Passing: A Deeper Look

The NFL defines a "deep pass" as one that travels 15 yards in the air. This year they've started keeping track of that on a game by game basis.

So, since I'm not really a fan of generalizations -"Brunell never throws the ball more than 10 yards"-I thought I'd chart the "deep passes" I went week by week, QB by QB; including total completions and attempts and what percentage of the total completions were deep completions and what percentage of the total attempts were deep attempts. I didn't include such things as who won the game, were the completions for touchdowns, were the incompletions interceptions, etc. But I thought this might give a good idea of where we stand, compared to the rest of the league. (I sorted it by deep attempts)

Grrrrrrrrrrrr! Brunell never throws deep? What about the Jags? What about last week to Randal El??? What about the Dallas game in 05?? Come on! He CAN throw deep...... It's all about him wanting to play conservative which keeps him from throwing deep on a regular basis. But he CAN DO IT!

I can't, google spreadsheet boy.

Hell yeah... muchos gracious senor

Every now and then the sun shines on a dog's ass! And it is so with Brunell's deep passes. Come on guys, get real! With our WR's we should go down field at least 4 to 5 times a half! HAIL from MCUSA!

I cannot WAIT for you ALL TO EAT CROW!!!!!!!!!! .... OK, so I said it. I happen to be a Brunell FAN.. I know, one of the few.. but I DO believe that man has it him to do right by the SKINS!

you go ahead and start chewing and if you like it, I may try a bite in like 10 weeks or so...

Hess, it's not like any of us thing he's out to ruin the Redskins, he's just not in his prime any more.

Did anyone else see the third Ortiz Vs. Shamrock fight? Yeah, he's like Ken. The spirit may be willing but the flesh ain't doin' the trick no more. He'll be a great mentor for JC.

Can someone give me the jist of what it says. Google says my version of firefox is too high... I'm far too lazy to deal with it this late.

Brunell is an average QB, he just can't be relied on to throw more than 20 times.... this is where the running game comes into play
