its not that he's become simple minded. like everyone has noted. Gibbs runs plays you know are coming but cant stop cuz of execution and perfect personnel for it (44). but the execution/personnel arent in sync for that right now (ever? different NFL?) and people are already asking Gibbs to adjust.

Gibbs adapts to his players talents. This takes time, especially combined with players still learning and buying into the system. Everyone (myself included) seemed to think that he would have some kind of "magic dust" to sprinkle on them and turn this team into an instant contender. He doesn't....it takes hard work, and they are on the right track.
It does kinda worry me a little that this came the week after Gibbs said that he needed to "simplify things" on the offense. It seems to me that he could throw in a few more surprises at them.....but it is still early. Remember that he hadn't called an NFL game for 12 years. That is a long time to be away from football completely and I expect him to get more and more comfortable with it as the season goes on.
