Notice the difference between their screens and our screens? They spread the defense out and have their receivers run routes to give the backs room to run and make moves. The Redskins use extra tight ends or linemen and have their receivers stay in to block so that the backs have no space to work in.
And by doing this, the Redskins TELL the other team's defense that there is NO NEED to set anyone BACK deep, since their play will be in the Redskins' backfield. Gibbs is now a clueless, incompetent old man, who would lose 52-7, if he had to play against the Joe Gibbs-coached teams of the 1980s.
The Redskins probably now
lead the NFL in
fumbles. The Patriots regular fumble drills in practice prepared them to KNOCK the ball out of Campbell's hands. There is a QB countdown clock after the ball is snapped.
Campbell is POORLY coached. He CANNOT stand there holding the ball
THAT LONG. He MUST throw to someone (on OUR team), or throw it away, or roll out, or RUN. The Patriots KNEW he'd be standing there, like a deer staring at the headlights. So they
went for the BALL, and did NOT try to tackle him. THAT's how they got to and won 3 Super Bowls.
One team (Bill Parcells-coached Cowboys?) played a game last year, where they put every single member of the defense up on the line, on FIRST DOWN, since they knew their opponent was absolutely too chicken to even TRY to throw the ball down field. I can't remember who they played; it wasn't the Redskins.
Please retire, Joe Gibbs
