Quick Hitters Week 5: Same old, same old

[PennSkinsFan]

People who don't pay close attention to football games will heap more ill-considered condemnations upon QB Jason Campbell after this game, but the truth is that he completed 17 of 23 passes for 1 TD, no turnovers and a passer rating over 100. If your quarterback plays that well and you still lose to a bad team, that's because the rest of your team isn't getting it done. That was the case [again] today.

Campbell's fine play was all the more incredible considering the almost complete lack of pass blocking by Washington's battered and inept offensive line. Campbell was harassed all day and Head Coach Jim Zorn had no choice but to go to nothing but short, quick passes in order to prevent even more sacks and protect the health of his starting quarterback. Washington's front office has pointedly ignored investing in its offenisve line for years and the chickens have come home to roost.
