5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?

1. Yes and no. Occasionally, they don't provide a perfect pocket...but answer me this...has anyone seen Brunell step UP into the pocket to make a throw? Instead of stepping up, Scott Brunell goes further and further back. The problems on offense do not start with the O-line. We simply cannot get the ball downfield with Brunell at the helm.

2. The D pass rush is coming at us because teams know they can blitz with little consequence. Who is going to make them pay for their blitz? Certainly not Scott Brunell. You saw that last night. Everytime the Cowboys came with a zero blitz, Brunell couldn't make the throw...he missed ARE, Moss, Cooley, Betts in the flat on the first drive.

3. Our D can put pressure on the qb, but our d-line is built for run stopping, not pass rushing. Our linebackers are undersized and to some extent, more of a liability than people would like to admit, with the exception of Marcus Washington. But, our secondary, without springs, is in complete disaray. Springs takes away one side of the field and allows us to do what we are used to seeing from the redskins D. Without springs, we cannot blitz without being harmed. What we need to stop doing is rushing 3 on long 3rd downs, with absolutely no pressure on the qb, decent qb's will find the open receiver with guys like kenny wright in coverage downfield.

4. Our depth at CB is what it is. The problem is, we are missing a pro bowl starter and an integral position, especially for a GW defense. His entire defense is built around strong CB play, without, even GW can't cover the weaknesses. Springs returning should really make things night and day.

5. It's past time for Jason Campbell. I think that everyone at Redskins park realizes this, even gibbs...the only question in my mind is when it will happen.

5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?

1. Nope, everything is out of synch on offense.
2. Yup, you can't respect the run game if a) Ladell Betts stinks b) we pass the ball 70% of the time.
3. We can't blitz because we are afraid of getting burnt with the pass.
4. Springs is the answer, I believe he is the most important player on our D.
5. Nope, if we look like **** against the terrible Texans D then maybe but until then I believe we can still win games with Mark.

1. They haven't been great, but there were a lot of times Brunell had time. He looked scared.

2. Dunno maybe.

3. Maybe teams have figured GW out.. Maybe Springs being out is not just limiting our D, but crippling it.

4. I think we must Draft a stud CB next year (Do we have any 1st round picks?)

5. Definately.

5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?

1. No--> No one could provide enough time for him to be effective at this point in his career. It's really almost sad to watch. He's had a good career, but he's no longer a starter.

2. No --> The pass rush is coming at us because we don't have a passing game. With Brunell in there, our passing game is neutralized. They can play man coverage, and send everyone else. And why not?

3. Our D has been overachieving for the past 3 years. Did anyone really believe that we could keep winning without adding any proven talent. Many of these guys are journeymen. They try like hell but you can't teach speed or quickness. Andre Carter is a great example. Obviously has worked himself into a physical specimen, but he can't seem to beat anyone off the line. Maybe he'll show us something in the coming weeks, but don't count on it.

4. Shawn Springs is no spring chicken, and we've seen what Rogers does when he's on an island. I think he's still too green, but i won't give up on him after two games. I believe that we should have gotten someone in the offseason with a better track record than Kenny Wright, but hey, GW thinks he can do it with anyone. Who am I to question him?

I think that the penalties are a result of our defensive backs being overmatched at times. I'd rather have them hold a WR than allow that player to blow by. It's almost a smart move. Almost...

5. No- It's time to start Collins. Once we see what he has (probably nothing), there will be no reason to go back to him if Campbell messes up. We need to put that puppy to sleep first. Then Campbell will be free to develop without looking over his shoulder.

Sorry about the pessimistic outlook. I think there's a chance we turn it around, but we have to start this week. :helmet:

[pvkeeper19]

1. Is our O line providing enough time for Mark?No. I stand by my assertion that Mark Brunell needs exceptional line play to be an effective quarterback. Like I said after the loss last week, our offensive line is not bad, but it's not great. Unfortunately, if it doesn't play great, neither will Brunell. If the line can elevate its play to the level we have seen at times (and wanted for at others) over the past couple of years, Brunell can probably still do enough to make us a contender.


