That's ok. This will actually help Jason Campbell and Todd Collins. It's a blessing in disguise.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Exactly. My first thought was more snaps for JC.

Same here. I don't think it will negatively affect Brunell at all. The only risk here is having him come back too early and have the injury get worse or linger into the season. I hope he takes his time and lets it get right. In the meantime, lets get to coaching up JC with the starting WRs.

Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
By Gary Fitzgerald
Redskins.com
June 2, 2006

Quarterback Mark Brunell has a small fracture in his left index finger and he is expected to miss 2-3 weeks of off-season work, the team announced on Friday. [IMG]http://www.redskins.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/FDCEEGODJLME/BrunQB869.jpg[/IMG] [B]Mark Brunell [/B] The injury occurred in a drill during an Organized Team Activity (OTA) practice earlier this week.
The injury could force Brunell, who throws left-handed, to sit out the June 16-18 full squad mini-camp.
With Brunell sidelined, backups Todd Collins and Jason Campbell will likely get the bulk of snaps during the remaining OTA practices and mini-camp.
Since Brunell is a 13-year NFL veteran, his absence from OTA and mini-camp practices should not be an issue.
Brunell and the quarterbacks are in the middle of learning the offense of new associate head coach-offense Al Saunders.
Collins, who played for Saunders when they were in Kansas City from 2001-05, said recently: "Mark is an accomplished quarterback--he's run many of these plays before, but they were called different things. So his adjustment is just going to be the terminology. He knows how to play the position."
Brunell is expected to be fully healthy for the start of training camp in late July.
Brunell is coming off a season in which he helped guide the Redskins to the playoffs for the first time in six years. He started 15-of-16 regular-season games and completed 262-of-454 passes for 3,050 yards, 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His QB rating was 85.9.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

I am glad this is not that long, but those finger/hand injuries are not good at all. I hope it remains 2-3, and not worst, knock on wood.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

As long as the injury will fully heal, this should not be an issue. Lets just hope this is not something that can linger throughout the season.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Crap!! Now you see why we shouldn't have traded Ramsey!!!

Brunell probly got the injury 'cause his first read wasn't open and he didn't want to take the hit!

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

2-3 weeks of ota's. who the f cares. I would rather talk about ladell betts.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Not an issue, as many have already said this will give Campbell more of a chance to get some work.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

i agree wit matty dis jus mean more snaps fo JC

I wouldn't go quite that far, but close enough.

Helps backups....:bdh: :bdh: :bdh:

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Obviously, this isn't good with Brunell playing in the new offense and all.

You're all right tho, there will be absolutely no visible fallout from this injury barring something going terribly, terribly wrong, or a misreporting of the severity of the injury.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Who should we draft with the 31st pick?

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

God this sucks, this going to effect us all year and we will propably drop in the power rankings. Why would Gibbs allow Brunell to put himself in a position to get hurt. Hes old and injuries like this can go on for months and if he starts practising to soon it may never heel. We let Ramsey go for virtualy nothing and all we have now is a rookie and what his name. What a way to start the year.

HAHA you mean 32nd??

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

It was probably a jammed finger. He'll be able to heal before the season.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

[quote=dirthogs311]HAHA you mean 32nd??[/quote]No, he's counting on the Ravens getting contracted after a really sorry ass year.

Oh, no! Not the Power Rankings!

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

we all knew brunell couldn't make it through the entire season... I guess we might as well give up now.

He's being sarcastic...in case your detector is broke.

13 year vet,this just keeps his legs and arm fresher longer into the season

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

You guys NOW are fucked hahaha just kidding amped by the star of mini camps.

Well, that's the positive spin I was looking for. I was all about JC getting more reps and here we go. Mark will be fine, but Saunders may be checking out JC a lot since he can throw 60 plus yards on a rope. I am interested to see how Mark handles this new offense, he is similar to Trent Green in arm strength and has better WRs to work with now. He's still the starter for now and this minor injury is fine, especially if gets JC ready for action sooner, you know he'll be in this year at some point, as the starter, in mop up, or b/c of injuries....

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Word is he got this hand injury after spending several hours checking out our "hottest celebs" thread....I'm just sayin'

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

thats why we should have stayed with ramsey for 2nd qb-but no we just gave him away

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

It's amazing how he could have broken his finger just throwing during OTA's. I could see if it was some form of contact drill but there's no contact in what they're doing now.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Well there goes our Super Bowl chances!!!

Relax, it is June 3rd. Mark is an old pro and as it has been said many times in this thread, Jason will get more snaps and be better prepared to take over when the time comes. It will come!!!

I heard it was from trying to set high scores in the arcade.

Looks like he needs a macro...

he said something about breaking it on a helmet, so it wasn't "just throwing", which makes it a bit better.

Thanks for the clarification Guy. I hadn't heard any details about how it happened, I had only read that it happened absent any explanation as to how.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Good-Riddins to Ramsey. Great exposure for collins and campbell. Although, its his index finger on his throwing hand, it takes time to get a grip back and will nag later if it gets dinged.

Re: Brunell to Miss 2-3 Weeks With Hand Injury
 

Brunell doesn't get enough credit. I've been watching Redskins vids intensely for the past few days. Noticed that Moss and Cooley caught some nicely thrown balls. No discredit to Moss or Cooley, but some of those balls in Dallas game were more than perfect throws. Brunell will be back and take us to the big game! It is what he was meant to do.

SUUUUUUUUURE...I hope you're being sarcastic.

Ramsey would've:

1. Taken the hit, fumbled resulting in an opponent's TD and been pulled for Brunell.

2. Thrown the ball to a defensive lineman.

3. Turned and run the other way.


Ramsey had some raw talent, but he NEVER mentally matured past his rookie season. He plays every year like it's his first. I'm glad we shipped him off for someone else to deal with.

Side note...how sad is it to be a Jets fan...they could've had Leinart but decided to take their chances with Mr. Forever a Rookie Ramsey and the always-injured Chad Pennington. Last I heard, Brooks Bollinger is going to be cut too. :)

Yes it will affect us all year...we'll have a better-prepared Jason Campbell.
