Great Job

Seeing him take Darren Howard totally out of plays reminded me of Week 4 when Cooley was literally driving DefensivePlayeroftheYearrunnerup DeMarcus Ware out of bounds on running plays to his side.

This is great news, considering that Davis was considered to be a poor blocking tight end in the draft.

The parts about Jason Campbell were also great news(unless you are one of those people who hate Jason Campbell). Gtripp, do you believe if the Redskins get some o-line help that JC could return to his first half form of 2008?

There's no doubt.

Campbell never broke down mechanically in the face of oncoming rushers and poorly developing plays. Perhaps he did loose a certain level of trust in his downfield passing game, but we just didn't have one last year and it wasn't for lack of trying.

We need the big plays back in the offense, meaning we need to improve the pass protection, and also, get multiple downfield receiving targets. Campbell just has to keep doing his thing, and not deviate from the things he does well already in an attempt to find a better overall result.
