redskins offense/ bright spots

Campbell's stats at Auburn (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft05/tracker/player?id=8754&action=upsell&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnfl draft%2fdraft05%2ftracker%2fplayer%3fid%3d8754). Not great stats, but he had a very nice senior year. Remember too that he had both Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams there running the ball like crazy.

Campbell has been playing like he's stepping on the field for his first few games. He's inconsistent, yet has shows flashes of the caliber player he can be. The true test is to see how he does during the offseason, and into training camp, where it's been said they are going to work on his throwing mechanics.

Betts is a fine backup, and will continue to be so. The only thing I've noticed is that when he gets wrapped up, or hit head on, he tends to not keep his legs moving and driving. You learn from mistakes, and I'm willing to bet the next time he feels a defender move around him, he'll have 2 hands on the ball...

Overall the offense has played very well, particularly the 2nd half of the year. The offensive line has played better, and the receivers have been getting more touches. A tweak here or there should get this offense into high gear.

Todd Collins did say it takes about a year to master Al Saunders' playbook. Hopefully Week 1 of the '07 season is an indication of great things to come.

I was disappointed with the way our wideouts weren't getting open. Whether it was all on Campbell -- who did not have a good game -- I'm not sure.

But Moss was the only wide receiver who had a reception.

Obviously, this group needs more time.

Campbell is going to be fine. For those getting upset with him already keep in mind he's had very little time working with the first team and this offense hasn't been fully tweaked to suit what he does best. He's basically been tossed into a sink or swim scenario and he's handled everything with grace.

With a full offseason of prep ahead of him I guarantee he's going to be much improved next year.

Under the circumstances I think he's played very well this season and I'm really encouraged by the way he's handled himself.

JC is going to have to work his tail off in the offseason, though. A couple of coaches have commented on it (not in a negative way - just noting that the starting QB doesn't get to spend the offseason in Hawaii). I think he's got it in him, though, and should really start to shine a couple of games into next season.
