After going an impotent one of seven passing against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jason Campbell seeks to revive the Washington Redskins' offense against the acclaimed New England Patriots in the third full weekend of preseason action.
While the Redskins did take a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in their second preseason game, the win had little to do with the starting quarterback. The team's first possession was propelled by the running game to three points while the second possession did little at all.
Campbell will keep the first string qb job for the first weeks of the regular season regardless of performance but will need to step up his game against the Patriots to revive the confidence of fans and perhaps Campbell's own fellow players. With Todd Collins locked in, Colt Brennan and/or Chase Daniel should get time tonight in the battle for the final qb spot.
On the other side of the ball, the Redskins will have to cope for at least one half with New England's explosive Tom Brady-led passing attack. Cornerback Carlos Rogers won't play for the Redskins this week due to injury, leaving the remaining corners with their work cut out.
Start time tonight will be 8 p.m. EDT nationally on CBS network (WUSA/9 in the DCA) and WTEM/ESPN/980 radio.Labels: pro football, sports, washington nationals
