Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

Apparently, Collins got the snaps becuase they assume MB is going to play. If they were sure he wasn't, they'd alter thier game plan for Campbell and give him all the snaps. This makes sense: if your going with a young guy, it makes sense to do all you can to help him. Since they think MB will play, they've kept their original game plan and Collins just steps in becuase he knows the playbook so well.

Sorry no link, but it's in todays WPost.

Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

There are two reasons why this injury COULD POSSIBLY impact Sunday (although everyone expects him to play now).

1. Throwing motion causes him "significant" pain.
2. This same exact injury was a season ender for him with the Jags when it became infected. With the near epidemic levels of staph in athletic facilities across the country, there is a real risk here.

That makes sense, actually. They assume MB is going to be able to start the game. If he should injure himself further during the game then Todd Collins, who's role is to fill in during games, will at least have had some practice snaps during the week.

CALM DOWN, PEOPLE!

It's a small cut, he WILL play. Maybe he just wanted to give it a day to get a scab so it'll stop bleeding on the ball. Geesh people.

:D

Yeah, the report that Collins is practicing instead of Campbell IS a sign Mark will play.

[quote=hesscl34;221040]Redskins.com lists him as playing, and I heard on the radio this morning that he'll be in the game. I think we are overreacting.[/quote]
overreact around here? people are ready to trash the season after 3 games. what makes you think anyone would ever over react around here?

Both Gibbs and associate head coach Al Saunders said Brunell is suffering less from mobility problems than from a high degree of pain when throwing.

I think he will play but it is a concern high degree of pain when throwing:blah:

Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

Let's hope Brunell plays, I'm sure he'll be out there even if he's not 100%. If T. Collins does have to play, and plays well, we'll then have a controversy right?

what do you do if collins plays,which i hope he doesnt, and lights up the scoreboard. there lies the dilema. but i look for MB to play sunday. He's got all weekend for that thing to heal pretty well.

Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

the washington post says MB is expected to play this weekend.

it wouldn't be a dilema, TC wouldn't light it up (no chance), but if he did (against the jags), then it's time to see what he can do on a weekly basis.

Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

stop reaching for the stars and stay on the ground... MB is going to play!!!

Re: #8 Out of Practice/TC Takes Snaps
 

[quote=JWsleep;220935]Brunnell was held out so the cut will heal properly--the thing they don't want is an infection. That would be a real problem, as it was for Rabach.

If the coaching staff is ok with Collins, I'm ok with Collins.[/quote]

You mean Brandon Noble getting MRSA, right? As for Collins, are you questioning Saunders and Gibbs. He can play, and pressure is when he performs the best.

the post has stated once again MB is going to start he participated in practice yesterday. It was just a thought on TC. I dont think he can light a cigarrette let alone a scoreboard.LOL
