Gibbs is going to conservative. The other this I dont' get is where is the slant route in our offense? Its probably the best route in football and i have not seen it run once yet. Does anybody remeber from Gibbs first term if they used the slant route at all?

I don't recall Gibbs using the slant play. He normally had his QB throw down field because they could. This biggest challenge for him is get Brunell enought protection and throw the ball earlier to lead the receiver down the field. The slant route doesn't work when you have receivers dropping as many balls as we did today. I like the screen pass where you throw to either side and let the receiver match up against a CB man to man.
