Redskins vs. Steelers Game Thread

And that's essentially the issue here when people ask, what has Campbell ever done to deserve an unquestioned starters role. Nothing, necessarily. But lets say for argument that Tavaris Jackson was a Redskin who was competing with Campbell for the job. Would it make sense to decide two weeks from tonight that Tavaris Jackson should be the starter and Jason Campbell should be released?

What if the Jaguars, instead of giving Garrard a chance, labeled him as a "career backup" and decided, on a complete whim, that instead of going with Leftwich in the offseason, that they should trade a first round pick and a third round pick for JP Losman, who was coming off a career high in both Yards and TDs in 2006? Is that logical? You could have made an argment that Losman was a franchise quarterback and Leftwich was not (at the time), but does that make the move defensible?

Kyle Orton just threw a left handed interception.

Full disclosure (as not to be Solomon Wilcots): it was fourth down

I have been bashing Mason regularly but I was pretty happy with what I saw tonight. He does not look like a 3rd stringer when he is out there with the third stringers. The thing is... do you take him over Cartwright with our "teams" struggling already? What about Dorsey, who also looked good?

Then you start thinking about those last roster spots. Who would you rather have? Mason or Mitchell? What about Mason or Wynn (or Jackson)? I hate to give Vinny props because people may go on a tirade but it seems like there are going to be some really tough roster decisions. I know it is only one game but how do you cut Mitchell at this point? I remember the lovefest for Jimmy Farris but Mitchell seems like the real deal....

Chase Stays Humble

Has no choice. One game doesn't prove anything. I just hope Zorn gives Chase a lot of reps in the remaining preseason games to see if he can actually contribute. Would like to keep him around if the worst possible scenario happens with the QBing this season.

Well, worst case scenario for him, he has made the practice squad.

GusFrerotte · 08-23-2009, 01:21 AM

I hope he makes the team outright if he looks this promising the rest of preseason.

CultBrennan59 · 08-23-2009, 02:27 AM

I just hope Brennan still makes the team, even after Daniels did good tonight. I wish that we would just cut Collins, and Keep Brennan and Daniels, but you know thats not the case. I also think Dorsey is just better than rock cartwright.

I am not surprised. The guy was a stud at probably the best program in the nation. I don't his performance last night was an accident. He has received praise for his approach this year and it is paying off.

I love seeing him deliver crushing blocks more than anything and to see him make a play on teams? Gravy...

It seems like Thomas is the only potential bust left from the 2008 second round...

I've always thought Kelly was the best receiver we got out of that draft and with Mitchell also coming on, DT needs to start showing something.

DT just keeps doing foolish things. I don't know why he has such a hard time getting his head into the game. His miscues always seem to be mental rather than physical.

Don't know, but MSU players have bad luck making it in the NFL. Drew Stanton might end up being #3 QB for the Lions again, although Stafford's performance last night wasn't very impressive. We are more solid at QB than a lot of teams.
