I really wish he'd "throw the book" at them and make them play lights out against our d in order to win. He's not challenging them at all, as evidenced by Matt Stafford playing like a 5th year Pro Bowl qb against us, leading the friggin Lions down the field like they're the friggin Pats.

NO I think he just makes excuses ahead of time. You are right, when it is a rookie QB, you disquise the blitz and throw everything at him including the kitchen sink. The O coordinators that play us are playing Chess and Blache is playing Checkers. If he loses to a rookie QB again this week. He needs to go. The Bucs were shut out last week by the Giants. We are not the Giants but if they put up a lot of points on us then he is to blame.

I'm not letting the defense off the hook. If the Redskins need an identity, it needs to start on defense. They need to start attacking and make offenses react to what they are doing. That's how you rattle an inexperience quarterback. The Redskin defense is too passive. Defensive backs and linebackers playing ten yard off the ball is passive. Get after the quarterback and make him beat you. Got dammit, It makes me want to suit up and hit somebody. Knock the crap out of the opposition and make a statement. Smash mouth football.

So we may be 1-5 against rookie QBs in the last five years, but Josh Johnson is actually a second year player! So we should be good.

Right?

I've always liked Josh Johnson and i remembering hearing that Zorn liked this kid coming out of San Deigo?

NFL Videos: 2008 Combine: Josh Johnson


I was hoping that the Bucs would cut him so that Zorn would pick him up as another QB project/back-up.


I hope the kid has the worst game of his life, but if they scheme against our defense, like the Lions did, he could play poorly and still put up points against us.

I hope we don't show this kid alot of man coverage because he'll run all over us.

He impresses me more than Stafford as far as a prospect comingout of college. How that will translate o Sunday is yet to be seen. But I hope that their decision to drop their OC when they did will still be a factor when they play us. So far their offense has been horrendous. I hope they dont show up this game. But knowing us. They will.

This kid already has one likely advantage this weekend: He'll have all day to throw.

I'm more concerned with his running ability, this guy can really run. I'm reminded of one of the biggest plays in Sunday's game, a 21yd. run on 3rd & 13 by Stafford.

The big difference is that Big Ben holds the ball to make throws downfield but when Campbell does it, it seems to go to a running back.

I agree with that but you have to remember Ben's Oline is better than ours and he still takes more sacks than Campbell does.

Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos (26)
There’s no doubting that this will be Orton’s most important season of his short career. Moving from Chicago to Denver, Orton will finally be able to let himself go in an offense that will challenge and potentially reward him. With an open playbook and a talented stable of receivers to throw to, Orton should be able to improve on his 18 TD’s and his miserable 58.5 completion percentage. A great season could make Broncos fans forget about Jay Cutler and Kyle Orton a highly sought-after commodity.

Chad Pennington, Miami Dolphins (33)
A year after shocking the NFL by leading the Dolphins to a miracle turnaround, rumors have it that Chad’s playing his last season in a Dolphins uniform. The Dolphins really like 2nd-year pro Chad Henne as the future starter and have drafted Pat White as a probable back-up. This means that Pennington will need to use this season as an audition to prove he can still be a valuable asset on a playoff contender. He’s never had a rocket arm, but is very intelligent, completes a high percentage, and rarely turns the ball over. Teams interested in Chad’s services will likely have a position open for him and offer him a mid-level 2 year contract. Keep in mind though that the former 1st round selection has never stayed healthy enough to play consecutive 16-game seasons in his entire career.

Other Notable Free Agents:

Charlie Batch, Pittsburgh Steelers (34)
Kyle Boller, St. Louis Rams (28)
