I know it's cliche, but it all starts with the O-line. If our line protects Brunell he'll be perfectly fine for a long time. Unfortunately at his age if too many defenders get through he's not going to last long.

Unless ARE, Lloyd, Thrash and Cooley all crap out on us, I really don't see the opposing D blitzing alot or putting 8 in the box. Hopefully they'll have to drop at least 4 or 5 to covers the WR threats. If that's the case, I'm confident our line can protect Brunell and he'll make it as long as anyone else will.

The really scarey situation is if the line can't protect Brunell and he gets banged up. Then we put Campbell in, with no experience, behind a line that couldn't protect the first guy. That's bad news unless Campbell is friggin' amazing.
