Essentially putting guys in positions and situations to see what they can do. Doing so with little regard for game situation et al. If we had gone out and tried to run a system in those games I would be very worried. Even a vanilla system. As it is we did not. We went out and worked on plays. We'd a run a play one direction then run the other direction on the next play. One game we didn't max protect but like 2 or 3 times to whole game. We left the o-line all on islands just to work on that aspect. We didn't run any system so why should we me worried when the O looked like poo?

When Joe Gibbs comes out to a post game conference like after the Patriots game and looks like absolutely nothing happened that should tell you something. Either the old man is crazy or he knows that what happened wasn't a real indication of anything.

You hit the nail right on the head.
