Three circumstances that could have affected his play will not be prevelant this season: Changing teams, pressure of a huge contract in a different City, and learning a new defense. I'm hoping he too is out to demonstrate that he's a better player than he showed last year. I'll be satisfied with him at least having that opportunity.

Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE A.A. to live up to expectations, but did anyone other than me notice how SLOW he always looked on the field?? I hope he spends the entire offseason with parachutes tied to his back and weight vests on. He needs to be faster. Period.

And Brunell was injured most of his first season here. A.A. was healthy and just flat out stunk.
