Yeah... like Brunell last year when everything was running perfectly. As soon as Portis got a little dinged up, and Brunell was relied on to put points on the board, he fell apart.

Washington's "top defense" is ranked 22nd in the league, right now. While I do think the return of Springs will help, one player is not going to fix all the problems with the defense. Certainly not the main problem, which is the unit having to be on the field for 40 minutes of the game, because Brunell can't complete a third down pass.
