    Campbell, dropped by an illegal and direct shot to the outside of his left knee from the blindside by defensive end Brett Keisel, was soon walking on his own with what is being called a bruise. Team doctors are confident Campbell's injury is not severe, Gibbs said, and Campbell said he will undergo an MRI exam today to ensure there is no tendon or ligament damage. "It was a scary moment," said Campbell, whose practice status will be reevaluated on a daily basis.</p>

    Jason Campbell could good if here were to have some continuuity. He played in 3 schemes while @ Auburn. His NFL career started with the Old schoolGibbs offense andthe Redskins brought in Saunders to implement the Mike Martz system.</p>

    Interestingly, MM's scheme is based on Don Coryell's and Gibbs was an assistant under Coryell. </p>

    FWIW; Brett Keisel, who played @ BYU, is a distant cousin of mine through marriage.</p>

    Not at all. Brunell's arms and legs are both gone. Campbell has never looked bad to me and he's got a cannon for an arm. They got to see what he can do, because he's the only guy who might be able to lead them somewhere.</p>

    As a Giants fan, this is good news.

    No love for Jason Campbell. But seriously, Brunell is godawful. He's the quarterbacking equivalent of getting in the fetal position and letting yourself be pummelled for 60 minutes [​IMG]
