I was saying it's not a "jumbo package." I think what you are referring to are the fullback leads and the counter trey plays that are usually ran off tackle or up the middle. Spreading the defense out by using 4 or 5 wide receivers is okay to do some of the time, but it won't work all of the time.
I think most people are missing the point with Gibbs' offense. Its a ball controlled offense that appears mostly conservative. Its designed to eat up large portions of the clock while wearing down the opposing defense. Once our Quarterback develops further and once our receivers become more of a deep threat to defenses, then you'll see the full magic of Gibbs' offense. Things are going to be rather simple...maybe too simple for some tastes...but this is how Gibbs offense is ran.
