The Coryell system has alway's been one that needed a QB with a big arm, this could be a changing of the guard as far as brunell is concerned, I do believe we will abandon a lot of the Musgrave dink and dunk offense, does this possibly spell a repreave for Ramsey? Or does it mean a possible promotion for Campbell, it will be very interesting to see how this unfolds?

I really wonder what kind of input he will have concerning the starter.

One thing for sure, I believe Portis should be doing cart wheels right about now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing, it is not Musgraves offense. Its Joe Gibbs offense, Musgrave was brounght in to work w/ Brunell and maybe give a suggestion on two. This signing is a great thing, this guys offense has never been out of the top 5 since 99. It would be nice for Ramsey to actually get a shot to play for this guy. Ramsey loves to attack down field and this guy does that. Portis should benefit greatly from more zone and stretch plays, more screens also. I personally cant wait until next september when we start whipping some ass.

Actually it's nobody's offense right now, and we defiently took a turn towards the west coast offense around the 4th or 5th game because of the futility on offense, and that was Musgraves influence, Gibbs was probably calling most of the play's, but theres a reason Saunders is being brought in, and it's not because everyone is trying to take credit for our offensive output this past season.

Other than the shotgun I really didn't see any big differences in the offense from this year compared to last. The big difference this year was Moss could actually make a defender miss making the WR screens an effective play.

I think people really overexagerrate Musgrave's "impact" on the offense.

What I saw was the involvment of the TE/hb, we really seemed to start dumping the ball off a lot more and using the backs out of the backfield, I suppose there was a little bit of everything going on with our offense this past season, hopefully that is soon to be rectified? And I believe it will be.

Ramsey is as good as gone.. Regardless of the play caller, the bottom line is the coaching staff doesn't have confidence in him (see trade for Brunell, 3 picks traded for Campbell, 70% Brunell playing vs. 100% Ramsey in the Eagles game and playoffs) the addition of a coach from the outside isn't going to change that..

That being said, I expect Brunell to be the starter going into the season but at the first sign of injury I think Campbell will be put in with the expectation that it's his job to lose at that point. He will probably start 1-2 pre season games as well to get some live time with the starters but Saunders offense doesn't seem to put too much on the QB as far as decision making, plus he doesn't let his QBs audible.. Wasn't he the offensive coordinator when Kurt Warner came out of nowhere to win the MVP award and the Rams won the Super Bowl?

What will be the learning curve for an Al Saunders offense? Do you guys think we will be hitting on all cylinders come the first game. I know he installs a ton of motion, more than us, so I wonder if shouldn't expect that big of change this first year coming up under him ... especially if Campbell ends up starting ...

From the Times:

It's unclear how much the Redskins' playbook will change with the arrival of Saunders.

"It won't happen overnight because it's a very complicated offense," the source said. "But when it does come together, it's going to be awesome. Redskins fans are going to love this guy. They're going to love this offense."

Welcome Soldier! Glad you came to the Forum!

Some have mentioned a Brunell retirement, and P. Ram back as #1 or #2.

Until he's officially out of here I will not give up!!!!!!!!

I'M with you on this one!!!

[MTK]

I can't wait to see Ramsey tear it up elsewhere.

We really haven't come to regret any of the players we've let leave so far under Gibbs, outside of maybe Pierce but Marshall has proved to be a more than capable replacement.

Dude - CHILL OUT! We made it to the Divisoanl play off game WITH Brunell. No matter what you say Brunell was a leader. He has experience and he can run and scramble.

You are going to miss A LOT of good games in 06 with that attitude!
