Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

good to hear Mcnabb is out the boot..sad to hear Mike Sellers is going to play...I hope Corey Davis take his spot

I personally only watch maybe 1 or 2 skins games the last few years and i was wondering Although Mcnab is an upgrade was campbell really that bad?or was it mor of the changing coaches every two years?was a 4th rounder not enough or too much in the Redskins fan opinions?

BTW, it's Mcnabb (two b's)... small thing but you've written his name a bunch so figured I'd let you know.

Campbell was fine, he just needed an ideal situation to be successful. Part of that surely had to do with learning a new offense every other year, part from being young, part from never really being in a system that fit his strengths and part from the oline not being good. Zorn's first year Campbell didn't have a turnover for half a season, then a couple of linemen went down and that was that. The biggest difference is McNabb feels pressure better, doesn't get nervous and won't turn the ball over even if he does get touched. The Raiders offense better fits Campbell's strengths too. If Campbell is decent, this year we should see him take a step forward... even on a new team.

I'm pretty sure it was a 2nd rounder but yes, it was worth it. The guy is in the same age range as Brady and Manning. It's not like he's got a foot out the door. He's also been to what, 5 straight NFC championships with a SB in there? I don't knock the Eagles for their decision, but the Skins didn't have a Kolb waiting, and even if they did, they didn't have a McNabb or stable philosophy to help get him ready. It was the right move.

McNabb-I was wondering why it looked wierd. And the 4th rounder was from Oackland too WAshington for Campbell, thats what i was asking about

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

my take on campbell, nice player, can't be an integral part of a championship. he could be on a championship caliber team, if it were the 2000 ravens or something, but to expect him to be a BIG part of it, no. he is a great guy, great team guy, but he is not a leader. he also has some fatal flaws for a qb, holds the ball too long and dumps the ball down to the rb's way too often. he has looked exactly the same in oakland so far as he did in washington. not necessarily a bad thing, just don't expect him to get fired up and win a game for you. a fourth round pick for what he is isn't too bad a deal, but he was a first rounder they traded up for, looking at it that way the 'skins got raped...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Well McNabb is not playing in the game against the Jets...I wanted to see him play, since this is the GAME for the preseason..hate seeing Rex Grossman already..miss Brennan (shut up)

Gotcha... yes, that's a fair price for Campbell. He has potential to be better and shouldn't be expected to do much worse.

watch you mouth about brennan. j/k. if good rex shows up it won't be that bad, if bad rex shows up the jets will score 21 on defense alone. that being said, i think they will be ok, won't embarrass themselves imo. also, d-mac is done for the preseason, won't take another snap in a game. shanny said he is not worried, that mcnabb "has taken a snap or two in his career already."

on another note, anyone see mcnabb interview today? kinda mocked albert, it was funny as hell...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I guess some of that Rex Ryan is rubbing off on Harbaugh I see:

Harbaugh also threw a minor dig at the team located the closest, geographically, to the Ravens. Regarding the recent preseason game against the Redskins, Harbaugh said, "We kinda ran over that team, and we're kinda proud of that, that's the way we ought to play."

Then, after the crowd cheered a little, Harbaugh said, "Yeah, that's right. That's what it was."

The thing about that, we was with them..they had to do a fake punt in pre-season to break loose. Also causing Kareem Moore to get hurt

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

So is 17 Pts still the goal to reach for the Offense again like it was last year?

[Checmate101]

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

I think we'll be alright scoring wise..Kyle/Mike and Nabb will put some points on the board

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

cuts is Tuesday...who y'all think will be gone?

[colkilla]

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

prolly fast willie, would give him a chance to catch on somewhere else. man, i think james davis, rb from cleveland might get cut. i'd like the 'skins to maybe pick him up. he was great in college and looked real good last pre season before getting hurt. now he seems to be caught in a numbers game. lots of ability and still only 23 years old. as it is i think there will be 4 or 5 guys on the opening night roster that are not on the team right now, but we'll just have to wait and see...

Re: Washington Redskins Official Thread

Redskins trade Dennis Morris to Rams for a LB...

also, Malcolm Kelly got hurt again in practice..I'll be surprise if he makes the team now. or they could put him on IR

MK has an injury history coming out of college. Man, I want to see what that 6'4 frame could do on the field but I may not see it on the Skins. Thanks Vinney and Mel Kiper for making this pick.
