Washington Redskins By the Numbers: #5

This is our first chance to make a move away from kickers. And I am going to take it. For the record, Jeff Hayes is a name I will never forget. His fake punt against the Chargers on MNF was great. He played in 2 Super Bowls. He played on a couple of the all-time greatest Redskins teams and that connection causes him to stand out in my mind.

#5 Colt Brennan

I know, I know, I know...he's a 3rd string quarterback that has been in the league for barely more than a year. But this is more than just shameless sucking up to a current player. Did Jeff Hayes or Brett Conway ever cause fans to be glued to their TV's--in the preseason? Colt turned garbage time last pre-season into must-watch television.

Let's all be responsible and not turn this into a forum for calling for Colt to start. He is not ready for it and he is not better than Jason Campbell right now. But when the preseason rolls around, we will all be tuning in to watch Colt Brennan. That's a fact.

He was one of the all-time greatest college quarterbacks, and he did it in Hawaii, which is kind of automatically cool. He has swagger, and he has a ton of personality. To me, what I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy most about Colt's time here is the dynamic between him and Jim Zorn. Is it just me or does the gunslinger in Zorn really seem to show up in the corners of his eyes and lips when he is asked to talk about Colt? Like he is suppressing a gut instinct to lavish praise on the youngster because he reminds Zorn of himself. Then, instead he catches himself and talks about the plays being left on the field. I could be wrong, but the kid has something, and the masses have tuned into it. He has a cult-like following.

God forbid the Jason Campbell era was to come to an untimely end via injury this season. You get the impression this town would happily ride the exploits of Colt Brennan week in and week out, taking the good with the bad, breathlessly anticipating the reincarnation of a Brett Favre-type of leader under center.

Either way, I will definitely be going to the current roster to fill out this list. I expect spirited debate on these issues.

Who else do we want to throw in the #5 slot? The #6 post is going to be depressing. What say you?

Colt

If Sugar’s wife would let him for one night sleep with any man, i’m 100% sure he would pick Colt. (Mike Williams a close 2nd).

I love

Colt also Sugar so don’t feel bad. I think Kevin may be a little jealous.

Thank God

+1

I love TK on PTI…but in the spur of the moment booth he adds nothing. In fact, all he does is probe Jaws with questions. The play-by-play announcer shouldn’t know 10x more than the analysts. Tirico, Jaws and Gruden is a definite upgrade.

I have to agree

And I really like TK on PTI also.

Or did they just replace him?

Scratch that.

As long as Chucky stays in the booth and doesn’t become our HC…

Colt

I think this article was well written… let’s see what the future hold starting with pre-season.

It would be nice

to see Colt start one (or two) of the pre-season games to see how well he matches up against the opposing team’s starting defense. If we could ever get a substantial lead in a regular season game, we might be able to see what Colt can do. Hopefully, he can show enough in training camp to be officially named our # 2.

Colt is definitely a polarizing player. He does have a “cult-like following” on one side, and then others who have already passed judgement and say that he sucks.

I'm with you...

Plus it protects JC for a game. Pre-season is a constant butt-clencher when it comes to worrying about getting guys through to the regular season.

Great Points!

Let’s see the Redskins with a WINNING season this year!

On the field and off the field.

HAIL!

No Heath Shuler

What? One of the worst QB decisions since… Eddie LeBaron?

Sometimes we are more memorable for the bad decisions as the good decisions.

Sometimes the best action...

is no action (all I’m gonna say).

Plz!

Give me a break about CB. The dude played against guys trying out to make the practice squad at the end of preseason. I hope CB becomes a solid backup eventually, but the fact that he can’t even compete to replace an aging Collins shows that he’s a long term project at best. Everyone popped a chubby at this kid because we liked seeing our offense dominate and give it to the opposition…unfortunately, it wasn’t anything even resembling a good starting defense in college football. We saw how well Colt did against that in that bowl game against Georgia. Can we get real please?
