Do they ever let Campbell call the plays on his own?

I couldn't disagree more. Are you saying he should still try to throw the ball with a guy hanging on to him? Yes he's been sacked, but that's better than an Int.
If the D is brining the heat, an audible isn't going to change the fact that they are coming. If our O-line can't pick up the blitz, they can't pick up the blitz. How many more screens and slants can we run without giving up a couple pick 6's?

And what if Campbell takes some chances which wind up as a pick six? At least he took a chance. I don't know whose fault it is, Zorn or Campbell's, but enough of blaming the offensive line for all of the Redskins' offensive woes. If Campbell has enough time to check all of his receivers and then decide to go to the check down guy, then the o-line is giving him enough time to throw, and god knows we have seen him to that on far too many third and longs.

The fact is, INTs are not the worst thing in the world. Look at the Skins- they have thrown less INTs than any team in the league this year! But they are 28th in the NFL in points scored. What other conclusion can you possibly draw from that other than that Campbell needs to start forcing more throws? Risk=reward. You have to take smart risks to score, yes, but you have to take risks. How can the Skins complain about inability to stretch the field if they've only thrown 4 INTs all year? All that tells you is that they don't try to stretch it, thus the problems in the passing game.
