Stop!! You're in the No Fun Zone

ESPN.com'sMatt Mosley bloggs about how Coach Zorn is less then thrilled with Jason Campbell's 4-of-10 for 28 yards performance.

"We had a route that Jason held the ball and we had a vertical outside that was an easy touchdown," Zorn said of Campbell. "Honestly, it was an easy touchdown and we just didn't see it. He didn't focus on it, and then he turned back in and tried to throw the ball over the middle to the tight end [and the route] wasn't there."

What appears to concern coach Zorn the most is that Jason Campbell didn't trust his instincts and it cost the team a possible score. As most of us know the WCO is built around timing passes, and QB's ability to read coverages. Frankly i'm glad this happenend. Why you ask? Well because this is what the preseason is about, making mistakes and correcting them. Second I didn't want the team to feel to good about themselves going into the season and third I like how Zorn handles himself and his players. As much as I've heard how Zorn is constantly in his QB's faces makes me believe that this issue will correct itself.

Matt Mosley hints that Jason Taylor's foot could be a problem:

Via the Washngton Times: Jason Taylor earned defensive player of the year honors in 2006 while enduring painful plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Taylor suffered the same injury last December, one that's still lingering, but the six-time Pro Bowl defensive end refuses to give into the pain.

In the article Taylor mentions that during the week is when his foot hurts the worst and during gameday you take stuff to make the pain go away and that the foot hurts more then the time he broke his arm & collarbone. Damn I hope that this situation doesn't get worse.

Matt Mosley has a mole inside Redskins park.

And this just in: I'm told punter Durant Brooks has a slight edge over Derrick Frost in the hotly contested punting competition.

Let me say this: Durant Brooks had a slight edge when we was drafted in April.

Instincts??????? How do you correct instincts?

It was stated that Zorn said that Campbell needs to rely on his instincts. Well…..maybe he just doesn’t have good instincts. This is nothing that preseason activity is going to correct. How do you change your instincts? Personally, even in the last offense from last year, Campbell hasn’t showed me anything. Sorry………tell me when he has done well or his QB rating has been high? Campbell has not showed me he is the Redskin QB of the future. Collins took them to five straight last year. Got clobbered in the Seahawks game but the whole team did. Make the move to Collins now.

what about Brennan?

Collins isn’t going to do us any good plugged in as starter. Even were I convinced that JC isn’t the answer, I’d almost prefer calling the season and putting in a guy who could, potentially, be the future. Collins has a short future.

Go register. Or else.