2. Is the D pass rush coming at us because we don't have a running game right now?That's part of it. Teams like to bring the blitz on us because they know that Brunell will a) throw the ball away; b) force a pass into somewhere it won't fit; or c) eat the ball and take a big sack after he backpedals another 5 or 7 yards.


3. Why can't our D produce pressure on the QB?Right now our secondary is not solid enough without Shawn Springs for Gregg Williams to be comfortable sending more than 4 or 5 guys after the QB. Once Springs comes back, the secondary will look much better. It sucks that our defense is that dependent on one player for success, but unfortunately it's the truth.


4. CB penalties and our getting burned on puke passes hurts bad right now, is Springs going to be the answer and should we look at grabbing a few young CB's right now and bring them along for some depth?We will not find the depth we need in the free agent market right now. If anyone can step up and fill in adequately for Springs, it's Mike Rumph. I was excited about Kenny Wright coming to Washington this offseason, but so far he has picked up right where Walt Harris left off last year: giving up big plays. Mike Rumph has looked steadily better even since we traded for him. Fortunately, we may not have to worry about it much longer.


5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?I don't think so. If the offense can get its act together over the next week or two, I don't think we'll see Campbell unless we are eliminated from the playoffs or Brunell goes down. Mark my words: if the line play improves enough to give Brunell a good pocket to step into and throw from, he will have as good a season as he did last year. That is, good enough to get us to the playoffs. What happens from there is anyone's guess.

1. Is our O line providing enough time for Mark?
Yes. All QBs get pressured. Brunell is holding the ball, scrambling into sacks, and clearly not seeing the field well.



2. Is the D pass rush coming at us because we don't have a running game right now?

Possibly. But I'm not sure it's really anything the defense is doing.


3. Why can't our D produce pressure on the QB?

Part of it the other QBs are getting rid of the ball. The other part is we cannot pressure without blitzing and we're not blitzing because we don't feel like we can take any chances. Our D-linemen are not real good at pushing collapsing the pocket, which is why we were the second leading team in passes knocked down last year. And Andre Carter is horrible. Evans should be starting.


4. CB penalties and our getting burned on puke passes hurts bad right now, is Springs going to be the answer and should we look at grabbing a few young CB's right now and bring them along for some depth?

Springs will help this, but clearly Carlos Rogers isn't playing well.


5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?


If we don't think we have a shot at the playoffs, yes put in Campbell to see if he's the future or if we need to draft another QB.

5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?

#1. No
#2. No, no one seems to fear the deep ball payback for a picked up blitz.
#3. With Springs out I believe that Gregg Williams is less aggressive in his playcalling. I think we had a similar situation 2 years ago while Springs was banged up.
#4. Springs will make a huge difference if he can get healthy and get on the field. I don't think that there is a young CB that would be any better than who we have (unless you are tlking about next years draft).
#5. I've been a staunch Brunell supporter for the past two years, but I am now beginning to wonder about our aparent lack of dawnfield passing. I firmly believe that if Coach Gibbs goes with Campbell we will miss the playoffs this year.

1. Is our O line providing enough time for Mark?

most of the time. His pocket presence and rush anticipation have been far from stellar. A lot of sacks and pressures were his own fault for not knowing where his protection was and where the rush was coming from. He's got to trust his blockers more.


2. Is the D pass rush coming at us because we don't have a running game right now?

like I said, the line's made mistakes but overall have been decent. It's a one or the other type thing. Either a guy misses a block or Mark adandons a good one. The line and Brunell aren't in sync with each other.


