I don't expect Brunell to suddenly get younger legs, or become Peyton Manning. all i can ask of Brunell right now is too look over the MIDDLE somemore, especially when a game is on the line. don't you all agree?

even the most grizzled veterans have bad habits: Beldsoe, waits too long. Favre, forces it. etc. etc. Brunell is no different, and was clearly illustrated to be his penchant for throwing to the sidelines (in the valid attempt to avoid INTs). and this is throughout his career, not just since becoming a Skin.

well, it's made him easy to gameplan against, especially since the commonplace Cover-2 is tailormade for limiting outside passes to a tiny intermediate window (see Jax).

i know we don't have a possession receiver, and while Cooley kind of fits that role, its also only for intermediate throws. Brunell DOESN'T LIKE to throw deep except near the sidelines. Moss blowing past the MIDDLE of the Quarter defense of Dallas was SO unexpected, that they didn't CHANGE THE COVERAGE and allowed a 2nd TD!

is it wrong to ask for Brunell try more risky throws (incl. over the middle)when the game is on the line?
