or

B) Saunders isn't calling any plays to attack the deep and middle parts of the field?

If it's A, is Brunell checking down because our WRs and Cooley can't get open? Or is he checking down because he doesn't have time to throw? Or is he checking down because he has no confidence in going deep?

And if it's B, is Saunders keeping the routes short because he lacks confidence in the line's ability to protect Brunell?

I asked a similar question in another thread. Seems the consensus answer is it's Brunell's fault. Fear, lack of confidence, misalignment of the planets-whatever the case may be it falls on Brunell
