Joe Gibbs: "Campbell is ready to play"!

[mooby]

Joe Gibbs just released a statement saying he would start Campbell, but Campbell declined an invite to eat dinner at Gibbs' house and Gibbs feels he'd be letting him off the hook.

extremeskins guys are just plain full of shit. i stake my sam baugh signed leather helmet that if brunell is healthy stubborn ol gibbsy will play him.

[That Guy]

let's please not start calling him gibbsy. he's definitely stubborn with QBs though.

WHAT THE HELL

from the WP:

"Yet Campbell's biggest career highlight thus far was the chance to lead the first-team offense for consecutive days in practice during the bye week with Brunell ailing.

"Last year I didn't get anything close to this," Campbell said of the practice time. "This year I got a chance to at least get a couple of days of reps in, and I feel like if my number is called I'm ready. Last week the guys had to get used to me, and this week I can tell it's way better than it was last week. I feel way more comfortable and confident in the plays, and I feel like if I get more reps the sky is the limit."


"ready to play" my ASS. the FIRST and ONLY time Campbell has practiced with the first team is THIS WEEK??????

for the first time on the warpath. i'm...speechless.

You ain't kidding ILL, Gibbs is starting to remind me of mad scientist.

Although if he gave Campbell reps he might have had to bench the teachers pet, we can't have that happen, besides Brunell really hangs in the pocket in practice.:cheeky-sm

This is really news to you? You didn't know he's been running the scout team the past couple of years?

sure i knew that was his usual squad, but i thought (hoped) he was at least getting some regular time with Moss and Cooley here and there. to say he's never done consecutive reps with them is utterly disheartening, because thats the only way to develop any kind of rhythm with an offense.

it's absolutely maddening that Gibbs has invested so much practice on this deadend of a QB Brunell. as if Brunell hasn't had enough time with this offense already, or the crispness and longevity to be training for a whole new offense at this point in his career.

lets say on brunells first drive tomorrow we go three and out. lets also say it was a 3rd and 8 and he dumps the ball off to a rb out of the backfield the crowd at fed-ex will be booing there guts out bottom line. we dont know what campbell has to offer us yet. i can understand gibbs thinking by not starting him to we are officaly out of contention but the fans dont want to see brunell play not to lose the game anymore this year it worked last year because we had a great defense and portis was running well. we are a different team this year

this is a very accurate statement that maybe some on our coaching staff do not understand. but i still believe we could be a running team if Al Saunders would stick with it. its almost like he has to get his finger prints all over this team. i personally only care about wins, not how they are achieved

[vaoutlaws2006]

ready to play and actually playing are two different things. gibbs saying that doesnt mean sh*t. He will stay with brunell until his legs fall off.
