did you guys read my entire post or just my first two sentences where i suggested gibbs could possibly "open up" the offense a bit more ? because i went on to say that gibbs could'nt "open it up" so much do to the fact that moss, cooley and portis are the only true threats on offense. i agree 100% with you guys about the skins needing another wr and gibbs running a ball control offense. everyone knows gibbs wants a ball control offense , i'm fine with that. what i'm suggesting when i use the term "open up" the offense is gibbs taking a few more shots down the field (even if they are incomplete) the pass can open up the run just as well as the run opening up the pass. i would also like to see gibbs use the middle of the field with some of his pass plays (i could prolly count on one hand the number of passes completed in the middle). the last way i think he could "open" things up is by using the rb screen with portis (did they run that play at all this year with portis ?) i think portis would do very well with it.

other folks on this site may use the term "open up" differently then i do. i do not want the skins to become a "pass first" offense, i would just like to see a little bit more of the things i suggested obove.

believe me when i say "i love joe gibbs as our coach" he made some "minor" adjustments from last season to this season (shotgun, some runblocking changes, different formations,etc...) i'm just suggesting a few more "minor" changes.
