Al Saunders
 

Al Saunders won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Then came to Kansas City with Vermeil along with some other of the Rams staff. He was named the OC and they brought in Rams QB Trent Green. He had one of the top offenses in the league for 4 years.

Now he is the OC in Washington with back up QB Todd Collins and practice squad phenom Richard Smith.

Can Saunders strike gold a third time? If so how long will it take? Have other coaches gone on to success with their third team?

Questions that need answers or opinions.

I think he'll do fine and I wish we'd kept Richard Smith.

The Skins were very close last year. If he gives them any sort of offense they could be very scary this year.

He is a bit conservative for my taste, but he could be the bump that the Skins need.....

Wait.

The most common bitch about Al around here was that he lacked conservatism.
That he liked to get cute with his play calling.

And you think he was too conservative?

yes.

Actually Saunders was just the QB coach with the Rams , Marts was the OC.

I have a strong feeling then, that you are going to like Mike Solari as much as I like Gunt.

I LOVE GUN, he is awesome!!

You never get tired of triple reverse fake come back passes for a 2 yard gain.

Yeah, so?

I am not talking about that kind of shit. I am saying that Saunders was SSSSOOOOOO predictable. Or someone was. Mix it up a bit. Part of play calling HAS to be catching the other team flat footed.....unaware. If you run the same play, in the same situation, the same thing happens as when the Faiders got squelched by the Bucs, in the Bowl.

Sometimes ya just gotta run an unsuccessfull play to set up a game winning long play. Play calling isn't just calling 1 play. Or run this exact play in this situation.

I can agree with that. Al was so cutesy you could predict it. 3rd and 9? Pass to Dante one yard from the LOS.

I think we can find someone else to drop passes.

How can you possibly criticize Al Saunders???? The guy ran the #1 offense in the league for the last how many seasons? This O has put up some stats that equal the best offenses in NFL history. Yet he was too predictable? LOL, that is laughable.
