[QUOTE="MidtownJacket, post: 829553, member: 959"] Appreciate the responses [USER=274]@CuseJacket[/USER] - also want to be clear I am not advocating for moving Gibbs out of the RB room to a full time slot guy. I am more saying it was frustrating watching us call him up the middle through gaps that weren't opening all day. Seeing him held to -10 yards was the effect of bad play calling IMHO more than his ability. You're right the coach doesn't call a "miss your block" play but by the 3rd quarter we should have seen that it just wasn't there on the day. Coaches often use something to show it and then set up future plays but I just didn't see that in the game. I didn't mind previous staff doing the "integrity play" of a gut punch dive over and over to keep defenses honest - but when it isn't there and we don't seem to be setting up something off of it then we run the risk of frustrating our players. Coaches don't care, and rightly so, about our head space while watching the games but I would hate to loose the buy in from players from them knowing their being asked to do something that just isn't working. That said, I agree 100% I was happy to see Gibbs getting involved in the pass pro as it has been an area of his game that people on this board have called out as a weakness (fairly or not, I loved seeing his get that pop in there).
