Coles had a decent game. Our offense with all of the bonehead mistakes that it made still outmatched the Giants in rushing and passing yards. We had long drive like 11 plays for 55 yds. This is why it hurts to see a team lose like it did yesterday. Too many opportunities. If the Giants should have scored more because of 7 turnovers, then we should have scored at least two more TD's with our stingy defense. We gave up only a total of 8 yards for the entire 2nd half. This defense can be very dangerous if they continue to play together.

From watching the first two games, Brunell doesn't seem to have the arm to get it deep. IMHO. I just haven't seen him do it. I did see him put some zip on a few mid range tosses but when Ramsey came in, you could see a difference in velocity. Even if it was just getting to the Giants defenders that much faster...

Troy Aikman made it clear that there is nothing wrong with Brunell's arm. Aikman said that he was very impressed by Brunell's arm strength.
Brunell's results have to do with other things, but not arm strength, if Aikman knows the finer points of quarterbacking, and I think its fair to say he does.

when and where was he impressed by brunells arm strength? yesterday? three years ago?
sorry, looking for some context ;)
In the Tampa game right in the beginning Aikman remarked how he was impressed with Brunell's arm.
I don't see his arm as the problem, right now it's just execution IMO. He's shown enough zip on the intermediate stuff, so far the deep stuff just hasn't been there for him.
Pasta Belly made some smart-assed remark how Brunell and Brad Johnson couldn't throw the ball through a payne of glass from 10 yards away, somehow I'll take the word of a former NFL QB over some slob journalist with a personal axe to grind against the franchise.
