Gibbs had better figure out the strength of the 2007 Redskins soon or we will see more blown leads. I question whether they can just salt games away with the running game when they're down 2 offensive linemen this early in the season. Opposing run defenses can load up to one side since Gibbs doesn't trust the right side of the OL. Somebody made the great point in an earlier thread that Gibbs adjusted from his "Air Coryell" philosophy after starting his first stint 0-5. He essentially played to the strength of his personnel. I won't pretend to know what that is with this team, but as head coach, it's Gibbs's responsibility to find the team's identity.
