Well I was lazy yesterday, but i'm going to be lazy again today. Here is a list of our injuries, (copied from CBS sportswire)
With starting quarterback Mark Brunell missing a third consecutive practice due to pulled rib muscles and with young quarterback Tony Romo having been so impressive in his first start for Dallas on Sunday night, Jason Campbell was the focus of a lot of attention as the Redskins returned to work Monday after a four-day break that ended their bye week.
"I'm getting more and more comfortable," said Campbell, who split the first-team snaps with veteran backup Todd Collins after taking the bulk of that work in the previous two practices, Oct. 24-25. "Doing it last week, I was able to carry over things to this week. It made me feel like I wasn't an outsider looking in, that I was actually in the group. You can know everything you need to know, but you have to build that chemistry."
Campbell, for whom Washington traded three picks to move up and draft in 2005, was impressed with Romo, who waited more than three seasons for the chance to start for Dallas.
"(Romo) played with a lot of poise," said Campbell, who has yet to play a snap in his 23 career games. "That's something you have to do when your first time comes. No matter how many starts you've had, you have to play aggressive ... You've just got to stay patient, stay confident, stay positive until your number is called. You go through different trials in life. Hopefully (I'm a backup) for a reason and it will pay off one day. I've seen guys thrown in there who weren't ready. I've seen guys who've had to wait ... (San Diego's) Philip Rivers is having a good year (after sitting for two seasons). I support Mark every way. Until my time comes, I will always support him."
Brunell said that he expects "to be back strong" for Tuesday's practice and that he'll start against Dallas. Coach Joe Gibbs said that there has been no change in the order of his quarterbacks in which Collins would play if Brunell were hurt during a game while Campbell would start if Brunell is out long term. Gibbs added that he talks to Campbell "a lot about patience," but said, "Anytime Jason gets to work, it's good for him and good for us."
Defensive end Renaldo Wynn said that changing quarterbacks can be good.
"Sometimes you just need something new, a changeup, a little bit of a spark," Wynn said. "Romo brings some new energy, gives them a better chance to be successful. His first time certainly worked out well for him, and it will continue to build confidence in him and his team. He's still learning, but he does get out of the pocket. He made four first downs with his legs (against the Panthers). It was a risk, but it looks good for them right now."
Asked if the Redskins might get a similar lift by benching the inconsistent Brunell for Campbell, receiver Santana Moss remained fully supportive of the 36-year-old veteran.
"I have 150 percent confidence in the guy throwing the ball," Moss said. "It's not something we need to get riled about."
