To clarify, I don't think the O-line is GOOD, I just think they looked better than they had. The fact that Campbell had time in the pocket was a new experience to me. As for Davis, I seem to remember him bowling over a couple of people and getting extra yards in an impressive fashion. It's true that his blocking sucks though. Hey, I'm trying to be positive and there's not much for me to work with here. I guess my expectations for the offensive line are so low that I saw improvement.

He has no rhythm, can't see the field, has horrible pre-pass skills (drops his arm = fumble after fumble) and clearly lacks confidence and leadership ability. Oh, and he drops snaps and telegraphs his thoughts to the defense. I'm sure there is more, but that's all I can think of right now. And the o-line looks like JUNK. 6 sacks Guy, not good, AT ALL. Even with blitzes, an good o-line protects their qb. There will be maybe 2-3 sacks, not 6. The only good news I see is our Defense. They are solid. The offense is a mess. So Davis can catch, so what? He can't block and he can't get those after the catch yards that Cooley is known for. And this left tackle Jones (I think)? Throw him in and see what happens, can't get any worse I suppose. One new guy isn't going to "fix" our offense. Ultimately, we need a new quarterback, a new coach, an owner that can shut the hell up and no more Vinny. rd – Campbell sucks.

Yes, he got sacked a lot but the Eagles blitz a lot so that's going to happen. In some plays, Campbell had so much time that he could have had a quick beer before throwing the ball if he didn't get happy feet and rush things too much. I haven't seen him have that much time in the pocket all year. I'm with RD on the TD attempt. It's easy to criticize it in hindsight, but with the Redskins inept offense, that was the best chance they had to get a TD. If they couldn't get a TD on the 3 yard line with plenty of time on the clock, what makes you think they can get it late in the 4th quarter when they try to run the Five-minute-long, two-minute drill?
