That said, I hope Saunders is more cognizant of Brunell's penchant for poor play when injured and sits him down quickly when it's obvious that he's not 100%. Gibbs is so loyal to his vet that I think he leaves his in their too long when he's hurt. Hopefully Saunders is comfortable enough in his #2 QB, whomever that ends up being, to go to him quickly when Brunell gets a hammy or knock on the knee.

Good assesment. I think if there is a knock on Gibbs it could be he's loyal to a fault.
