Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

It's all speculation at this point. And given the current offensive production, system or no, the drop off wouldn't be that dramatic if at all.

its all speculation that Brunell will struggle as much with Portis in the game as much as he does with out him. Until we have the most valuable piece of this offense on the field, its unfair to blame Brunell. Look at KC, fortunately they had LJ in the wings waiting, but there offense was geared around the RB. same as when he was in St. Louis. Faulk was the man. the WR and offense just doesn't move the same unless the #1 piece is in the huddle. In our case it is Portis. I wont judge anything from this game if Portis is playing because its Houston. I want to see the whole product on the field against Jacksonville. But, I think they can use Houston as a confidence builder (if in fact we play well)
