I agree with Chris...we're paying for years of mismanagment, and that's ok...but we need to make sure that we don't keep the problem going...

so, if it's really that bad, and we have to get rid of a lot of people, ok, that sucks, and we won't do as much as expected next year. but we'll also have ...

the best punter is one that rarely sees the field--screw the punter, let's make sure that our offense is good enough to keep drives going regularly this year...

good post--i don't necessarily agree with your conclusion, but you make good arguments...

if coach gibbs doesn't think campbell is ready, then there's no doubt, he shouldn't play. I just hope that the decision about whether or not he is ready will be made in light of some of the success that ...

i agree wholeheartedly with roybus14...if our defense, o-line, and running game look to be working and playing well, then i think you should go with campbell....

You build championship teams, you don't just luck into them. It helps to have consistent quarterback play when trying to win a super bowl....look at the two superbowl teams...both of their quartbacks (one in his second year, imagine that) are playing extremely well, and there teams are doing well ...

Alright, I didn't think it was throwing someone under the bus to point out they played poorly. And if you don't think Brunell, as well as others, played poorly towards the end of the year, then you have different standards than i do...no worries...

yes, the whole team wins games, the whole team ...

well, it seems to me that you are implicitly trying to use statistics to prove your point as well...i don't really know what other criticisms have been made recently about brunell other than his age, but they might be frustration more than anything...

as for those stats, hassleback had two tds ...

Yes, I don't think anyone is trying to minimize Brunell's contribution. But there's no doubt that towards the end of the year he started slowing down. People are often fond of comparing Brunell's numbers to Hassleback's, but look at their last game. We lost to a Seattle team without Alexandaer ...

Continued Gibbs: "We see a lot in practice. My impression is that he's very accurate. I think he's going to be a guy that can really roam with a football. I think he's going to make plays with his feet. I think he has a sense of what the pocket is. He'll slide. He's going to be hard to sack because ...

Coach Gibbs also didn't use a shotgun formation before. Times change. Coach Gibbs is doing what he has to make the team competitive, and part of that is the quarterback position. Oh, and by the way, we didn't sweep the Giants, only the Cowboys and Eagles.

There should be a competition in camp ...

I'm psyched about this hiring. What's great about it is that you know, based on the last few years, is that Saunders is a run first offensive coordinator, which is great for us. I'm hoping he can really put into place a good blocking scheme that takes advantage of our size.

What's most exciting ...

ey is not a tight end in our system, and neither is White. My point is that if White can be a solid H-back, ey can be used more as a receiver...his blocking at the line has improved, and he has pass catching abilities...so, if white can play the h-back spot, cooley can be shifted....

While a second receiver would be great, I also don't think it's out biggest concern.

I like that campbell is starting, but even if it is Brunell, the offensive woes I think are more about playcalling then talent. I mean, I'm not extremely excited about david patten, but there's no way that you ...

Ok, perhaps people remember something differently than i do, but i kind of agree with the post article...the gibbs offense is based on smash mouth football, but does require the qb to make some plays...

i mean, mark rypein threw for 28 tds, there were two thousand yd receivers, and thousand yd ...

If we cut lavar, then who starts at weakside linebacker? Are we excited about the prospect of warrick holdman holding down that side again? I'll tell you what, I am not.

Getting rid of lavar is fine, if it genuinely makes the team better. If you release him for the cap room, then you're going to ...

Umm, I'm going to post just so I don't get accused of only coming around when things are bad....

first things first--go skins...this improbable but amazing playoff run is doing a lot to restore confidence in the organization, and coaches gibbs and williams get all the credit for that (of course ...

I could be wrong, but I thought Housemenzadah was a free agent last year and was re-signed by the Bengals...if not though, he would be a great pick up

Oh, one more thing---what is our draft pick situation exactly for this upcoming draft?

I believe we have a 2, 5, 6, and 7th round picks...am I getting that right, or do we have more/less?

Ok, I'm not going to get into the TO is the worst man alive debate, but I do want to point out that the Eagles have made it to the Super Bowl exactly once in the last 25 years...the year TO played...every team he's been on has imploded, but both of them had serious problems---the 9ers had just come ...

If that's true about brunell, then that's a problem, and they need to get together and work that out.

I don't know, because as someone said, I only see the games on TV, and you can't see all the angles...

As for Reggie Wayne, I think that would be awesome, but I wonder if our cap situation ...

Yeah, no matter what, 3 picks in the redzone, several fumbles, and a string of incomplete passes is inexcusable, particularly against the cardinals...

oh, just in case you didn't catch the game, i'm talking about brunell---BY HIMSELF

I agree that tight end is a need, but our highest draft pick, whatever it ends up being, has gotta be a d-end. Unless we can address this through a trade or sign someone, we've all seen our defense get pushed around as a result of no pressure...

I think that without a first round pick, we don't ...

Well, hkhog, if you read my other posts (which i don't really recommend), i think you'll see that we actually agree...i do think this team is better than it's been in awhile...what i'm saying is that coach gibbs can't get a free pass for being coach gibbs...

and as for talent, there have been ...

Ok, well that argument would suggest that Spurrier is a worse coach than Marty, since he turned Marty's team into a worse team. The point is the talent differential between Spurrier's team and Coach Gibb's team. Determining that Spurrier ruined a possibly good team just means that he created a bag ...

I agree a GM would be great. I'd also like to see an offensive coordinator. At the very least, it leaves offensive control in Coach Gibbs' hands, while infusing a new perspective, and having someone who can coach up a young QB.

Having said that, there do have to be some changes on the field as ...
