The Redskins Are Close

We all see other QBs throw into tight single coverage a few times a game, giving their Receivers a chance to make a play or draw a pass interference call. What we see a few times a game from most QBs, Brees seems to do with easy regularity.

Just once I'd like to see Campbell throw a ball downfield (doesn't have to be 50 yards either) to a receiver who is covered, and put it in a spot where his Receiver can at least make an attempt on the ball. Right now, he either doesn't make that pass or when he does, it's way friggin off.

44Deezel, you've never seen Campbell throw or put the ball to a receiver who's covered since he's been a Redskin? I know I have.

No, not really. And I've seen every pass he's made in a Skins uni. And I'm specifically talking about intermediate to long passes. the 10 yard in the middle of the field to Cooley is great. No denying he can make that pass all day. What I'd like to see more of are passes like the one he missed to Kelly on the first play of the Rams game. That's a pass he should attempt whether Kelly has a step on his Defender or both are running side by side. Give the WR a chance at making the play or drawing a pass interference call. Just to be clear, I'm talking about Jason Campbell. The QB for the Skins. Just want to make sure you're not referring to some other Campbell who plays for a college or CFL team.

What hurts me are the balls that are thrown deep toward the sidline.

JC forever edges the ball out of bounds and hardly gives the receiver a shot at actually coming down with it. Even now when he throws deep toward the sideline I call it before it gets there...out of bounds...sure enough. : )

God bless JC but his deep accuracy is treacherous.

Valid criticism. Hopefully, you won't get blasted for pointing out the obvious. Some might think Zorn should have designed the route to be more inbounds or that the receiver should have been able to jump 5 feat in the air or extend their arm 5 yards out of bounds to make a one-handed catch

Or maybe he's just trying to get a cheerleaders attention.
