I say one more week. I dont think he is operating witht he full potential of this offense. WE NEED PORTIS to be successful. Betts is just not good enough. When we see Brunell and this offense with Portis then it will be a fair decision. I just dont understand a lot of the play calling. Running wide on 3rd and 1 or 2?? Especially when you trade for a 265 pound running back and have a 270 pound full back(sellers). Betts is the only person that can get open out of 5?? I find that hard to believe. I did see a couple of ball that should have been thrown over the middle to a WR that was open. Now, saying that Brunell may know that he can not get the ball there with enough zip that he didn't throw it. If thats the case, then he has to go now. I have seem him put some zip on a few passes this year, so just not really sure. Now our O-line was being abused, and he got hit a number of times, so his eyes may be looking at the line man and not down field, who knows?? If we dont have a good showing against Houston, then I think we are going to have to go with Campbell. if we dont win more than 4 games with him, so be it. At least we will get that learning season out of the way.
