I'm afraid the D may be a tad weaker than last year...I was really bothered by the lack of rush against both the Bears and the Pukes. We're going to need more than the 0 to 14 point I think Brunell might be capable of getting us each week, especially since I'm convinced he can't play four quarters without costing us 3 points or more with interceptions or bonehead plays. What really bothers me though is that I'm convinced his presence on the field will allow defenses to cheat up and close off our running game, possibily killing Portis. Those miracle passes will never happen again. I think we're a team on its way down...fast. After this season, we're going to have more players than just Ramsey wanting to jump ship. I think Portis will ask for a trade, if living.
you are describing my nightmare in perfect detail!
