My back is still hurting from watching that play...

That was one of the few downfield passes that he had. If this was a conscious decision not to work it downfield, then fine - my trust is in the coaches. That said, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to test the deep routes (or even the 15-20 yard routes) at least a few times against a soft D.

However, I remember at least one play where the commentators conjectured that he wasn't even looking at the deep route and quickly checked down to a short option underneath. We are going to need to spread the Jags' D next week. I'm sure the coaches will put together the best gameplan that they can - I just hope it's not a matter of Brunell skipping the deep routes because he lacks confidence.
