Heard an interesting point about the passing game today by a local beat reporter. When asked if the receivers are getting open, he said that usually in the NFL, being "open" can many times be just half a step from the defender. On the intermediate routes, the deep ins, outs, hooks and square-ins, Brunell for whatever reason doesn't make those throws anymore.

Does it seem to anyone else that he either gives us the occasional desperation heave to Moss, or the 10-yard or less completions? The latter seem to be the only types of passes that get completed with any consistency.
