Colt Brennan Leads Washington Redskins Over Indianapolis Colts In Hall of Fame Game

Picking Apart 4th and 5th Stringers Never Looked So Pretty

The last time we saw Colt Brennan he was buried under a pile of Georgia Bulldogs and removed from the Sugar Bowl for his safety and future.

That future got off to a promising start, as promising as one can be against 4th and 5th string defenses, with Brennan leading the Washington Redskins to a comeback victory in the Hall of Fame Game.

Brennan, a 6th round pick, got his chance in the 3rd quarter and was given the reigns for the remainder of the game. As he entered, John Madden shared that Jim Zorn intended to run the ball early and often to keep the clock running. Jim Zorn 1, John Madden 0. I like this new coach already.

9-for-10 completions, 123 yards passing and two touchdowns later, the 'Skins ran over the Indianapolis Colts to a 30-16 preseason win.

It wasn't just Brennan that performed well, Jason Campbell led off the game going 5-for-5, for 61 yards and a touchdown pass. Coach Zorn brought in his passing offense, keeping the running the same as under Joe Gibbs, and it's early reviews have to impress Redskins fans even if it is just the first of five "scrimmages."

More than anything, wasn't it nice to see some football again?

Yea... that was a heck of a performance by the 'Skins last night - Campbell surprised the hell out of me - has a much quicker release than last season - and a deeper drop. Brennan... WOW - I didn't think he would do that well - even against 4th and 5th stringers... And the running game - it was the best of both worlds!

Yea it was the first preseason and things will change I am sure - but the 'Skins sure looked "Super" last night!

2	I won't say super like my buddy Brett up there, but I liked it. Mostly just the execution. Nothing fancy, just solid football all around. People did their jobs. What I'm most surprised about is that I had the game on the entire time.

Me too - I watched the entire thing - I was expecting to switch at halftime and by the 4th quarter for sure. I like what you said hskr - "Nothing fancy, just solid football all around. People did their jobs" - and it has been so long since we have seen that from the 'Skins... I guess I just got "school girl giddy" over it!

0	The offense was on last night. Zorn is off to a great start anytime you combine QBs for only three missed passes. The offensive lien did a heckuva job in run blocking as well. Marcus mason can nmake things interesting for a reserve RB slot. Mark DC Pro Sports Report

I believe in Jason Campbell a lot. He can throw the ball deep, and he's a big boy. Obviously Colt can throw the ball too, so it's nice to see that the Redskins have some depth at QB. Things will be different when the Regular Season starts, but the Skins have to be really happy with their "6th Round" draft pick...I listened to a local interview with Colt after the draft, and he talked a lot about listening to others and working his way up through the system no matter what. This is a nice start for him!
