Interesting take on the Redskins from the guys at NBC; here’s what they had to say on the air tonight:
Rodney Harrison: “It’s many problems dealing with the Washington Redskins. One problem in particular is Jason Campbell, the quarterback. I don’t know what they see in this guy. To me, he’s a backup quarterback that’s been elevated to a starter.
He’s a guy that’s unpredictable. He’s inconsistent. He’s not a guy that defensive players look at and fear.”
Tony Dungy: “I wouldn’t blame it all on the quarterback. He threw for a lot of yards today. They’re having trouble scoring. I think it goes to a bigger thing, maybe an organizational thing. It’s always new free agents, new players, all-star guys. They need to build a team concept there.”
Dan Patrick: “It seems like Daniel Snyder treats it like it’s a fantasy league team. You bring in [Albert] Haynesworth. They were trying to get Sanchez. They’re always looking for something different. There’s no core there.”
Dungy: “It’s not always getting the best players. It’s building a good team, building a team that everyone has confidence in, and, right now, they don’t have confidence.” My take: Harrison faced Campbell so his comments are telling. But Dungy is more accurate, that this is bigger than the quarterback. The Redskins can change the QB after this season as well as the coach. If the culture doesn’t change, the future won’t be much different.
