OFFICIAL GAME THREAD SKINS/Jags

I heard on WJFK's pregame show that the 8 car was considering retirement "if he didn't win the 2nd string QB job"? I can't remember who said it - anyone else hear that/can clarify???

I hope not. Tonight Mark Brunnel became very valuable to the Redskins. He's the only viable third string QB that we have. Jordon Palmer may not even get a practice squad spot.

By Collins not playing I intrepeted that to mean he has won the number two spot. That would open the door to trade MB and get back a draft choice. At this point the skins don't have to release him with Palmer going to the PC.

And who will be our third string QB?

So.....let's cut to the chase.

  • First-stringers (IE: the players that actually matter) looked awesome
  • Campbell looked poised, healthy and confident
  • Running game was a bit better
  • Our D-line got some penetration
  • Our fodder...err...backups lost the game for us.

I'm ever-so-slightly disappointed, but that's only because I hate losing in general.

Larry Michaels was kicking the same thing around--MB not wanting to be #3 yet and feeling he can play @ #2--but it was just talk, nothing more. A "hypothetical" is how Larry put it and was adamant about him "not knowing anything" when asked. My take is that such a speculative scenario would have to have MB willing to make any needed kind of $ adjustment favorable to the 'skins. So I guess if he was willing to take less $$$ for a chance to play elsewhere...who knows?

Going by this board, and while I know the relationship he has with Gibbs & many of the players counts a lot, he might figure he's hardly losing any love from this place if he leaves. Maybe he even thinks about all the crap Gibbs takes over him justified or not and putting it to an end. All just thinking casually out loud, of course.

Gotta go guys, later. :cheers:

I was really encouraged from what I saw in the first half. The third string, I could really care less about. Think that we are actually going tohave a good team and the youth that we will have will be able to have a solid foundation to build upon.

if this is the official thread i will say that our starting D is officially going to destroy fools this year. oh and "officially" i take back everything i said about bramlet because palmer blows dog. even for a rookie.

if the same squads from the first quarter had played the entire game we would have murdered the jagoffs. i am pleased to say the least. oh yeah and im sorry to Mason he looks good.
