I really don't think he's injured.

Besides, it's not like he's the only one playing like crap. The OL has stunk, the running game has stunk, his play is just a reflection of what's going on around him.

Based on the title of this thread, I think the clear solution is to start Mega Man and his rocket arm

how'd you guys like Ladell and T.J.s inspiring pass protection? Portis has us spoiled, i'm telling you.

I agree. I saw duckett completely whiff at one attempt to block. and betts does he know what a block is?

Are you talking about that block where duckett kept the guy outside, but then brunell was too afraid to step up in the pocket, so brunell tried to run around duckett and the guy he was blocking sacked him? That was not ducketts fault. Brunell would have been fine it he just stepped up in the pocket.

If you have hbo watch inside the nfl and watch the highlights from our game and you will see. He ran right through Duckett. Duckett needed to turn him outside and it looks like duckett just gave up and down went brunnell.

I agree.

CP's value as a blocker is vastly underappreciated. Madden said he thinks CP and Edge are the two best blocking RBs in the league and I have to agree.

i think mega man could take chuck norris, and even give ST the fight of his life. but he is no QB.

Re: Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

I just stumbled on a post I did back in April regarding team needs.

http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-l...tml#post174780

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This team's number one need will not be addressed and could not be addressed via the draft: Improvement at QB.

It COULD all work out (and I pray it does). But the overwhelming probabilities are that the QB position is the landmine that blows up the season.

This position is very thin and brittle.
My point is not "I told you so". That stuff is pure BS. My point is quite simply that the current issues at QB were highly predictable.

The Skins have gone into the season with a 35 year old starter, a career backup with diminished skills and a guy who has never taken an NFL snap in anger.

The excuse that the protection, running and receivers are why the QB is not getting the job done are a bit hollow. I think it is the other way around.

Ummm... I know sarcasm is tough to pick up over the internet, but try to follow the context of the comment a little bit, before slamming someone.
