I was reading on another forum that Brunell really hit the weights this offseason and got himself in really good shape. I don't doubt that he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder. In his mind he probably thinks he could still be starting... and since it looks like his time in Washington will be short he's basically auditioning himself for another shot elsewhere.

But Matty what happens if Brunell has a really good preseason and PR leaves via FA next year. Does Brunell stay on to "tutor" young JC?
