If Brunell couldn't move this team our offensive yardage would be far lower than 322 yards per game. The real problem is the running game. I said it earlier in the preseason that this team can not rely on a savior to carry this team. Portis maybe in over his head. If you watch him, he's not running hard or hitting the hole decisively.
Moving the ball hasn't been Brunell's problem. Getting the ball in the endzone is still the Redskins problem. Brunell has led the team down to the redzone enough times to win every game we lost. To me the play calling became one dimensional and predictable. No bootleg has been called at the goal line since Cooley's TD against the Giants. Dropped passes and fumbles are not going to help Brunell to be successful. The question that must be asked of Portis, is he helping or hurting this team? Right now he's killing us softly. No hundred yard game since the Bucs and this is what we expect from him.
