Conflicting reports

I’ve heard Zorn say Colt has adjusted his throwing style and improved delivery. Colt said himself that he’s been working on adjusting his style. And I’ve seen recent video of him throwing in the classic style. Now Rich Tandler is reporting:

Brennan, in fact, has resisted attempts to alter the way he throws the ball.

I’m not sure why this rhythmic 5-7 step drop wasn’t something Colt could have mastered over the offseason. Maybe it’s no big deal.

Training Camp Practice Report: Aug. 1
11:35 a.m.

No. 3 QBs

The Redskins, as one reporter pointed out, lead the league in No. 3 quarterbacks with huge followings from their college years.

Colt Brennan is popular in Hawaii and Chase Daniel has his share of fans from Missouri.

Jim Zorn acknowledged that both are works in progress and that they are essentially competing to be the No. 3 quarterback. (Brennan, if he really shows improvement, could unseat Todd Collins at No. 2, but that doesn’t seem likely.)

“They have to be almost perfect on any rep they get,” Zorn said. "They don’t get the grace a starter would or a backup would. They are demanded to play perfectly so they can earn more reps. That’s it in a nutshell.

“With Colt, his footwork has gotten so much better, so he’s feeling more comfortable. He just needs to continue to rise up. And Chase, I’m not even focusing on his throws yet, I’m focused on what he’s doing with his feet. He’s frustrated, but he has a great attitude. He actually has a pretty good ball when it comes out.”

Any way they both could make the roster?

“I’m not going to keep four quarterbacks,” Zorn replied. “I can’t. I will not do that. That’s tough.”

Sounds like Colt is destined for the # 3...

I figured as much.

So far

Colt is not getting as many reps as Zorn suggested he would. Maybe Zorn is giving Todd one last chance to prove that he can execute the WCO. Maybe Zorn just hasn’t liked what he has seen from Colt. The frustrating thing for me will be if Colt comes out in preseason (with the same OL, WRs, RBs & TEs as Collins) and blows Todd out of the water like he did last year.

at the VERY least

can this put to bed the notion of Colt STARTING over Campbell this year?
