Campbell’s performance less than the sum of his stats

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 08:00:07 -0500

Jason Campbell’s numbers just don’t add up. Leading their team to a win, when trailing in the last two minutes of a game, is what kids dream of out on sandlots and while playing peewee football. It’s the ultimate act of sports heroism, snatching victory away from defeat when all odds are against you. Campbell’s opportunity to [...]

Eagles' defense presents a challenge for Redskins

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:52:00 -0500

The Philadelphia Eagles are tied for third (with Pittsburgh) in the NFL in sacks and rank fourth in interceptions. That means that, obviously, pass protection and ball security will be two important keys Sunday when the Redskins face the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. The Redskins' offense, and its offensive line in particular, face another challenging situation. "We definitely have to do our best to protect the football," quarterback Jason Campbell said. "But at the sa...

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:32:32 -0500

In Sunday's Redskins-Cowboys game, Washington quarterback Jason Campbell rolled out and threw a pass along the sidelines that the officials on the field ruled came after he had already stepped out of bounds.After a Redskins delay of game penalty, the...

McNabb on Campbell: 'No one wants to be benched'

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 12:50:45 -0500

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has been among Jason Campbell's mentors since Campbell entered the league in 2005. During difficult times, of which Campbell has experienced plenty with the Redskins, he often has reached out to McNabb for advice and guidance. Campbell and McNabb have had many discussions about events this season, including Campbell having been benched for the first time in his NFL career after halftime in the Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. "What...

NFL to Jerry Jones: Play was not reviewable

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:27:50 -0500

On his weekly radio show on The Fan, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the league office called Monday to tell him the booth replay of whether Jason Campbell stepped out of bounds before throwing the ball away in the second quarter Sunday never should have taken place. Jones said the officials were given a memo within the last month about such a circumstance. I've sent an e-mail to the league to seek more clarification. "It's just not reviewable from the very b...

who’s to blame: campbell or offensive line?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:06:13 -0500

(photo by Brian Murphy) By now, everyone is familiar with the “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” dilemma. Well, over the weekend, we participated in the Washington Redskins’ equivalent – “Who do we blame, Jason Campbell or the offensive line?” Regular readers of this site know where we stand on the issue. We’ve always believed [...]

Not Taking A Chance On 3rd and 1

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:00:09 -0500

Ok, I’ve heard both Jim Zorn and Jason Campbell justify taking the field goal on 3rd and 1 before the end of the 1st half and not taking a shot in the end zone. They both mentioned that Suisham hadn’t missed a field goal all season and they are correct. Campbell mentioned that if it [...]

More issues with replay

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:27:33 -0500

Last week Jeff Triplette's crew had some issues with replay. Now Alberto Riveron's crew is having an issue after Jason Campbell was ruled to have stepped out of bounds before throwing the ball. The tricky issue is that the Redskins were called for a delay of game penalty before the booth called for a review. Riveron announced that Campbell did not step out of bounds but the delay penalty still holds. Instead of third-and-1 from the Dallas 21, it will be third and 6 from the 26 with ...

Campbell: A big game in Big D

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:55:32 -0500

Quarterback Jason Campbell had one of the best games in his career last season while leading the Redskins to a 26-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium. Campbell completed 20 of 31 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. He had a 108.4 passer rating while leading the Redskins to only their second victory in the last 13 games in Texas. The Redskins on Sunday make their first appearance and the new Cowboys Stadium, and Campbell is eager to face the NFC East ...

Campbell vs. Cutler: The jury's still out

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:51:51 -0500

While watching the San Francisco 49ers' 10-6 victory over the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, I couldn't help but wonder what the reaction around these parts would be if Jason Campbell threw five interceptions in one game. I know Jay Cutler supposedly has a higher "ceiling" than Campbell, and successful football people I respect have often told me Cutler has more potential than the Redskins' quarterback. But it all comes down to what you do on the field, right? The 49er...

Campbell maintains upbeat attitude

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:00:07 -0500

Surprisingly, quarterback Jason Campbell still is upbeat. In listening to Campbell, you wonder if he realizes he plays behind one of the league's worst offensive lines, has been sacked 25 times in eight games - including 11 in the past two - and is considered to be among the Redskins' biggest problems, according to fans on sports-talk radio shows and Internet message boards. "I know how I feel," said Campbell, who chuckled about the pain of his sprained ankle. "But you ...

Campbell puts benching, last week's drama behind him

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:23:11 -0500

After being benched for the first time in his NFL career, quarterback Jason Campbell is scheduled to start tonight as the Redskins play host to the Philadelphia Eagles. And for the first time in 23 games, someone other than Coach Jim Zorn will direct the offense and communicate with Campbell on the field. Campbell has tried to remain optimistic during the most difficult time in his five-year NFL career, he said, believing that the team's starting quarterback must set a positive example. C...

Campbell gets start but not commitment

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:03:09 -0500

Although Coach Jim Zorn named quarterback Jason Campbell the Redskins' starter for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles at FedEx Field, it's not as if Zorn has totally recommitted to Campbell, whom he benched at halftime of the last game. Not in the least. In a meeting with the quarterbacks Monday, Zorn told Campbell he would likely start but told Collins to "be ready," league sources said. That's not type of comment from a coach that necessarily inspi...

Did Dan Snyder Bench Jason Campbell?

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:18:14 -0500

Tony Kornheiser was in the owner’s box yesterday and had this to say on his show: “At the end of the first half, Snyder was not where he normally sits for the entire two-minute drill. And I don’t know where he was, because he was in front of me.” Maybe that explains Jason Campbell’s halftime benching, because [...]
