Campbell is playing scared (Merged)

[No_Pressure]

So you had to unleash your frustration on the world of paragraphs.

[Thirtyfive2seven]

This reminds me of exactly how the forum reacted when Saunders was brought in after a decent campaign in 2005 by Gibbs.

[CRobi21]

...was coming to extremeskins after the game.

[chrisxcore]

Man I can't wait to just put this one behind us...

[paintrain]

The most frustrating thing is continued posts saying this team sucks and everyone needs to be cut and/or fired.

For crying out loud it was ONE ****ing game! I mean our offense played atrocious, but our D and Special Teams kept us in a game where we lost by 9 to the defending champs in their house in our head coaches first regular season game.

****ing hell..... :doh:

THANK YOU! No wonder non Redskins fans think we are such idiots, because we act like it half the time. The glass is either overflowing or barren dry.. All of the 'the score is not indicative of the game' crowd completely discount the defense stepping up big time after the 1st quarter. Newsflash, the Giants are a professional football team too. It's their job to stop what we are trying to do and score points every drive too. Sometimes the other team wins. Geez guys, it's more painful to listen to you b*itches than watch the games!

Ok. Your right. I'm sure Campbell will roll out of bed one day this week and suddenly learn to quickly read defenses and run this scheme. Zorn will notice it and come next Sunday he'll start aggresively attacking the Saints defense and most amazingly it's going to work!

The entire game Thursday was a fluke. We only appeared to be so timid on offense that we'd rather run the ball on 3rd and long or throw it 2 yards and get off the field. Even with the game on the line in the 4rth quarter!!!!

Yep folks some of us are just crazy, it was just one game and we are a week away from really starting to click!

[turbodiesel#44]

Some Redskin fans disgust me. Making excuses, any excuses for a loss. No winning attitude, no real hope for anything but "maybe someday". The Giants didn't beat us, we beat ourselves. We only needed 2 TD's and a FG to win. We couldn't get it done.

[Gigantor]

I don't think Campbell stinks. I just think he's in the wrong offense.

I agree 100%. It's obvious now that Gibbs/Saunders restricted the offense last year to fit Campbell's limited abilities. Unfortunately, Zorn is too green to do the same.

[tex]

guess after all those years of watching the likes of theisman, montana, elway, kelly, marino, young, bradshaw, favre, manning and brady; the drop-off down to jc's level of play seems huge.

[cadams]

Exactly. Now tell me that the offense we had the last month of last season would not have scored 17 points.

My whole point is that it would have been nice to build on that this year. 3 of the last 4 years we had a championship level defense. We finally had an offense that could match it and now we are starting over once again.

I have a winning attitude, and Zorn may get there in time but we arent fixing this in a week.

[turbodiesel#44]

If Jason is scared of anything, its of making a mistake like throwing an interception.

I have to agree there. Jason is playing slow and not very intelligent, but I see nothing that would indicate he is a coward.

[LizKauai]

JUST THROW THE BALL!

once in a while

[CRobi21]

The one who starts. Cause the other 2 are on the sideline when the offense is on the field.

[jaydean]

after being a redskins fan since 1973, i have to tell you that thursday night was the most painful game i've ever had to watch...how a team can have zero passing yards halfway thru the game is beyond me....anyway, one thing i noticed, and i noticed it last year is this....

jason campbell goes back from center and STARES at the reciever he's going thru throw to.....any defense can spot that...he needs to check the field and then find his reciever....

with that said, i think our beloved skins will go 9-7 this year....we'll get this trained turned around very very quickly.

[Ray Brown]

dude, really? this is all over the forum...

[dfitzo53]

dude, really? this is all over the forum...

You missed the part where this is his own observation.

[CRobi21]

Stares down his receivers!!!!!?????

You don't say!

[Ray Brown]

You missed the part where this is his own observation.

ahh i see. apparently we need a new thread for everyones observation

[Blondie]

If THIS game was the most painful since 1973, I KNOW you have missed lots of games.

I can name a dozen that topped this one.

Easily.

[PCS]

I guess,(looks into merging crystal ball), hmmmmmm. Oh, and if this is the worst you've seen since 73, then I believe you have missed a few games since then.

Edit. Should have known. Blondie thought of it first.

[Ray Brown]

mods, don't even merge this, just close it.

[CRobi21]

mods, don't even merge this, just close it.

Haha.

This place gets to you like it used to get to me.

[SKINS FAN #56]

I think it was due to Play calling. Why run routes that are 5 yards?

Man he missed Santana Moss deep a couple times as well. I mean on the very first play he got sacked but he could have easily gotten it to Moss if he had stepped up into the pocket. Instead he scrambled around making sure no one else was gonna sack him. :doh:

[planter]

Here's my take:

- either Campbell having some difficulty adjusted to yet another offensive scheme,

- or he's being over-coached,

- perhaps a little of each

Zorn must needs to tweek the WCO for NFC East "Smashmouth".

[Vi]

I both agree and disagree... to some degree, Campbell does seem afraid of making mistakes. He doesn't want to risk interceptions, so he holds the ball instead of trying to force it in. While that's not necessarily a bad thing, it does make him react far too slowly. I think that is his main problem... he's moves too slow.
