might be hurt?...i dont think so...thats brunell

Why give the game in the near future we have a shot at to the veteran. Let Campbell get experience.

[Gibbs'IllegitChild]

One more week?!!...if they lose?!!!...why wait?

[EternalEnigma21]

YOu know... he does suck...

And while I'm good and drunk... So does our entire O line. F 'em all. I'd really like to see a pass playwhere a guy can just stand there for 3 seconds or so...

But even when Brunell has time... He's such a pussy he throws it away... and what the fuck is with running the ball at the end of the first half, and not calling a Timeout back by 10 and not getting the ball back in the second half???

We suck. Fuck this shit... Get your hopes up guys... were gonna come out smelling like dirty shitty ass and make all of our fans look stupid for sticking by us and buying all of our bullshit jerseys (of guys who don't stay on the fucking team for more than 2 years anyway) and making us the 2nd most valuble sports organization in the fucking world...

SUCK MY DRUNK FUCKING ASS!!!!

vote and discuss

[EternalEnigma21]

done and done...

he hasnt done anything spectacular. He's so afraid of throwing a TO he doesn't try to make anything happen when he should. We paid top dollar for our recievers and when he decides not to feed the stands he can't hit them..

I'd bench some of our O linemen too, though...

[number21isabadman]

maybe we should try to get farve to come over or maybe just start campbell

[aehs77]

its painful to watch brunell

[diehardskin2982]

start campbell all i've seen brunnell do is manage a game well and I think that can be taught!

[EternalEnigma21]

where do you weigh in at matty?

Tonight was horrible but I'm trying to look at the entire picture here.

The OL was awful. It was a jail break everytime Brunell dropped back.

The playcalling was subpar. Run on first down, run on second, bingo third and long.

And what's with all the outside runs? Just doesn't seem to mesh very well with the kind of guys we have up front. I guess the counters and power runs are gone.

The offense as a whole from the coaches on down needs improving. I really don't see where replacing one guy is going to make any real difference right now.

Our best shot at improving is to ride this out for a few more weeks at least.

Right now I'm at the wait another week point. Brunell has played pretty poorly the past two games, but if he stinks it up against the Texans it will just confirm that he sucks, really really bad. I'm willing to give him a chance just because he hasn't had Portis back there the past two games. If he stinks it up next week vs. the Texans, it's time to put in Campbell. Brunell will either be retired, playing for another team, or being our backup quarterback after this season, because there's no way in hell we're going to sit Jason Campbell for 3 seasons in a row to give him time to learn. If Brunell stinks it up next week, put in Campbell, let him take his lumps and learn along the way.

I'll post what I wrote in another thread:

The whole offense looks out of synch right now, even to the point that I don't know if Gibbs and Saunders have really figured out how they playcalling will work. My gut is that there were several instances today, and on Monday where Gibbs wanted to overrule a Saunders call but was reluctant to. But Dockery can't pass block, the right side can't run block. Betts and Duckett look like they're running in slow motion (no more talk about Portis being just a system back please); the receivers are running 8 yard routes on 3rd and 9; Cooley is not cool, he's just ey (thank you Gmanc711 for that fine piece of writing there); Brunell is throwing floaters...nothing is clicking right now.

And I suppose the easy answer is put in a QB with absolutely no game experience because we're 0-2. I think Campbell will get destroyed out there, it would potentially be more damaging to his psyche to do that to him. Then again, who knows. He does seem a lot tougher mentally than a certain other young QB we just traded away this offseason.

One thing I would do is make JC the backup for all games, not Collins. Maybe you do like the Titans are doing with Vince Young. Let Campbell play a couple of series. Especially if the game is out of hand. I don't think he's ready to start though, especially the way the team is as a whole right now.

T,

Im not so sure that alot of the pass rush isn't caused by the QB play. Not all of it, but he hangs on too long alot of the time and wears out his O-line. And throwing a pick when they bring 8 guys and you have 3 guys running routes in unnacceptable...(even though it got called back). You should have a slant route open and running for 6.

They know he's not that fast and they took advantage to the max...

Good points. I think Dockery has regressed big time and I've never been a huge fan of Samuels admittedly.
