SOB In...Garcia Out!

Looks like Gruden had enough with the clearly diminished play of Garcia. Griese starting is only the beginning. Garcia isn't likely to come back as the starter unless he somehow earns that right back. Based on the last game he played last year, the preseason game, and the Saints game, I don't see it happening.

We know Greise can run this offense, and do a pretty good job. We also know he's prone to checking down too often and throwing pick 6's. If he can keep the intermediate routes in his mind, and stay away from the picks, we can go far. Ideally, I would rather see Luke get his shot, but I think Gruden is really trying to get a consecutive winning season, something that has avoided him since he came here.

The move is made and the team moves on. I think this move was made at the right time. He saw the weakness early and, unlike 2004, isn't waiting until the 4th game to pull the trigger. I just hope he's not afraid to go to Luke if Griese has issues.
