Did you watch the last few games of last season? We surprised a lot of teams, but they quickly caught on. Our defense kept us in a lot of games, and, thus far, that isn't happening.

This strategy won't work against anyone else we play this year (maybe the Titans).

lol - I "crave" wins, not big plays.
Wins come from a pounding running game, which open up the passing game. If all of the passes are 5 yard screens, teams are going to catch on.

No, Brunell "threw" a 2-yard shovel pass to Portis. Portis ran through the swiss cheese defense of the Texans for another 72 yards.

Why do you want to put all of the pressure on our WRs and RBs to "make big plays"? Doesn't anyone think part of the responsibility is on Brunell to be able to complete the big pass?
