What must Brunell do?

[offiss]

In order to beat the Jags he has to stand in the pocket long enough to allow the recievers to break free downfield, unfortunatly Brunell will be running backwards before the first snap. The problem that will encure this week that didn't happen last week is that the Jags will take away all those little dink and dunk pass plays and force Brunell to throw downfield knowing he can't, or wont in the presence of there D-line, I think we will see a lot of quick throws to players who have no chance for a first down, or he will throw it away before anyone has a chance to close in on him.

The basic game plan for anyone who plays us, force Brunell to beat you deep, no one believes he can, or that he is even willing to try. Goodluck running this week Clinton without a downfield passing game your going to need it.

offiss, I disagree with your statement as is, but you hit the main point. Last year proved that Brunell can certainly hit the long throws, especially early in the season while his arm is not tired. The problem this year (and it has been seen before) is that he has not been willing to step into his throws when pressure is in his face. That is what he needs to do to really make me believe in him again. I don't think he is throwing deep because he won't look deep for fear of getting hit. I hope I'm wrong.

Although toughness is certainly a virtue for a NFL quarterback, I think we have to keep his health in mind. We don't have anything behind Brunell. So he, at age 36, can't be pulling Leftwich's and stepping into injury. Just can't happen. Yes, he throws off his back foot more than I'd like and loses accuracy, but keep the big picture in mind here; he needs to make it through the season.

I get the feeling that if we are in a tied Super Bowl in the 3rd quarter and Santana breaks free on a deep post, Brunell will step right into a D Lineman to deliever the ball in stride.

Yea, the day your around to congradualate me when I hit the nail on the head. Which is most of the time.


It's funny with all the talent on display on offense how did we ever lose 2 games?


Offensive line did a tremendous job, Brunell had a lot of room to operate, it was a nice win, I thought Brunell did a much better job in this game than he did setting a record against the Texans. Let's hope he continues to progress.

Most of the time... right.

I do agree on one thing, Brunell had a better game this week than last week. I think the entire offense is settling down and getting comfortable. A running game and protection works wonders too. Go figure.

Just for the record I parlayed the skins and the over for a nice 300.00 dollar hit on the game, I do not put money on games based on loyalty, when I had plenty of time to really break this game down I didn't have a good feeling that we would win, but I did believe that we would find a way to score and keep it close, watching Moss turn that pass into a game winner was as sweet as it gets, a dramatic Skins victory, and a nice little 300.00 hit, how sweet it is!
