Remember, being a pro at something doesn't mean you're good at it, it just means that you make money off it.
and it really did come off as sounding like you thought brunell wasn't to blame for not scoring points, but it was the D's fault for not putting up more scores...

Are you serious? Gambling and winning most of the time is no comparison to having a professional career as an Analyst of Statistics. If you think your'e a kind of pro at statistics because you've won a couple of thousand here and there , then I would encourage you to further your career on a grander scale. I'm sure you've lost more money with Skins than you've won, unless you betted against them.
It was not my intention to blame the defense for the inept performances of Brunell. I was suggesting another way to improve the scoring until the offense kicked in. It is clear that the offense is at rock bottom. I was taught in high school and in college that "the defense wins games." That is to say that turnovers should lead to scores. The Giants are +10 in turnovers and that's why their winning. Not because of the offense because the offense is Tiki Barber and Warner has struggled just like Brunell. When our offense comes off of the bye, we will see a different look at the long pass. Gibbs mentioned that he's working specifically on the long pass which means more big plays. Because the scaled down offense wasn't successful.
Who needs Denim Monger when there are Redskins Fans on this thread who refer to players on the team as 'trash or he sucks' as a serious point to be taken seriously. The
