What's Wrong with the Redskins?

Portis' incredible string of 125-yard-plus games masked our average passing game, and now that the running game is tougher, the weak passing game is shining through.

JC is good. the OL and DL are going downhill and dragging JC with them.

It's very unpopular to say anything negative about the best, 'home-grown', QB we've had in almost 20 years. However, our passing game is weak, for many reasons - including JC. Teams have challenged JC to beat them when they load up on Clinton Portis. Until we get better at that, we're not going to score many points.

That's true. And the Ravens will pressure JC on every play possible next Sunday. I hope the line gives Campbell time to throw and that the receivers catch the ball.

I agree that our passing game has utterly failed three of the last four weeks, and part of it is on Campbell not seeing the field as well as he should be.

But Zorn has put a lot of responsibility on the receivers, and between Randle El missing the final two drives against Dallas with injury, the rain today, and the pass pressure on Campbell against Pittsburgh, every part of the pass offense failed at some point.

The lack of depth is creating a paper-thin margin for error with the passing game, and it's all really hurting Campbell, who has been struggling with the basics recently.
