Surprise!! Rufus knocks free agency (again)

I don't think Gibbs will be nearly as successful as he once was. His glory days were pre-cap. He used to 'hide' players on IR for years. Can't do that any more - new rules are in place; the loopholes he employed no longer exist. It will be interesting to see how long he lasts in the 'new' NFL. Again, I think Snyder made an error in judgement re: HC. One of these days, he'll get it right.

I do not disagree with you ... but on the other hand ... Gibbs was smart enough to work the system and I think he has that same insight in the cap area. New England's BB seems to be able to work the system....

Plus, unlike Marty ... Gibbs has won it all.

We'll see. He is definitely a bright guy and a proven winner. I was surprised when he came back - his NASCAR team has been a huge success.

He does have a couple of things going for him: an envigorated fanbase, an owner willing to give him whatever he asks for, a very good defense, and a superstar RB. What he really needs to do now is fix that offensive line. If he can get that done w/o having to dismantle the D, that team will be solid.

I'm still not sold on Ramsay.

I can tell you the fan base, at least those that are vocal (the sports talk callers) are not happy with Gibbs.

Not surprising... like I said, his time was pre-cap. He's a dinosaur. It'll take him a while to adjust to the new league, or it'll flush him.

Did Gretz/Rufus poo poo the free agent impact of TO and Jevan Kearse? I must've missed that one.

His comments at his nascar press conference earlier this week about how his time in the nfl will be short and really short if he has another year like last year--riled the base considerably.

Their talking about how great Gregg Williams will be as HC. They must not watch Buffalo games here.

OMG. If Snyder hires him as HC it will confirm that he has absolutely NO CLUE when it comes to picking HCs.
