But I really hope we don't just keep talking about him, or Ramsey, or Shuler, or Humphries, etc. I'd love it if we can just focus on Campbell and his performance now. I mean how long have we been waiting just for the chance to talk about his on-field performance? Well, now we finally have that chance

I agree. I admire GTripp's eloquent and steadfast defense of Mark Brunell. Better to be a contrarian than a chameleon.

And to your second point, yeah. Not much we can do now but wait for the game to be played.

So according to "advanced statistics," if Campbell had played yesterday we would have scored -1 pts?? MB is afraid to throw down the middle of the field, and can't throw longer than 10 yards to save his life. With all our speed at WR, its criminal to not take at least a few shots per game downfield. Brunell's avg. yards per attempt has got to be near the bottom of the list...

The 4 points a game is an average, not something we would lose every game. I bet Campbell could have put up at least 3 against Phili. But he wouldn't have gotten 36 against Jacksonville.

Brunell's yards per attempt are near the top (which has been my point all along). He gets a lot of YAC help, but when hes doing his part, it's hard to blame him. And if the defense has truly been playing up against us because they dont fear Brunell, then where did all the YAC come from? Let's face it, common opinion of Brunells year to date is wrong somewhere.

I think, as Gibbs said, they will tailor the offense to Jason's ( and ladell's for that matter) strengths. I am sure we will see some deep throws, more than we have.

[GMScud]

yeah, I mean truth be told, if our defense was even half of what it's been the past few seasons, we would have a few more wins and Brunell would probably still have his job...

At the same time, we had our chances yesterday to score and stay in the game (20 mins time of posession in the 1st half) and the defense actually made some stops, but we couldn't punch it in.

[GMScud]

I'm pretty much just itching to bash the hell out of our lousy D. Two things I hate: lousy defense and not running the football....

[TenandSix:Unacceptable]

NICE!!!!

let me in this conversation. whats going on

[RedskinRat]

Supreme effort from great players to turn Brunell's 'Pig's Ear' into a 'Silk Purse' play.

There's your explanation.

I think you're wrong.

That was easy.

But to give some actual hard evidence that you are off the mark, so to speak...

I assume you are talking about the "great wide receivers and tight ends" we have.

Santana Moss is producing at an 8.7 DPAR level this season. Very good, but no where near last year.

Brandon Lloyd's DPAR -0.4
Antwaan Randle El's DPAR -0.2
Chris Cooley DPAR 2.9

For sake of comparision
James Thrash DPAR 4.4

So the "Supreme effort from great players" given by Randle El and Lloyd haven't quite made them into replacement players this season. Cooley is a great player having a drop laden season.

It's Brunell's and somewhat Moss' doing that we have a passing game at all this year. Now you are removing a big part of that equation. Guess we will just have to run the...wow...maybe our offense is gonna blow this week.
