Dazed And Confused!

Gibbs has been living in fantasy land since his return 3 years ago, he has completly lost whatever it was he had in the past, whether it's his football instinct, or what I believe and have believed all along is one Bobby Beathard. He has absolutly no clue when it comes to talent evaluation, and that not only includes who get's drafted or traded for, but who see's playing time.

Gibbs stepped into the front office as if he knew the NFL better than the NFL itself, he immediatly began the Steinbrenner building format, and that is sign people on reputation alone and what they have done in the past, rather than evaluating that player and see if he fit's in with what you want to do, and can he still do what he was once capable of doing, with no real regard for the draft, you see that is how someone who is incapable or incompetent in talent evaluation get's by on the pro level, just sign established talent, but as we can see that can become very expensive and blow up in your face in a hurry.

It is becoming very easy to see where Gibbs success came from in the 80's, it was Bobby Beathard, BB alway's had a plethara of talent on those teams, and he alway's made sure that if Gibbs made a change at a particular position there was another player waiting in the wings to succeed.

Does anyone really think that BB would have given up what we gave up for Portis? NO way! Especially with a Stephen Jackson coming out who would have been perfect for what Gibbs wanted to do on offense and that's pound the ball, do you think there was anyway that Brunell would have been brought in? No way! Every GM at the time said Brunell was no longer willing to stand in the pocket long enough to allow recievers to break free because he would no longer take a hit, do you think that if the average GM was able to make this evaluation one of the all time greats would not?

Beathard would have drafted better players for minimal contracts or standard contracts, than the players we blew out of the water with grossly overpaid contracts. After watching Carter it is very apparent that he has no first step, he is alway's late coming off the ball, he has no pass rush moves to speak of and he can't disengauge from a defender once they lock horns. AA need I say more, except this, we had a better player on our roster who wanted to stay and we couldn't see our hand in front of our face, dumped him for AA who will now spend most of his time on the sidelines. Then we can turn to Rocky another guy we just had to have and of coarse can't sniff the field. Do I even need to bring up Campbell? Funny the cowboy's had all the same problems we have and yet a simple change at QB and there off and running, and I don't want to here about our victory last week, everyone know's we were as lucky as lucky gets to win that game, we didn't take it, the Boy's gave it to us, TO's sure TD drop, a blocked fieldgoal and a facemask to boot, come on we should be 2-7 right now.

Now here's what does it for me, Gibbs utter distain to give anyone but Brunell playing time at QB, it's boarderline psychotic, we are getting blown out and he just keeps running Brunell out onto the field, 2 of the last 3 games Campbell could have played the 4th quarter and Gibbs is still running Brunell out there, I JUST DON'T GET IT? Brunell must have pictures of Gibbs with farm animals or something because there is no way he should still be on that field, so for anyone who thinks Ramsey recieved a fair shot, just take a long hard look at what Gibbs percieves as a fair shot in Brunell, I still have to laugh at how fast he yanked Ramsey as if the world was about to end, and this undieing loyalty to a QB who is absolutly horrible.

BB proved he can win without Gibbs, he built SB teams everywhere he went, Gibbs hasen't proved he can even win games without BB. Case and point BB was able to get Bobby Ross to a SB, it just goes to show you that superior talent can go a long way in the NFL. It can even make a hall of famer out of you.

As far as Williams goes, this is the first season since Gibbs arrived that Williams hasen't been able to carry his A**, which say's more about Gibbs inability to step up and carry a defense for once than Williams having an off year, yes Gibbs recieved upgrades on offense this year with proven players, Williams although thought was getting upgrades recieved downgrades which is a huge reason why we are where we are on defense. But I will lay some of the blams on what it looks like to me as a coaching slump by Williams, he has to put Rogers up tight on the reciver, this will let Rogers who is very, very physical for a corner to jam and run with the reciever, he just doesn't have the type of reactions to play in space and react to the reciever after the reciever get's some momentum going, he then has to sell out more and bring more blitz packages, I would rather give up the occasional big play than to give a QB all day to find a WR, because our front 4 will not pressure the QB, and we will die a slow death if we stay in that type of D, he need's to get back to the Buddy Ryan philosophy and that's attack, attack, attack!!!!!! If you don't get to the QB with 7 guy's then send 8 but alway's attack.

As for Joe Bugel? Well what I saw yesterday was not guy's getting beat on our line man to man, but coaching breakdowns, I don't think Bugel can catchup with these new blitzing defense as well, I know the guy is a legend here but I have to say we have no ability to run on short yardage play's, we are lucky if we can make half a yard when teams stack up against us let alone convert a third and two on the ground, it's either the coach, or the line, take your pick but that never happened in the 80's, and I keep hearing praise from the coaches about our O-line and how it is the strength of the team, so what is someone to think?

Re: Dazed And Confused!

somehow, i knew this would end up about brunell. the one thing people forget about bethard and gibbs was back then the skins had a shitload of talent on the roster, and tons more hidden away on injured reserve. the new rules prohibit that. plus, gibbs playcalling was alot more aggressive in his first go round. im not sure if brunells arm is strong enough to consistantly throw the ball 50 or 60 yards downfield. campbells arm strength reminds me of mark rypiens arm. very strong, and very accurate

I've only seen him coach this team to a win 3-times this year.

So, what does the Hall Fame have to do with that?

He has the most talented offense he has ever coached. So, what's the problem?

He has the most talented offense he has ever coached. So, what's the problem?
he has the best offense he's ever coached on paper and look only,no offense to the current wrs,but i would take monk,clark,and sanders over them anyday.the problem is'nt with the coaches,it's with the players,the only player on the skins team this year that has played good enough to even be mentioned as a pro bowl player is sean taylor.gibbs and the coaches know how to coach,maybe the players just are'nt listening?why else would they be the most penalized team in the league?

Re: Dazed And Confused!

Not to take away from what Beathard has accomplished in his career-he was very instrumental to the success of the Redskins in the 1980s-but there were many many more lean years than good years during Beathard's tenure in San Diego. The Chargers going to the Super Bowl was as much a fluke as the Capitals going to the Stanley Cup back in 1998. And have we forgotten the great Beathard was the one who went hard after Ryan Leaf? Why don't we rake him over the coals for that?

And can someone please explain to Offiss the difference between "here" and "hear"??

And last but not least. Does anyone else get the impression that Offiss fantasizes about threeways with Beathard and Ramsey?
