I can tell you from the nosebleeds at FedEx that there often was not anyone open besides Cooley or Moss. That's the problem. If you are a WR in this league and you get single coverage you need to be able to get open and get open good. None of our guys were able to. Actually Thrash was not bad before he got injured but he got injured shortly after Patten and once Thrash came back he wasn't nearly the same. I am telling you all our WRs just weren't good enough. It is not on Brunell that these guys didn't give him any options.
