Dude, there is no possible way 70chip. First of all, as somebody mentioned, the press would figure out wtf is going on when Campbell gets all the snaps. Its not like Gibbs can lie to the media, and say Mark is resting, while secretly telling the players that Mark wont start.

Second of all, it is obvious that Brunell, along with every team member would have to lie to the media for a week. This is not something that they signed onto the team for.

Only way this could really work, is if Gibbs made up his choice, gametime, or on Friday. But if he did that, he would lose the support of his players, bc it shows a coach cannot be honest with his players, if he has a QB in mind.

And the gametime stuff, usually happens when there is an honest QB race, like in preseason. NYJ did this for a while, but that was bc the QBs on the team didnt even know what the lineup was. If Gibbs knows he is gonna pull a QB, he HAS to tell them, and the media ASAP.
