Can We Bench Brunell Now

There is no way that we could do any worse with Campbell.

That's what I've been wondering. Watching on TV, you cannot see if the receivers are getting separation. If they can get open, does Brunell not see it? Does he feel he doesn't have enough time to get the ball there because of pressure from the D-line?

Brunell wasn't really harassed by the Titans pass rush. There were a few roll-outs, but that's about it.

For all the lock-step Brunell defenders, I keep asking these questions: Is the O-line playing horribly, so much so that Brunell has no chance to find the open receiver? When the team commits to the run, are they having problems running? Did Moss, Randle El, Cooley and Lloyd suddenly forget how to separate from their defenders? If not, then what's the common denominator here?
