Collins & Saunders

[BleedBurgundy]

I'm actually a little pissed that Al's been holding back on the play calling because JC was in there. If he's the guy, then he's the guy. Call the best gameplan to win, not whatever percentage of your "genius" playbook that you think he can handle. That really irritates me.

I agree with you. So what if it's a 700 page playbook? Cambpell's one and only job is to learn it. I know it's a lot, but if he had a year to memorize it, that's still less than two plays a day. Call the plays to win the game.

I agree!

I'm all for a guy getting experience but there is a difference between a young player learning to play at gamespeed and a guy who just can't run all the plays.

If JC can't run all the plays, He shouldn't be in there.
I don't understand how this organization can begin a season running a limited playbook.

Gibbs has final say who QB's, unfortunately it also seems his QB's haven't come close to showing their capable of understanding Saunders offense. I don't think it's Saunders who is looking to hold back on the other QB's to get his own guy in there because of his ego as was stated in an earlier post, [pretty hard to imagine that] but it's more to do with the ability in a QB's mind to be able to apply his system, which apparently Collins is the only guy at least right now who has a clue.

To many guys have been bashing our receivers this season, well, have they been holding back as well waiting for Collins to step in? Kind of ironic that the second Collins takes over we have WR's open all over the field, that is no coincidence, Collins knows how to find an open receiver, hopefully consistently.

If you're referring to my post, I think you misunderstood me.

It has nothing to do with believing or not believing in a guy. The Redskins fully believe in Campbell, but the reality is he's a first year starter, so he's going to be treated differently than a 10 year vet.

For this upcoming game against the Giants, it's not so much about Todd Collins as it is the protection our O-line gives him.

Umenyora and Strahan vs. the Redskins O-line as they're performing right now makes me fear for Collins' health.

Thats a very good point. I agree. The key will be how much time and protection Collins has. Not to mention the running game which has been pathetic the past two weeks. Collins needs the the running game to work in order for the play action pass to be successful.

The o-line will have to come up huge this Sunday night.
