Look, its only two games in to the season. Luckily for us, everyone is 1-1. We have two very important people to our team on the sideline. Springs is one of the big leaders of this defense. We are just not the same with out him. Portis, has become a very vocal leader and motivator of this team. and not having him on the field hurts us tremedously, mentally and physically. I do think Brunell is playing awful, let me get that out of the way. But, I want to hold my judgement as far as benching him until Portis is on the field. If we continue with 3 and outs it creates issues on both sides of the ball. We can get no rhythm on offense and saunders offense and his calling is all about that. plus our D is on the field A LOT!! which wears them down. Our offense needs Portis to be effective. Look, we won 5 straight - 6 counting the playoff win - at the end of the season. And, everyone thought we would go 6-10, not 10-6. We still have the chances to play everyone in our division twice. (except the Boys) I get just as pissed off watching the games as the next guy, and the play calling and blah blah blah.... But we have to remember, Portis was our motivation for our team last year. He put us (ironically) on his shoulders and carried us to the playoffs. I believe our team will make huge leaps once our two leaders get back on the field. Brunell will have more time in the pocket, and will make the throws needed.
