It's not Brunell's fault!

Remember, as soon as a D trys to get cute on us and puts all 11 guys within 5 yards of the LOS, they will get beat deep.

Brunell has thrown deep, but its WHEN he tries thats the problem. he's only willing (or able) to when he can step into it and no one's around ("never"). he can't do it on the run, and he's not willing to unless the reciever is far enough away from a DB for Brunell to feel safe in throwing ("never").

superlatives like "never" aside, its why you always blitz Brunell, because his tendencies are the worst kept secret in the league.
