To answer your question, YES, if all we do well right now is pages 1-8 of his playbook, then HELL YES junk the rest and get back to basics.

Where is this offense going as it is right now? Nowhere. It's time to realize what this team does best and just do it.

This team is at a crossroads. The road that has brought us to the brink of the season hasn't worked. It's time to re-evaluate and plot a new course. If that means going back to last year's philosophy I'm all for it. Blindly plowing forward as is isn't getting us anywhere.

Gibbs needs to sit down with Saunders and say look, this isn't working. We need to focus on what we do well and scrap this 700-page experiment for now. They can get back to it in the offseason, or pepper some of it in as we go, but for right now we really need a basic approach.

yeah i mean, that's everyone thought when Al Saunders was brought here. why fix whats not broken? old argument. while i wish Gibbs would take back the reigns, he brought Saunders for all this crap, and i have a sinking feeling he may keep trying it.

i would love to see Gibbs take control again. Saunders is a genius, dont get me wrong, but we WON with Gibbs style to run it at till they puke and pass when they're beatdown. Saunders adds a little variety, but gets WAY away from the reason y we were winning in the first place


RUNNING LIKE MAD MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

125 yards on 26 carries. Rushing could have been a bit worse. I agree we should have pounded it a lot more towards the end, but they were definitely keyed to the run. We tried to hit them when they pulled into the box, but failed.

I think that going for the jugular at the end with almost a minute left was a little nuts....we had a little time to run the "dink and dunk" game to the sidelines to preserve time and march up the field to either FG or Td and end it but instead, Brunell pretty much sealed his OWN fate in the fans' eyes

Portis clearly is our best, most-inspired player. Others such as Brunell never show any intensity in the 4th quarter or any other time.

Its hard not to think that last years 6 game win streak was an aberation instead of the norm.

I think we need to set the tone against INDI.

Why don't we institute a "full house" backfield. Sellers, Portis, and Duckett.
Saunders can run his sweeps with Sellers and Duckett blocking. Should the safeties "play the outside"... we pound it up with lead plays right up the gut giving Duckett the ball.

We do not have the tools to throw deep

We have not been running our WR's successfully to the outside

We have not established an identity. (I heard Sonny imply that we are a football team that doesn't know what to do. We're trying to finess the opponent when we have people like Duckett and Sellers in the backfield being used sparingly.)

Changing to this offense will control the clock more and most importantly take some weight off our defense. It will minimize turnovers, and I think it's the correct gameplan to run against INDI.

Yeah... JAX he showed zero intensity late in the game....
Remember Seattle reg season last year?

Brunell shows intensity, he just only shows it to one player. When the other team knows he's going to Moss.... that's when he throws his pick.

Then we miss out on Cooley. the one receiver big and slow enough for Brunell to see in the middle.

despite his size, Duckett isn't a fullback and probably wouldn't take to lead blocking. Cooley has done that a good deal though. i think Cooley lead blocking for Sellers is a hell of an idea at times, Sellers has some pretty good feet! it's true!

Vicious? Ya, probably. Funny? Definitely? Joking? FUCK NO. I truly think that his fullhouse backfiled is one of the best ideas ive heard in forever...wtf is ANY D gonna do if we come out with that shit? besides tuck their tails and hope to god they can stop us....

I think Sellers is great. He loves this team and I think that drives him to push a little harder when he runs...with the twins trains (Sellers and Duckett) in at the same time....jesus....D's would move out of the way rather than get run the FUCK over!

Sellers is the shit frankly. he lives on hitting people, then surprises you with his footwork on the carries. and how could we forget all his TDs in the endzone last year??

That's why i wasn't happy with the Duckett acquistion. Sellers was a talented secret weapon and we should use him now before he gets too old.

what else can i say? you pretty much just broke it the fuck down for all the fools who dont see it like that.....Sellers is money

Seller+Duckett=STEAMROLLER
