The subject of Mark Brunell is water under the bridge. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why we are 1-3. Clinton Portis 149 yds.= W. Clinton Portis 87, 94 or 58 yds = L,L and L. Clinton Portis three fumbles = 2 TD's in 2 games. The question that was just asked on NFL Network was, " Does this team still believe in Clinton Portis?" The answer will be answered if Portis does not have the kind of game that Priest Holmes had against the Ravens. Gibbs is very happy with the play of Brunell and it shows when he allowed Brunell to run a no huddle offense that was successful at moving the ball down the field in the first half. The bottom line is turnovers have killed this team. Brunell has not thrown an INT, fumbled or been sacked against the Browns. We need receivers who will hold on to the ball when it is thrown to them. Coles has not been the force that was expected and it has caught up with him. There will be changes at WR and RB, but not at QB because he has managed to lead this team down the field successfully. Last point, penalties were the knife in the back for the offense. 8/87 yards is ridiculous.
