Theismann's Good Leg
10-02-2005, 06:19 PM
Besides the one bad pass that almost lost us the game, I was very happy with Brunell's performance. He managed the game well, threw strikes on a few clutch 3rd downs, and even showed off his running legs again today.
Who said anything about a QB controversy?

that int was inexcusable though...we got lucky it didn't lose us the game...brunell is supposed to be the one who doesn't throw those kinds of ints

the ball was tipped, i thought it was more of the receivers fault because he shouldn't have even touched the ball, but hey, mistakes happen. overall a pretty good performance by him today.
He managed the O very well today. That was a very efficient, professional game.

its never the receivers fault for trying to make a play on the ball. It could have been ag reat catch, but either way it was a horrible throw and brunells fault.
Brunell looked excellent on the run, making some clutch passes. I cant beleive he even got that one ball to moss that was ruled incomplete.
Gibbs still needs to work on his play calling, and brunell is still not hitting players in stride. He is underthrowing players and not putting the ball where it should be.

if the ball hits the receiver in the hands he should catch it. not quite like going for the bullseye in darts. if anything i thought the offense played great and the D bent a little more than we've been used to.
great win though

Brunell looked real good with that protection. everyone knows thats our weakness, but it seemed like wasn't rushed to throw the ball the whole game, the result: hardly no turnovers. as good as he threw, he didn't attack downfield enough, and it really hurt our running game.

Unless it hits the receiver perfectly square in the hands it's always the QB's fault. On that pass Burrell should have thrown down and low so that only Portis could catch it. Considering time was running out I was surprised that we didn't throw to the outside instead of the middle.

Nonesense! The reciever had all he could do to reach back and get his finger tips on it, totally Brunell's fault in a crucial part of the game, luckly their kicker bit the apple.

what do you mean its not like hitting the bullseye in darts, I dont get what you are saying? Brunell might have a hard time hitting the bullseye on a dart board with a football. Which is just weird underthrowing a stationary object.
Brunell is getting a lot better, but the bottom line is the scoreboard... Im very glad to have a defense that keeps us in these games.
Heres to our offense continually getting better and makign our defense better since they wont hvae to try for a shut out all the time :)
