glad you pointed this out. The players don't practice an extra week, but the coaches were working I'm sure.
I bet there was some serious discussion between Gibbs & AS over the 2 minute O. If anything can be gained in the bye week other than rest from injuries, it's the staff ironing out its clock mgmt. problems. This stuff goes back to 04. We got through it in the philly game, but it's not gonna happen that way every time.
In addition, I fear that Gibbs & AS are not on the same pg. Someone pointed this out in another thread, there seems to be a lack of identity on offense. Maybe it's just the injuries to the o-line & JC's maturation process & time will take care of it.
