Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

The Sports Junkies are about to talk to an ESPN source in reference to a rumor about Campbell possibly starting this weekend. I'm going to listen to it, but I wanted some other people to hear it too. If anyone is in a position to listen to an internet stream, go to [URL="http://www.donandmikewebsite.com"]www.donandmikewebsite.com[/URL] and click on the "listen live" on the left side of the home page.

It could be crap, but it should still be an interesting listen. I'll post what I hear after they talk to the source.

any update on this?

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

From the sounds of it, they can't get him on the phone. They didn't say who the ESPN source is, but I have a feeling it's Chris Mortenson. Supposedly, there's been rumbling that since Brunell isn't 100% and Campbell has been taking most of the snaps since the Colts game, Campbell would be the starter Sunday, but Washington is trying to keep it quiet.

It could be complete crap since Mort likes to push rumors as fact occasionally, but there could be some truth to it. It's not too crazy to think that Gibbs would sit the possibly injured Brunell that hasn't practiced in a couple weeks, in favor of the healthy, possibly prepared Campbell.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

If I'm not mistaken, Brunell practiced on Wednesday and Thursday. While injured, yes Campbell has been taking more and more snaps, but I think it's a ploy. Brunell will be under center on Sunday.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

He practiced fully yesterday and Gibbs says he, "looked great." Blah. :(

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

This is the same thing that's going on Jacksonville. Leftwich was hurt and Garrard took the snaps. Garrard is gonna be the starter this weekend and he's not anywhere near the QB Leftwich is. Brunell's been hurt, Campbell is taking the snaps. Why not start the kid?

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

I wish. But Brunell is the son Gibbs never had.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

I thought Brunell was the daughter Gibbs never had...

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

I was going to start a thread the other day about this but in the interest of not having another QB thread I decided against it.

I've been wondering all week if there is any possibility that Campbell will start and the coaches are just keeping it under wraps to keep Campbell from getting hammered all week by the media.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

It's not going to happen. Collins was getting 1/2 the snaps too. Why Collins is even getting snaps is beyond me. I guess Gibbs is trying to keep Saunders happy. I'm can't wait until it's 3-9 and Brunell throws a 5 yard checkdown. The crowd is going to really let him have it this week.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

love to see it matty, but i'm not sure if its in the cards. gibbs is loyal, and brunell is his guy. i would be shocked if anyone but 8 in under center at 1pm on sunday. Either way...i'm getting excited..its about that time where I start believing that we CAN and WILL win...(i do this each week- bearish/dejected on monday, and gradually progress to optimistic by friday). Go skins!

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

Well, the show's over and they didn't get ahold of him, so now this rumor is basically third hand. Still, it is an interesting possibility. If it were any other coach in the league, I could see it happening, but since it's Coach Gibbs and the quarterback in question is Mark Brunell, I'm 99.9% sure there won't be a change.

Re: Sports Junkies talking about a Campbell rumor
 

I'd be surprised if Campbell does start, but if they were to make a change this is the way they would do it.

Campbell was getting hounded by the media by just taking a lot of snaps last week, imagine if they had announced the change during the bye?

Forget about it... the pressure on him for this game would be monumental.

I have my fingers crossed for Sunday.

That really says it all, right there. It just seems like Gibbs has the biggest hard-on for Brunell than anyone ever had for anyone ever before.
