Brunell reborn
I have never been as impressed with one guy as I have thus far this season by Mark Brunell. I will say it again. I will never, ever again question Joe Gibbs, one of the greatest coaches ever, when he says someone still has some football in him. We all thought Mark Brunell was done and all he does is throw for three more touchdowns and keep the Redskins in the playoff race.

Gibbs has ironed out and firmed up the protection for Brunell this season and apparently he knew more than me when he benched Patrick Ramsey. I didn't understand bringing back Brunell, but now I do.

What a stroke of genius it was to acquire Santana Moss from the Jets. Moss has been a home-run hitter for this team ever since he caught those two post routes to beat the Cowboys. Now, those two Brunell passes were as good as any quarterback has thrown this season.

Right now, Brunell is my comeback player of the year. He deserves to be in the Pro Bowl. You hear people saying that Brunell won't last the season, but so far so good. Gibbs is doing a lot of smart things with his offense. He is scheming like he always does to find ways to get Moss in man-to-man coverage. He is dictating formations to the opponents. If they want to roll their coverage toward Moss, then he simply gashes them by running Clinton Portis.

Washington has a serious chance to be good as long as the defense continues to play well and keep the offense in the game. The NFC East should be a great race until January.