3. Why can't our D produce pressure on the QB?

because the coaches don't have confidence in the CBs to blitz. Last year, we blitzed and played man much less than 04. In 04, GW had faith that Springs and Smoot could hold up on man coverage islands. Now, even if GW will dial up a blitz, he zone blitzes more because he has to leave deep help for the CBs. It's really bad right now with Springs out, Kenny Wright has absolutely stunk up the joint. I think Rumph moved himself up the depth chart with a good game against the Cowboys, we'll see, but that CB position has got to be more settled before we can expect Greg to call more blitzes. Also, we've actually had many plays where we only rushed 3, sometimes even 2 (like last night, in the 4th quarter when Griffin dropped off a 3 man line into coverage) so the 4 man rush isn't even getting and overwhelming number of opportunities to make plays.


4. CB penalties and our getting burned on puke passes hurts bad right now, is Springs going to be the answer and should we look at grabbing a few young CB's right now and bring them along for some depth?

I think once Springs is back and he and Rogers are starting we'll be much improved. Also, Rumph seems to be stepping up and taking over that nickel spot. He's got the pyhsical skills but he's got to stay healthy. By years end, with Rumph and Roger's progression (assuming we stay healhty) this could be a real strong group.


5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?


No, not yet.

[Joe Gibbs II]

The problem he puts on himself with the o-line (may not be all his fault) but he tends to drop back to far or move the pocket to the wrong place in which he then runs into a Defensive lineman. He is smaller for a QB so he does need to see over the line.

Its not all his fault, but sometimes you see that he causes it.

1. Some of the time, but certainly not at a level they should be.

2. Yes, when Portis get back that will change.

3. Can't really blitz and leave the corners in man to man situations.

4. I believe Springs is the answer, he brings experience and talent.

5. I believe so, Brunell has a good run in his career, but I think he is done.

1. Yes and no. There is room for improvement but I think that they have no confidence in him and that is affecting their work ethic to cover for him
2.Yes and no. Its also because they know we dont have a QB that can beat them deep.
3. Not sure yet.
4. Yes, yes and yes!
5.Hell yes!!!

1. NO they suck right now
2. NO there worse then the O line
3. No idea , didnt look like we were blitzin much i think GW dont trust are corners like he dose with springs in.
4.PLAY RUMPH hes a good player trust me on this, Wright covers about as good as me.
5. no its time for gibbs to call the plays

[GibbsFactor]

A couple thoughts that you are welcome to reply to.

1. Is our O line providing enough time for Mark?

Not at all, with out an effective running game our oline has no chance to protect and they are getting beat. Why? Perhaps they aren’t as good, or its just that the o-line is tee’in off on the pass. But with that excuse, why aren’t QB’s like Mcnabb or Payton getting murdered? Their o-line is better.




2. Is the D pass rush coming at us because we don't have a running game right now?

I don’t think its only because of that. Look at the Eagles and Colts. there’s more to it.




3. Why can't our D produce pressure on the QB?



Because we can’t blitz. Our dline is specialized to stop the run first. They aren’t pure pass rushers except for now Carter who is under achieving. We need blitzes to reduce the doubles on our linemen. Can’t do that with the secondary being suspect.


4. CB penalties and our getting burned on puke passes hurts bad right now, is Springs going to be the answer and should we look at grabbing a few young CB's right now and bring them along for some depth?



You get holding penalties when you’re getting beat. You get PI penalties when you are getting beat. Our secondary is getting beat. Springs will help because he is a very very good corner and Carlos isn’t there yet. We can then take Wright and Rumph and use them in nickel and dime. We need better one and two corner play, simple as that.


5. Is it time for Jason Campbell?



I don’t know. If Brunell steps up and has a decent game next week, how long is that going to last? Brunell hasn’t done a whole lot since the 49ers game. That was a long time ago. I’d like to see a high octane offense and a high octane defense. That would be so much fun and we can’t do it with Brunell’s noodle arm.

3.We have not had a true pass rusher for a long time.Carter is not helping he looks like s***.

4.Springs will help,but who says he stays healthy after he comes back.Rogers needs to step up and the means catching easy INTs.

5.Yes we gave up a first round pick for the guy.Brunell is old and it shows.

[FrFan]

1 No

2 Yes
3 Simply because we don't have any good DE
4 Probably
5 Yes
