That play is a good example of why we have to play our starters a little in the preseason. Brunnell was rusty, not just physically, but mentally. He has been in practices now for months with defensive guys that are not going to hit him... or his receivers (hard) for that matter. The guys on offense need to get some physical contact to be ready for openning day.

The play was terrible, but I would rather that it happened against the Bengals now than against the Vikings in week 1.
