I think the slump we all saw during the last few games of '06 were a combination of things. I believe first and foremost that it was due to the injury of Randy Thomas. Clinton Portis was nicked up too. Then, you had a gameplan that basically had two receiving options -- Moss and Cooley. At some point, you had to figure that tougher, playoff bound defenses were bound to exploit those weaknesses. And yes, Mark Brunell on the whole seemed to slightly burn out.
Ideally, Jason Campbell has to really light it up for the upcoming preseason. He'll make it a whole lot easier on all of us if he simply takes charge, and shows the coaching staff that there's no reason
not to start him.
