That's just patience at its best.

Good point....Brunelle's passes left his hand in 3 seconds...Mannings 5 secs or so.....check down. 1 of the cover 2's weaknesses. Gotta have some quick backers. Kudos to Dungy's rain and non-rain game plan. GREAT coach!

Also a good point. Manning probably has more confidence in his blockers than Brunell does in his. Not sure whether thats the lines fault for having poor pass pro or Brunell's for not trusting them (likely both), but Brunells ave. yards per attempt this year were similar to Mannings yard per attempt from the playoffs, so I think its a lot of that same patience factor.

It helps immensely to have a defense.
