Brunell sucks - Ends Game with 2/5 passing

[onlydarksets]

He didn't need to go deep for that game because Houston's D is so atrocious, but we need the option against everyone else on our schedule. I'd rather try a couple of deep routes in a game like this where getting one picked off doesn't affect the outcome, as opposed to trying it for the first time against the Jags, where we will need something like that to stretch their D.

He hit Patten on a nice rope for 25.

I don't worry about his arm strength at all.

All he needs is to get comfortable in this offense and with his new WRs.

Totally, I was glad to see that

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.

Yea and patten was facemasked that play...but ha still ended in a TD!!!...and wow did randel el look nice yesterday!!!

[DaveyFoSho]

they needed Duckett's space on the active roster for an extra TE.

yeah it was good to establish the run even further on 2nd and 1, but man at least one of those would've made a nice play action pass to Moss in the endzone..

The game of football is all about momentum. This is a good start for some momentum the team was lacking in the first two games. Anytime you can put up 495 yds of offense in the NFL is a good day and I don't care who you are playing. Let's hope with the talent on this team, the return of Springs they can build on this momentum and get on a roll.

Why Are't We Getting Jc Any Reps? In The Fourth Quarter Of Ths Game Brunell Mostly Just Handed The Ball Off. Wouldn't This Have Been A Good Time To Put Jc In. Sooner Or Later We Need To Start Developing A Long Term Franchise Quaterback To Be Successful In This League. (ie. Eagles/pats/colts.......) We Can't Just Keep Bringing In Vets With 2-3 Years Left.

Yeah handing the ball off would have really benefited him.

HANDING THE BALL OFF WOULD HAVE DONE MORE FOR HIM THAN MARK BRUNELL. MARK'S BEEN HANDING THE BALL OFF FOR 14 YEARS IN THIS LEAGUE. AND HOW MANY GAMES HAVE JC BEEN IN? OH OH I KNOW !!!! 0
REMEMBER THIS IS HIS 6TH YEAR WITH A DIFFERENT OFF COORD....

Please elaborate, how would have coming in the game and handing off benefited Jason Campbell??

Does he really need work on his RB exchanges?

It would have prevented our starter from getting walloped on that fumble return. No benefit to Campbell, I agree with MK72 there, but I would think they would be a little more wary of injuries.

FOR ONE HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN GAME SPEED EXPERIENCE, HE COULD GET REPS WITH MOST OF THE FIRST TEAM OFF. NOT TO MENTION THE EVER SO VALUABLE QUATERBACK CENTER EXCHANGE. I MEAN YOU DID SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO DAVID CARR AND HIS CENTER..LOL I THINK ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO START GETTING JC READY. IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR THIS YEAR BUT IN MOP UP SITUATIONS THE FUTURE OF THIS TEAM SHOULD BE ON THE FIELD.. WHO KNOWS WHAT IF MB GETS HURT AND JC HAS TO PLAY THIS YEAR. (WHICH IS VERY POSSIBLE). WOULD YOU WANT A QB IN THERE WHO HAS 0 REPS OR A QB IN THERE WHO AT LEAST HAS BEEN GETTING SOME REPS IN THE GAME, EVEN IF ITS ONLY HANDING THE BALL OFF...

Turn off the caps lock - it undermines anything you might say.
