Time to bench Brunell? (Mega Man Merge)

But when the guy can't get the ball down the field,that's entierly different deal. You're telling me that these guys have Brandon Lloyd, Moss, and Randel El...and Cooley covered all the time, every play?

Good Point. I do think someone is open, but think about how little of time he has had to throw the ball when we are in those 3wr - 1te formations. Very little if any. any the problem with that is, they are getting pressure with 5 to 6 guys. leaving 6 to 5 defenders to cover the field. which in most cases is enough. And we haven't been 3rd and short very much, its usually been 3rd and 6 or more. So, while i do think some receivers are getting open, I also believe Brunell is being forced to throw it away before they are open or as in dallas getting sacked.
