My response to him and you is that Gundy is calling the plays to win the game, not a new job. In other words, the longer they take to score (i.e., run the ball) the longer their defense sits which will increase their chances of winning games. I think Mike did a great job Saturday calling the game. Their defensive line is relatively tiny and Mike probably recognizes that better than anybody. They will get worn down fast if they are forced to be on the field. Mike is calling the games to win, not to impress. Kendall Hunter was impressive. Who does he remind you of? JR,
