ugh, we will lose again if our air game still isn't there. Gibbs finally realized Portis's strengths and weaknesses, we'll continue to see Sellers in as fullback and more pitchouts and tosses, Portis WILL produce this way (Betts too).
the problem is, if Sellers is in, we give up a TE or receiver and Brunell will be running around again and throwing it away when pressure comes. basically, this game will hinge on our receivers getting SO open that Brunell would dare to throw the ball to them AND close enough for them to actually catch it.
our defense will need our best linebacker spying Ahman when we send the others in to blitz. hopefully LaVar is ready, although i have confidence in Pierce to be able to track and tackle him. our DBs will have to hit hard cuz Favre is accurate and WILL get the ball in the receivers hands...thankfully we have some hardhitting DBs! Springs is big, Taylor is finally getting comfortable, and our smallest DB is 'Iron Man' Smoot!
Brunell is under the ultimate pressure now, especially after Portis's big day, the QB is generally considered the broken part of the offense. how he reacts to this pressure will determine this game and basically our season. it could make him think LESS to get him nice and instinctual with those clutch laser TD passes to Gardner we seen him do, or make him think too MUCH and continue having him throw it away or off-mark like we seen him do more...
question is, if he has a bad 1st half, think Gibbs would put Ramsey in? it's our season now...
