Carter and Zoe are competing at OLB.

Yeah, not a big deal in the end. Even if Rex has to play, we're in trouble.

Agree

Regarding Colt ... I just think he's one of those guys that just needs to play in the games. He's just not a practice type of player.

Guys like that are weird, because typically you have the practice superstars that can't do it under pressure, but occasionally you get that guy that shines under pressure. Unfortunately they usually do such in college with great mismatches in their favor.

Sort of explains why Brennan has all those NCAA passing records. Hawaii had a very nice program, but would have finished no higher than 5th or 6th in the Big Ten, Big 12, and maybe even lower in the SEC. I mean look at what Georgia did to Colt in the Sugar Bowl.

We see it at all levels, high school teams that run over divisions and get killed in regionals, college teams that win conferences but do nothing in the bcs, etc

Keep in mind, Hawaii's offensive line was awful in the Sugar Bowl, and the reason why the game was such a blow out. Colt had no time to even drop back, and look down field. I guarantee that if Hawaii had pretty much any BCS teams OL, the game would have not been nearly as lopsided as it was. You can't blame one player for the loss of a blowout game like that. Hawaii had no idea what hit them.

Or maybe he's just is what he is, a 3rd stringer at best

No No No No!!! He needs to play man!!

Bench McNabb, play the Colt! Only then will his "it" factor be allowed to save us!!

If he fails - it's Jason Campbell's fault!
(or maybe Patrick Ramsey's)

Why stop at Ramsey? Maybe it's Danny Wuerffel's fault or maybe Shane Matthews?

I can vouch for the academically supported idea that some players are going to underperform (consistently) in low-intensity environments. Some players just need game speed to have those coverages make any sense.

Of course, I've seen Colt in the preseason, and, there's just not a whole lot there.

Man, I just watched some of the videos with the coaches on redskins.com and I am so sick of these reporters just asking these dumbass questions about Haynesworth. I would have liked to see some more questions asked about the other 79 guys in camp.

Sorry, I know it's a little off-topic but just had to vent a little.

Agree tired of the media just dwelling on this topic time to move on.

I'm looking forward to seeing if the Bartel Brotherhood will beat out the Cult of Colt for the #3 qb job. I guess we will see.

And nice to hear about DT and FD looking sharp. Sounds like we are hearing a glass half full kinda deal, some good, some bad.

Also very impressed to hear about Zoe taking first team reps away from Carter. I can't believe he was playing defensive tackle when we first brought him in and now he's competing for the starting outside linebacker job.
