Joey and I went outlet shopping today. I finally got some khakis that fit right and some new Adidas sneakers. She got some new Lucky jeans. Its pouring rain tonight(7:32) and will probably rain throughout. We picked up some food from Fresh Med down the block.
Hopefully, the Skins offense can score a goddamn touchdown tonight against the defending champion Steelers, whom I hate.
First drive--3 and out on 3 passes. Crap. But wait, a fake punt. Renewed drive with a couple nice short passes by Campbell, and some nice runs by Portis. But they chickened out and 4 down from the 2, and went for the field goal. 3-0.
Campbell threw a couple of incomplete passes because of busted screen plays. He missed on two long passes. The first one, Kelly had a step but it was under thrown. He overthew Santana Moss on an easy pass. On third and long, however, he hit Chris Cooley for a first down--his only completion of the game.
The first team defense came out with a lot of intensity, but DeAngelo Hall made a stupid personal foul and the drive continued.
But then, it was over for the first teamers. So much for building any rhythm or conifdence. I wanted to see Campbell get 4 or 5 possessions and maybe even lead a td drive. Instead, he goes 1-7 and his evening is over. Its not like he doesn't have a lot to work on.
Chase Daniel looked pretty good. His fade td pass to Marko Mitchell was perfect. At 6 foot 5, Marko just has something that Santana Moss doesn't. Daniel also threw the winning td pass to Sleepy Davis.
Regarding the fact that Campbell got yanked so early without finding any success, Steve said that this only bothers us fans and that the goal should be to get him into the regular season healthy, and let the defense win games for us like the Ravens. It would be nice to win games like that, but if that is how it goes down, Campbell is not going to be on the Redskins next season.
And another thing, those great khaki pants I got from Banana Republic? It turns out that two of them suck, and the third pair, which fits pretty good, doesn't really work with my belt. So, you know. Crap.
