bubba9497 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/29/AR2007082902397_pf.html click link for full article Redskins at Jaguars Wednesday, August 29, 2007; E09 Campbell's Confidence: In a perfect world, quarterback Jason Campbell, in his first game back after taking a direct blow to his blind side, would lead a quick scoring drive and hit the showers with some confidence. Facing a real pass rush for the first time since his hit will test him a bit, particularly with a sore knee. Portis Present? It was pretty clear this week that Coach Joe Gibbs would like tailback Clinton Portis to get 4-5 carries tonight, but that's not certain, especially given Portis's aversion to preseason. His knee tendinitis is a concern and his preseason has been a wash. Who's Second? Veteran Mark Brunell has had a rough preseason, while Todd Collins has flourished in pursuit of the job of being Campbell's backup. But Brunell figures to get a long look tonight before a crowd that cheered him in his heyday with Jacksonville. He needs to show something more tonight. For Pete's Sake: Left guard Pete Kendall is game for making his Redskins debut tonight, as long as the playbook is vanilla. He has practiced just once with the team since being acquired from the Jets and is just getting to know his teammates and this scheme, but will be protecting Campbell's blind side along with undrafted rookie tackle Stephon Heyer.

Touchdown Redskins Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I predict that Heyer's performance will improve DRASTICALLY with Kendall helping the boy out. Even if we are running a system that Kendall hasn't been in before, he's seen everything in his career and can help Heyer with protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 First look at Pete Kendall. That's a good thing. Probably some basic stuff, but that's expected. And agreed. Mark needs a good night tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Are All Right: Some surprise candidates are still fighting for roster spots on a defense that is trending younger. Rookie ends Alex Buzbee (Georgetown) and Chris Wilson are battling to add depth to the left end position and have flashed some pass-rushing ability.

I hope Brunell shows something, it's tough to watch him right now. I mean, I actually have to stop myself from changing the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I'll be there! I think part of coach's QB rotation took into account Brunell not playing as the third QB in his old home. That would have looked bad for Mark. It worked out well I think. Collins showed some good stuff against one of the best defenses and probably won the number two spot and Brunell gets to keep his pride. :applause: I wouldn't expect too much help for Heyer from Kendall. Maybe if Kendall was here longer but not in his first start with the unit. I think they will both be hard pressed to handle their own assignments tonight. Heres to a good game, steady progress, and NO INJURYS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onnie007 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I hope CP can get in there for a carry or two. I know he doesn't want to participate but he needs to get his legs under him in a game type situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
