No, it's because not everyone is as savvy as me, and I like to help out the slower folks.

Well, since we're already 2 games in and we'll face some tough defenses soon, I think Campbell will get his first start against tennessee in week 6.

Brunell's getting the start this week adn will probably play decently against the texans, so he'll stay for jacksonville. The jags are going to destroy him and we're all going to really be having a shit-fit but Gibbs won't want Campbell to start against the giants; so that will buy Brunell another week. Brunell will once again prove that he's too old up in NY, Campbell will get the ball for tennessee at home.

I'm pissed at Brunell, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this week if Portis plays. Sure, you have to set up the run with the pass and vice versa. Most teams just knew we weren't going to be able to run the ball effectively.

I hate to sound so negative Buster, but garbage time will be shortly if we don't right the ship.

I saw a brief interview of Springs last night, and basically summed up the defensive woes to a lack of swagger. He said the swagger will be back when he gets on the field.

I don't know why I forgot to bring this up before, but this is from Bill Simmon's NFL preview right before the season started...

To the dumbest plan of the year: the Redskins investing in two free agent receivers (Antwan Randle-El and Brandon Lloyd) and an expensive offensive coordinator (Al Saunders) to go with their expensive gamebreakers (Clinton Portis and Santana Moss) … only they're going with a washed-up Mark Brunell at QB again. How does that make sense? Does Joe Gibbs do this with NASCAR, too? Does he spend a ton of money on his cars and pit crews, then find the most mediocre drivers possible?

I think I wrote this off at the time that it came out, but seems like he might be right on.

in one of John Madden's more lucid moments, he also focused directly on Brunell not being the right guy.

I say lucid, because he quite astutely remarked on how much Brunell historically throws outside the numbers. as long as i've been watching, i've never seen the official stat before.

Yes, it was an insightful comment from Madden. Of course, with the national TV audience, now everyone watching knows how Brunell is struggling.

I caught that stat from Madden too, Ill. Very interesting stat.

On a side note, I'm impressed how this thread has managed to stay on track on different levels.

has anyone talked about that statistic that they had on sunday night fb? the one that MB was the leading passer outside the #s and the worst inside the #s.

can anyone make anything of that. i'd think it'd be tougher to make throws all the way to the sideline but maybe he just doesn't have the touch to thread the needle anymore? maybe this explains why he can't make the pressure throws in Al's offense.

i don't know i'm just speculating. it was just an interesting statistic. i know that we rolled out a bunch last year but worst and first?

hmmm...

[illdefined]

simply illustrates Brunell's "safe" style. it explains Brunell's low INT numbers (even tho he still got one picked to the outside last game...on the 1..ugh) and also explains how we've gotten by this long without a true "possession" WR.

thank god for Cooley, he's hard to miss and catches most anything his way. hopefully Brunell remembers him next game.

[hooskins]

It's because he has a vag.

[VTSkins897]

i don't know. i just can't understand how when someone brings the house on D that someone isn't open. he must be afraid to throw it over the middle. i wish i had spent more time watching KC offense.
