Would You Play Campbell vs Ravens?

12thMan · 08-20-2007, 01:50 PM

If I'm coach Gibbs, the kid rides the pine this week, and proably next week too.

But my real question is who starts against the Ravens, Collins or Brunell? And should we read anything into Collins starting?

Here we go again.

Sit JC and start Collins.

Campbell is a MUST play this week if he is healthy. There is no risk of further injuring his knee. He NEEDS the reps. Even if its just a couple series. We don't need him trying to get comfortable still in week 2 on MNF @ Philly and week 3 against the Giants at FedEx. In my opinion, this is a risk that we MUST take (assuming he can cope with the soreness). We cannot afford to have a slow start this year.

Exactly! He needs to continue to get all the work that he can because we need to win our division games the first time around and not NEED a division win later on down the line.

Exactly. He also needs to prove that hes not scared or favoring his knee and he needs to hold on to the ball when he gets hit. If he has any more fumbles this preseason then hes gonna get blitzed all day long come the regular season, he needs to over come this quick (what a better way then vs. bmore's D)

Put him in for 2-3 series and sit his but down. You guys are right. If he sits for 1-2 games his warming up period gets shifted to the first few weeks of the regular season and we might get into trouble quick.

jbcjr14 · 08-20-2007, 02:41 PM

If he can practice by Thursday, then yes you play him a couple series to get the reps. Especially against a very good Ravens team.

Riggo44 · 08-20-2007, 02:43 PM

I agree with all of you. Campbell really needs to play as much as possible before the season starts.

dmek25 · 08-20-2007, 02:44 PM

if he can go, play him. at least a couple of series. and i think Collins played his way into the backup role. if that is the case, then Brunell should be cut

The Zimmermans · 08-20-2007, 02:45 PM

NO, BENCH HIM!!!!!! without the O-line in tact, it is way too risky, he seems comfortable and he knows the offense. Never start your recently injured franchise QB with both tackle positions in question. CMON GUYS

No one is denying that he KNOWS the offense, but he needs all of the practice executing it that he can get.

He can play through a bruise.

He should get 1 quarter of play. It gets his work in and limits the chance of injury.

Remember, he still hasn't played a whole season, he needs work. Sure, he has an incredible amount of talent, knowledge and he's a physical monster for a QB...but practice makes perfect.

Play him.

MTK · 08-20-2007, 02:48 PM

If JC is healthy and can play, by all means get him back in there.

mooby · 08-20-2007, 03:03 PM

Yeah, if Campbell is healthy and has practiced at least once this week, put him in this week's game. He needs all the reps he can get. If he can't go this week then next week put him in there for a quarter or maybe even the half. The third preseason game is when starters get the most work. I just want him to get work in before the season starts because we can't have him adjusting to the starting role during the season.

Monkeydad · 08-20-2007, 03:05 PM

First vote.

12thMan · 08-20-2007, 03:05 PM

I just don't like the idea of him taking another hit on that knee before he needs to.
