The Sports Junkies are about to talk to an ESPN source in reference to a rumor about Campbell possibly starting this weekend. I'm going to listen to it, but I wanted some other people to hear it too. If anyone is in a position to listen to an internet stream, go to www.donandmikewebsite.com (http://www.donandmikewebsite.com) and click on the "listen live" on the left side of the home page.
It could be crap, but it should still be an interesting listen. I'll post what I hear after they talk to the source.

From the sounds of it, they can't get him on the phone. They didn't say who the ESPN source is, but I have a feeling it's Chris Mortenson. Supposedly, there's been rumbling that since Brunell isn't 100% and Campbell has been taking most of the snaps since the Colts game, Campbell would be the starter Sunday, but Washington is trying to keep it quiet.
It could be complete crap since Mort likes to push rumors as fact occasionally, but there could be some truth to it. It's not too crazy to think that Gibbs would sit the possibly injured Brunell that hasn't practiced in a couple weeks, in favor of the healthy, possibly prepared Campbell.

If I'm not mistaken, Brunell practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. While injured, yes Campbell has been taking more and more snaps, but I think it's a ploy. Brunell will be under center on Sunday.

He practiced fully yesterday and Gibbs says he, "looked great." Blah. :(

This is the same thing that's going on Jacksonville. Leftwich was hurt and Garrard took the snaps. Garrard is gonna be the starter this weekend and he's not anywhere near the QB Leftwich is. Brunell's been hurt, Campbell is taking the snaps. Why not start the kid?

I wish. But Brunell is the son Gibbs never had.

I thought Brunell was the daughter Gibbs never had...
I was going to start a thread the other day about this but in the interest of not having another QB thread I decided against it.
I've been wondering all week if there is any possibility that Campbell will start and the coaches are just keeping it under wraps to keep Campbell from getting hammered all week by the media.
