(Editor’s Note: Ben Folsom, editor of uber-popular Washington Redskins’ blog “The Curly R” (curlyr.blogspot.com), will be frequently updating MyHawaiiiFootball.com on Colt Brennan.)
So Colt Brennan came in and led the Redskins to 21 unanswered points and a
preseason win over the Colts. Yesterday in practice, Coach Jim Zorn said Colt needs to get better. Zorn liked what he saw from the draft class for the most part. QB Colt Brennan's performance grabbed some headlines, as he went 9-of-10 for 123 yards and two touchdowns, but after reviewing film of the game Zorn wants to see fewer passes put up for grabs. "He has to become a more disciplined quarterback, and not risk as much as he risked in the game," Zorn said, while praising Brennan's exuberance and flair.Just a hunch, but Zorn was probably worrying on the third quarter, second-and-10, 26-yard throw to Jason Goode; a pass that went right through the hands of Colts’ linebacker Brandon Archer. Even Colt acknowledged after the play with his body language that it was a risky throw, John Madden got on him for throwing that pass with a safety prowling.
Guessing here, but Zorn wasn’t talking about the third-quarter, third-and-seven, 34-yard drop-in completion to Billy McMullen, or the third-quarter, third-and-six, 20-yard TD pass to Maurice Mann, or the fourth-quarter, breaking-away-from-pressure-rolling-right-third-and-five five-yard touchdown to Marcus Mason.Yesterday, we also learned that Colt strained a buttock. Lucky for the training staff Colt's crap don't stink -- so ice and deep tissue massage are pleasurable for all.
