ROMO??? Why not JC???

I really think JC could give the team that much needed spark. If we as fans know the team isn't goin' anywhere with Brunell, don't you think the players on the team know that as well? I would think they would be frustrated with the same guy leading them. The Cowboys knew they weren't goin' anywhere with Bledsoe so Parcells benched him! What's so damn great about sorry ass Brunell? :doh:

frankly, Brunell himself could provide the spark if he just started making the throws it takes to WIN the game not manage it. the question is will he? (can he?)

Last season after seven games, the running back tandem of Ladell Betts and Portis had combined for 20 receptions. This season, Betts and Portis have 38 catches."Don't hurt me! I can explain! :cheeky-sm

I think this stat is purely product of system. Since in Gibbs' offense the backs would block almost exclusively on many passing plays, they never had a chance to catch the passes. Brunell would throw passes away last year, whereas now, he completes those passes to the back. It would fortify your explination of Brunell's increased completion percentage this year.

It's certainly been a positive change. Brunell is averaging near a half yard more per attempt this year. (6.7 in 2005, 7.1 in 2006).

I would argue that this is an instance of him grasping the system (Saunders' history involves a ton of checkdowns), but no matter how you explain it, it doesn't change what hes done.

I don't think he's been asked by Saunders to go win the game, so until he is coached otherwise, I doubt we will see him begin to make riskier throws. Of course, if the defense continues to suck against the Cowboys, he may have to (which is pretty much what you've been saying all along). To this point, the Skins offense has never had to be desperate. Hopefully, they can grab the lead and keep it.

Please, GW, get it together out there.

Not to say that Romo didn't play well, but if I'm Gregg Williams and I need to save the season, I'm thanking the football gods that I get to face Tony Romo and not Drew Bledsoe next week. Williams' defense hasn't confused anyone this year, and with Romo who is still very green, he gets another shot.

Jason Campbell will not make his first start against a division rival. He may play some in relief this week, but only if the situation appears dire.

It's a good thing your not Greg Williams then!

How anyone can say that we are better off to go against a QB who outplayed Bledsoe which is why he's starting in the first place, I really don't get it. Are you saying John Fox knows nothing about defense? We couldn't beat an over the hill lowsy QB in Bledsoe, know you think we will have an easier time of it against Romo? Did you not see the game we played against the Titans, how confused did Vince Young look? How confused did Romo look last night? I really don't get that statement, especially since you stated that Williams hasen't confused anyone this season. My guess is because we have done nothing all year everyone better watch out?:confused: :doh:

i knew you could do it. i'd agree it doesn't change what he's done, which is lose games without getting interceptions. not sure why're you're content with Brunell still grasping the system by midseason, but is part of Al Saunders system using the other receivers? just for reference, what are the Manning brothers YPA?

Look at Gibbs avatars. Thats the way he looks all game long. No passion no concern no urgency no excitement no interest no winning record. This is why will not see JC.


i like my avatar...

go skins

Campbell might not be able to outplay Brunell now, but he would deliver an intangible: a spark. Brunell gives me little hope that he'll ever do anything but "manage" more losses and an occasional win.

I hope you are right. It would be exciting to see JC come in and perform like we are all hoping he will some day. If the coaches decide that will be this week or next, I'll be routing for him. We all will.

If an employee at any job wasnt up to par in their duties and was constantly being told he had better do a better job or else but no repercussions came from it 9 times outta 10 that person would continue to do half assed work because he knows he can get away with it. But if the CEO,president whatever the case may be came in and said look ya slack bastard do your job right or your will be demoted,fired,etc... It may change their tune.

Ah the beatings will continue until morale improves.

They'll work harder, but only long enough to find a job/team elsewhere.

FIRST, I want to say that I am not sold on Romo being that great, I am not saying that he will be playing in the pro-bowl (so if you do have a bad comment about his play save it to yourself, I am talking about QB changes here), but here what I do see, he did OK against a good D.

This is intersting since Dallas has to play Washington next Sunday. This reassures me that Jason Campbell would actually do better than MB. If not, then you will know little more about your QB of the future and if you might have to draft another one.

I mean in the preseason JC would play in the 3rd or 4th quarter against the 2nd or 3rd Defense and he still didn't look like he could play that well.

The otehr thing is the play-calling, I was watching Redskins pregame on Fox5 and they were talking about how AS is not the one calling the plays, I mean he is calling them but with restrictions. They were saying that they plays the Redskins are running right now are very similar to the ones last year. They said the Gibbs is not letting AS open-up his play-book.

I have to be honest that I was not looking forward to the game next Sunday, but now it will be worth watching, who knows any given sunday a team could win. I am not saying that Dallas will win but hey at least it LOOKS LIKE we have a shot at a chance. Meanwhile, the G-wimps will have an easy game against the Texans, I hate them just as much as you guys do.

I think changes are good sometimes regardless of the position and I think JC deserves a shot. Look at Leinart now or remeber Roethlisberger when he was a rookie, Chris Simms did OK, Delhome did OK, Jason Campbell should be a starter.

your orgainzation did the right thing,....at least they realize a change needed to be made and not waited until the season is over to see if they can still save it..........Washington, cant win with MB,...period, they cant, and if Jason Campbell is not given a chance soon,....then JG and the organization is to blame.........F**k waiting.......now is the time
