Campbell's progress will obviously be stunted quickly as he's running for his life. Hopefully in next year's draft the 'skins can work to address both the offensive and defensive line. I still think they'll beat the Giants. How wild would it be if the 3-0 Redskins took on the 4-0 Lions? You can call me negative, but I am very worried about the losses along the offensive line.

How wild would it be if the 3-0 Redskins took on the 4-0 Lions?

It was like the game was background music to some ESPN show. Way too many cut aways and storylines that had nothing to do with the game and not enough talk about what is actually happening. Its too bad too, because Jaws can bring some good stuff (i.e. the shot with how Campbell had started to move his eyes away from his receivers), but instead it was one quarter talking about Andy Reid's kids and another talking about McNabb and the Philly fans. Just terrible. I forgot to mention the biggest negative… the tv. It was like the game was background music to some ESPN show.

It's starting to look like he needs to throw a pick to get the nervousness out of his system and become calm and cool. - His miss of a wide open Santana Moss. Jason has the killer instinct, but he let the knife slip when it came time to slide it into the Eagle's hopes last night with that overthrow. I can't help but think that that play will return later in the season, with different results, as young JC matures even further; by this time next year, in a similar situation, at the 1:10 second mark, we won't be looking at "Oh please hold them on this play!" and we'll be in "Yeah, too little, too late! JC just sealed the deal with that bomb to (Cooley/Moss/El/Betts/etc.)" On the other hand, how could Chris Cooley drop that early pass that would have done nearly the same thing, deflate the Eagles once and for all and let them know they are playing to keep it respectible?
