Comparing that articles description of Saunders' vaunted offense, and the performance of the Redskins offense last night is a joke, just like this remark:

In 35-year-old Mark Brunell, Saunders saw a quarterback comparable to Green: smart enough to adjust to an attack predicated on reading defenses and precision timing.

Really? Where was the adjustment to the attack of nine in the box on a halfback dive play? And there are some contradictions, or perhaps just differences in verbage, but how are quarterbacks and receivers supposed to "adjust on the fly" without some type of cummunication? If it's supposed to be strictly based on instincts and timing, Brunell can't handle it at this point in his career. He may be a smart quarterback, but when his instincts tell him, "first option or give up", he's not the man to lead Saunders' complicated offense.
