Marcus Spears Comments on Jason Campbell

Here's some bulletin board material. Cowboys DE Marcus Spears apparently isn't sold on JC. From John Clayton's Blog:

Spears rips Campbell: Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears made an interesting comment about Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell. He talked to reporters about the Redskins running philosophy, and he said the reason Washington runs the ball so much is because the team doesn't have enough confidence in Campbell to let him win the game. That probably won't go over well in the Redskins' locker room but it's probably true. Campbell has done well as a starter. He's put the team into playoff contention with consistently good play. But he's not like Tom Brady or Peyton Manning where he can carry the team on his shoulders. In his first full season as a starter, it's probably too much to ask of him.

Marcus Spears...he's been productive...

I really don't see anything remotely offensive in what he said so...not really any bulletin board material.

I think that's kind of stretching it to say he's ripping him.

i think hes just stating the obvious, however in washington that may be new news...

Yeah, rips was probably not the right word. But regardless, there's a Cowboy running his mouth about our QB. We play Dallas Sunday. It only happens twice a year. I'm fired up, and I hope the fact that any Dallas player making comments to the media about our QB and our confidence level in him fires our guys up that much more.

SS, can you change "rips" to "comments on?"

Is it that they don't have confidence in Jason Campbell, or is it that they scared of an interception more than any coaching staff in the league?

It's that Gibbs is scared to death of interceptions, not of Campbell in particular. It's why Brunell was allowed to play and Ramsey was given away.

I personally think that the offense never will find a rythem because of that very thing, Gibbs puts so much on not turning the ball over no one wants to take any kind of chance downfield, he just grinds this offense to a hault with his conservative approach, you just can't play that way, "the bird afraid of walking never learns to fly", the problem is he just will not change.

I can't find anything to get worked up about there. I'd be surprised if anyone cared at Redskin Park.

I think we pretty much put the ball in his hands and even gave him more control (no-huddle) last weekend.
