Pages : [1] 2 3 offiss 11-09-2006, 11:50 AM Is it any wonder that Brunell has yet to be injured since he arrived? I never even see the guy get hit hard, if our line is as bad as some say how come this hasen't happened? I really and truly never want to see someone injured, but I find it kind of funny that a QB as old as he is with a line that apparently can't pass protect, seem's to stay healthy enough to never miss a game? IIIIIIIIIRONIC! hesscl34 11-09-2006, 11:53 AM He's not a quitter! (I feel another long drawn out Brunell conversation coming on - ugh!!) 61cad 11-09-2006, 11:54 AM Cowboys even stated that the Skins "O" line played well. Really! This year Brunell is one of the least sacked if not the the leasted sacked QB. Jason72 11-09-2006, 11:54 AM Even more ironic when you consider Brunell had rarely been trough a season without missing a game in his entire career! hesscl34 11-09-2006, 11:55 AM Cowboys even stated that the Skins "O" line played well. Really! This year Brunell is one of the least sacked if not the the leasted sacked QB. They had to hold the shi+ out of us to even make a play!! GRRR! Dirty Dallas! Monkeydad 11-09-2006, 12:08 PM What are you talking about, he's had plenty of injuries! None major, but remember 2004? He wasn't healthy all year.

That's the problem with stats. It's all how you interpret them. Although our line has had games with decent protection, he has been chased all over the field righteously most of the season. He also unloads the ball rather than take the sack Hog1 11-09-2006, 12:27 PM Is it any wonder that Brunell has yet to be injured since he arrived?

IIIIIIIIIRONIC! How's Ramsey's health? Any bench related injuries this season? Any splinterectomies performed? Drift Reality 11-09-2006, 12:32 PM Brunell also protects himself well. It is not a disparaging comment, but rarely does he sit in the pocket and take a big hit. If he feels pressure coming, he will roll out fairly quickly and get rid of the ball or throw it to whatever side of the hash he has rolled to. The QBs who sit in the pocket and step up to deliver the ball, or the scramblers, are the ones who will have the serious injuries - Brunell is neither really. Unfortunately, the QBs who wait in the pocket are also the ones who tend to deliver a lot of intermediate-to-deep passes, which Brunell also doesn't really do.

IIIIIIIIIRONIC!I don't think anyone has ever questioned his toughness. (Well, maybe RR, but he also wanted to see him put up 36 2nd half points) He does seem get hit around a lot in some games, and little in others, @ Dallas, @ Indy, @ NY hes been hit up pretty bad. Our line is by no means bad, just inconsistent at times.
