or

B) Saunders isn't calling any plays to attack the deep and middle parts of the field?

If it's A, is Brunell checking down because our WRs and Cooley can't get open? Or is he checking down because he doesn't have time to throw? Or is he checking down because he has no confidence in going deep?

And if it's B, is Saunders keeping the routes short because he lacks confidence in the line's ability to protect Brunell?
It's probably a combo of all of the above.

Brunell isn't a gunslinger, and Saunders has dialed things back accordingly.

Bad fit on both ends.

Time for Campbell.
