Passing: A Deeper Look

[SmootSmack]

The NFL defines a "deep pass" as one that travels 15 yards in the air. This year they've started keeping track of that on a game by game basis.

So, since I'm not really a fan of generalizations -"Brunell never throws the ball more than 10 yards"-I thought I'd chart the "deep passes" I went week by week, QB by QB; including total completions and attempts and what percentage of the total completions were deep completions and what percentage of the total attempts were deep attempts. I didn't include such things as who won the game, were the completions for touchdowns, were the incompletions interceptions, etc. But I thought this might give a good idea of where we stand, compared to the rest of the league. (I sorted it by deep attempts)

Enjoy!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Brunell never throws deep? What about the Jags? What about last week to Randal El??? What about the Dallas game in 05?? Come on! He CAN throw deep...... It's all about him wanting to play conservative which keeps him from throwing deep on a regular basis. But he CAN DO IT!

Is he the TE from Maryland? I figured there had to be some background

[RobH4413]

No... but we're both cousins of him...

Joey Haynos is the TE from MD

WillH is the other knuckle-head poster



and then theres yours truly... humbly posting like a maniac as of recent.

I need to do a little more homework... and a little less posting though.
Calc 2 is a bitch, and I've been slacking.

We're all redskins fans of course...

Every now and then the sun shines on a dog's ass! And it is so with Brunell's deep passes. Come on guys, get real! With our WR's we should go down field at least 4 to 5 times a half! HAIL from MCUSA!

I love myself some Brunell crow and I would be happy to feast. I pray that you are right. But what are the standards? Does Brunell have to lead us into the playoffs for us to eat crow? Does that you mean eat crow if we are home in January? And What does doing right by the Skins mean? He plays marginally better or he turns the team around? I love your optimism, but it dont look good kid.
