Hey Guys, Sorry about the delay this week, Gman and I could not get in touch.
There really isn't a whole lot to say about the Philadelphia, I don't think any of us would like to relive it, so we'll talk about some of the changes going on around Redskins Park this week.
On the Quarterback Change: I’m not enamored with the decision, just because its not all Mark Brunell's problem. Changing the QB doesn’t create a pass rush, doesn’t make the LB’s play better, doesn’t help the Defensive backs, or changing a lot of mistakes. Brunell can't throw downfield, but at the same time, I think a lot of the problems are deeper than just chaning the quarterback. I'm very suprised they did not wait till their seventh loss to change to Jason Campbell.
On Jason Campbell against Tampa Bay: I would he think if Jason can just “manage” the game, with safe passes and not try to win the game, I think he’ll do fairly well. I also think he will do well because no one has scouted him yet, so no one really has a good idea of what he will be doing. If you look at Big Ben a couple years ago compared to now, I think he was better back then because alot of people didnt know what he'd do. No one knows about Jason, and I think he has the opportunity to do great things here, but he just needs to worry about managing the game this week.
On Portis going to IR and TJ Ducketts playing time: I dont think Portis has been well all year, health wise and it also obviously effected his play. In addition, I think there was some friction with him and Al. He needs to get healthy and going to IR is probaboly the best way to do that rather than getting banged up even more. Then you got TJ duckett who is a Gibbs type RB, I think Betts is ok, but he's easy to take down. Do not be surprised if Duckett is the featured the rest of this year and next. All he has to do is perform down the stretch because Gibbs likes a guy like him. A big, mobile hard to take down back who can see the feild. Don’t be surprised if he is back next year. If he performs, he’ll be here next I think and Betts will be the third down guy.
I'll be back in just a couple days to talk about the results of the game!
Thanks Guys!
