I was taught by many coaches that the game is won at the line of scrimmage. You could not be further from the truth. Our O line has been the reason for every sack that resulted in a fumble. Brunell can't be charged with holding on to the ball too long because he will throw it away. But when defenders are hitting him from his blind-side while Samuels is watching helplessly, its a shame. Chris Cooley has been horrible at blocking and yesterday was no difference. Cooley missed the block on Simeon Rice last week and threw his Gatorade cup in disguss because of his failure to protect. He has to play blocker as well as he catches the ball.
