Stat of the week
JaMarcus Russell attempted 13 passes yesterday. His team lost 44-7 and was down 31-7 at halftime. Yet his coach has so little faith that he only called 19 passing plays for him (6 sacks) the entire game. Has a team in the modern era ever been beaten so badly with fewer passing attempts?
They had 7 first downs (3 passing,3 rushing and 1 penalty)
They were 1 for 11 on third down
They had 124 net yards (60 rushing, 64 passing-hey at least there was some balance!)
But Shane Lechler looks like a pro bowl lock at punter!
