Or we can have him use Chad Morton to block Mike Strahan and then he can go coach some college boys down in South Carolina

It's amazing the lack of respect you show to Gibbs. But of course, he hasn't earned it in your mind, right?

LOL, ouch

We want changes in personnel not formations.
Our O-line is suffering.

It might be a little too late to be making changes in personnel. I think the coaching staff is happy with they got.

What is our O-line suffering from? The flu? Athletes foot? What do you mean?

The personnel is not going to change, and shouldn't. It's not like we're working with subpar talent, we've just gotten subpar results. Playing smashmouth with Portis is just misusing his talent. I think playing in that style will ultimately make Portis tougher, but I'd much rather see Portis running downhill than to see him barreling into the line trying to move the pile. Whatever it takes to win more games, I'm for that.

Yeah. Where have you been Aprius? OL is straight. But hey, if you're a fan of roster turnover so be it.

In all do respect, Gibbs hasen't earned it in his own mind, he has insisted time and again that what's in the past is in the past, this is a fresh start and he has to earn that respect all over again, he will be judged by what he does now not from what he has done in the past.

I have a question for everyone, forget what Gibbs did in the past and treat him like a brand new coach who has accomplished nothing, then let's hear the evaluation of him pertaining to last season alone and this past draft, I think a lot of the posts will be much different when you remove Gibbs's mystique and evaluate him objectivly.

This question may be better suited for it's own thread.

First of all, of course Gibbs is going to say that. Anybody who knows about coach Gibbs knows he's going to say that. He's about the most humble guy you've ever seen. What's he going to say: "I deserve extra consideration and patience because I won 3 rings for this franchise!"? Come on, that's what us fans are here for. To defend and support the coach who was at the helm for the only thing resembling a dynasty this team has ever known.

Sorry, but he's not a rookie coach. You can't strip away his prior accomplishments and judge him. That'd be like Brian Billick going to the 49ers this year, finishing 6-10, and then judging him as a terrible coach based solely on one year's performance. Just doesn't make sense to me. With Gibbs comes a stellar record and uncontroverted success. Even non-Redskins fans I've talked to don't judge Joe Gibbs without first seeing the three rings on his fingers. I swear he gets more respect around the rest of the NFL than he does from certain people in this forum.

If you were old enough to watch the old Gibbs teams in the eighties and early nineties, I think most would agree its kind of tough to "forget about it". I don't want to forget. Those were the pinnacle years for the Redskins! There's nothing wrong with learning from mistakes (aka Gibbs 2004 season) and moving forward. We have confidence in Joe because he's done it before and we see no reason he can do it again. In our "internet, give-it-to-me-now" generation, development has become a analogy for failure. I just can't forget Super Bowl 17, 4th and 1, Riggins ripping down the sideline, faster than ANYONE thought. It hadn't worked the whole game but we stuck with it. Today, we would have given up that play.
We're all cocks and we should all go get laid!
