I begged to differ. I remember hearing former Redskins players under Gibbs I say that he [JG] would kick or throw chairs in the locker room during halftime if the 'skins were not playing well. Seemed to work just fine.

Never heard that. I might believe he may have done this back in the 80's but not his last four years.

Yeah I didn't hear about it in 2.0 but heard he was big on flipping the gatorade tables in the 80s

Of course in the 80s it was a totally different league, climate and game. The "changes" to the NFL have been, for the most part, negative. Quarterback rules, pass interference, inconsistent referees..just seems to be a lot less fun. Players had a different attitude back then too.
