Al Saunders - Page 4

blueballs · 05-06-2006, 05:46 PM

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.

His playcalling was only predictable in the fact that it wasn't.

The first year Trent came to town, Saunders looked very average and very predictable. When Willie Roaf went down last year, Saunders looked very average and very predictable. So yes he is a very good OC that maybe gets a little too cute sometimes, but theres no doubt that if he's without all the probowl talent, he appears to struggle.

2 years.

They have Gibbs, an uncanny defense, Saunders + Portis (Imagine Portis in OUR offense), and teh 0dd T0dd.

Lock for a SB in 2 years.

Teh 0dd T0dd locks it in as the next Hostettler...

His statement was uncannily Bad Girlish.

Their receiving corps is outstanding and Portis is good, but the real difference Saunders is going to make is with Chris Cooley. He should turn Cooley into an unstoppable player because Saunders is good at designing plays to create or exploit mismatches, which will be easy to do with a player like Cooley. Saunders is the perfect fit for this offense, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were a top 5 offense for years to come, even when they go through their necessary QB change.

Thats what will happen, If campbell is as good as the coaches say he could start half way through this year, but this is brunells last year starting for us.

I agree with you i think we will make the playoffs but not the superbowl yet, I cant wait to see portis is this offense, Larry Johnson is an awesome running back but so is portis and larry would have gotten 2,000 if he had started and played every game so i wonder what portis can do.

You guys playing the 49ers this year? Maybe Portis can get out his belt and strut.

Hell, the belt and his Bob the Builder overalls would be a pretty snappy ensemble for the homesexual football star on the go.

That's a pretty bold statement.

But you're probably right, as long as Daniel Snyder is buying free agents.

I'd put my money on the Skins before the Chiefs.
