Gibbs called the final 4 plays...(No he didn't)

Sorry for the additional thread, merge if neccessary, but from the ESPN recap:
(ESPN - Giants rally as defense holds Skins to 83 yards in second half - NFL Football Recap)

Gibbs said he called the final plays, taking over the job that usually belongs to assistant coach Al Saunders.

"We feel like either one of our backs are capable of being in there," Gibbs said. "And on that particular drive, it was Ladell who was in there."


Also, Jeremy Green's (Scouts Inc.) take which supports a lot of what the Warpathers have been saying tonight..

The Washington Redskins took an early lead in this game, but this team has no "killer" instinct. Despite three Washington turnovers and plenty of opportunities, offensive coordinator Al Saunders refused to take the handcuffs off QB Jason Campbell. The Redskins never opened up the passing game until it was too late. Campbell showed great poise in the first half, but then in the second half, the Redskins had way too many third-and-long situations because they would not throw the ball on first and second down. When the Redskins needed to crank up the passing game late, it just was not there. Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El were completely neutralized in this game. That's not just Campbell's fault, Saunders and the offensive coaches need to shoulder a big portion of the blame as well. This offensive is way too conservative. With three shots inside the 3-yard-line, Clinton Portis is on the bench and they only attempt one pass. Until they open up the offense and turn Campbell loose, the Redskins are going to be in close games every weekend.
