Please refer to him the correct way. The Battleship Lorenzen.

That's WAY too long to type. By the time I finish typing it, he may already have been cut.

Then, type faster... the quick blue and white battleship lorenzen jumps over the really slow redskins 17th string defensive lineman...

It's hard for our division rivals to be familiar with a scheme that's in its first year....

Our passing game is Seattle's passing game. It used to be GB's and SF's, its Bill Walsh. We kind of have the best of both worlds, we have the power running of Gibbs and the mad scientist routes of Bill Walsh. I'm willing to bet Mike Holmgren could take a look at the back of that play sheet that was broadcast on National Television and tell you every nuance of each play, because the words all mean something. I'm interested to see how Zorn gameplans Seattle and TB.

Sounds to me like a really big mistake by our coach - I imagine every team on our schedule is now getting a breakdown on all the plays that we have available - sounds like a disaster in the making




Give me a break some people love to get creative about this game and really show everyone they have absolutely no idea what is happening on a football field

He's already said he's adding 'extensions' to the playbook and nuances to each play. If you run the same offense year-after-year, you'll lose. Joe Gibbs said in his first tenure that the playbook had to change at least 30% every year to account for new personnel and to stay ahead of the defenses that saw them play the year before.

Besides, everyone in the NFL knows the basic patterns and tenets of the WCO. To think that seeing a list of the plays they chose to run for a particular pre-season games gives them some kind of advantage over us is ludicrous. That list will be different Saturday and everyweek, because that list is just of the plays they gameplanned to use in that particular match-up.

J-load is surprisingly agile. He has all the tools to be a star but he reads D's like I read Mongolian. I was really impressed with Horton bringing him down 1 on 1 for a sack. In college I saw DL's bounce off him.

Impressive!

I believe Gibbs said that "the game" in general changes 30%, can't remember him specifically mentioning the offensive playbook as needing change. Look the bottom line is none of us know how damaging the exposure of half our plays for the hof game is, some of you might be right and maybe it doesn't hurt us at all, I would rather not see that happen and have our playbook safely in the hands of an eye in the sky. The reason the Patriots videotape is because there are advantages to video taping, the reason the cowboys have lip readers on staff is because there are advantages to reading lips, I hope Zorn learns from that and I'm sure he did...I hope.
