Yes, the Bears made the Giants first team look really bad. If the Giants are not healthier on defense by Sept. 13 they could be in big trouble. The numerous injuries on all three levels of defense may make them toothless on defense. And its the defense that makes that team what it is. They still have a few weeks to heal, but if they don't, this year's opener could have a vastly different look than last year's opener. Speaking of last year's opener, I saw Jacobs run over Urlacher twice. Landry should feel good about that.

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
Can the Campbell detractors please not say that if he was 11-for-11 in the preseason instead of 4-for-13 that they would be leading the charge FOR him? C'mon, you and I both know we're dealing with a meaningless sample there. We also both know that while I know we'd all like him to succeed, your denial of him having the ability to do so is the reason we disagree. I do not deny his ability to be sucessful, you do, and there's really nothing wrong with that. But let's not act like seven completions in the preseason would make you think that, "wow, this guy has the goods."
Matty is 100% correct. If he was 11-for-11 in the preseason, there would be about 20% as many people on these Campbell threads, and "lets wait for the season" would be the mantra.

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
There was nothing wrong with Campbells performance. The production just didn't match up with the rest of the positives. Like GTripp said "the sample size was too small" as well. Don't we have more pressing issues like who the back up waterboy is going to be?

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
I just don't get the way that some purposely overlook plays that Campbell failed in. what the hell is the excuse for missing moss for 10 yards and a 3rd down conversion. it's just preseason ... please. are u all saying that he misses that because it's just preseason or maybe he just didn't get enough snaps. or maybe it was against last year's 1st ranked defense (even though the defense had nothing to do with the incompletion). lets face it, whatever it was ,there really is not an excuse for this play.
And why is this play along with his other plays this preseason meaningless? the only meaningless thing for the players in preseason is the score. When the players are in there, they compete the way they would during the season. Just look at Haynesworth, or ask Brennan or Daniels if it is meaningless. Shoot even mister anti-preseason, Portis, hurt his shoulder to prevent a defensive td in a preseason game. |

The play is not meaningless. It's just that, a (one) play. Who cares? 2)You already know that players who aren't expected to play much in the regular season need to value the preseason, way, way more than anyone who goes into the preseason with no competition on their job. For somebody like Campbell, it's just a tune up. What he gets from it is 100x more important than what he does in it. But for third stringers like Daniel/Brennan, what they do in it is arguably more important than what they get from it. 3) The preseason has never, ever been about first string quarterbacks. This is the fatal flaw in your argument.

And who cares? Everyone should. If campbell made a play earlier or even after this play, then yeah who cares cause he made up for it by making a good play - but he didn't. The best thing that he did for a majority of the game was throwing the ball away. |

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
... and Brady's interception was just one meaningless preseason play - but by his reaction not meaningless to him.
You follow the lead of the leaders. Guys like Brady and Haynesworth, they are guys you follow and it certainly looks like to me, that they care how they perform on the field anytime, even in preseason. |

Re: "Jason Campbell struggles against the Steelers"
In the summer months, the Redskins showed interest in Jay Cutler when Denver was shopping the disgruntled pro-bowler in early spring. After Denver’s new Head Coach, Josh McDaniels, turned down an offer from Washington that was identical to the offer made by the Chicago Bears, it was clear that other coaches and front offices were not convinced of Campbell’s future as a starting quarterback in the league.
The Redskins even showed interest in moving up in the draft to take USC’s Mark Sanchez. But the Redskins did not have the draft picks to match the Jets offer, and therefore, missed another trade opportunity to upgrade their quarterback position. This was after the Redskins approached several teams about a possible trade for Campbell, but no organization exhibited interest. With the questions surrounding the reliability and the psyche of their quarterback, preseason is an opportunity for coaches and fans to see how Campbell will respond to the off-season mayhem. Unfortunately, for Jason Campbell, the preseason has not pointed in the direction that he and his team were hoping. After two preseason games, Campbell is 4/13 with 48 yards (a completion percentage of 30.8%) and has a quarterback rating of 43.1%. This puts Campbell in the No. 32 spot when compared to other starting quarterbacks’ numbers this preseason; and has Washington’s offense ranked 29th for yards, 30th for points, and 31st for passing. (By contrast, Kyle Orton’s completion percentage is 64.3% with an overall rating of 50.9%, Jay Cutler’s completion percentage is 56.5% with an overall rating of 79.1%, and Mark Sanchez has a completion rate of 50.0% with a rating of 82.3%). There is no denying that Campbell must perform better this Friday when the Redskins travel to take on the New England Patriots. As one official in the Redskins organization remarked, “It would put a lot of peoples’ minds at ease, and I’m not just talking about the fans.” Hopefully, for the team and Campbell, the second half of the preseason will prove to be more promising than the first. So, it appears that the need and meaningfulness of the preseason is still alive and well in Washington
