I think I played pretty well in Saturday's intra-squad scrimmage. [Statistics provided by Redskins Public Relations had Brennan completing 4-of-7 p???? for 22 yards.] We went over the corrections and I had only one play [part of the corrections]. And [the play] wasn't something I messed up.

In the scrimmage, the defense was matched up really well with the plays we called, so I didn't have a chance to throw a pass downfield and really have some fun. I had to keep checking off. But in the same sense, I guess that means I'm making good decisions.

As far as my decision-making and going to the right area with the ball, I think I did pretty well in the scrimmage.

I've had to go against our first-team defense a lot in practice. It can be a little daunting at times, but I try not to think about it when I'm out there. I have to assume that we have one of the best defenses in the NFL.

You look around our defense and you see some of our cornerbacks and our safeties and our linebackers, with London [Fletcher] and [Marcus] Washington--I just figure if I can get in there and at least have some type of success, that will make things a lot easier when the preseason rolls around.

I've become a popular interview subject here at training camp, and I think that's because I've had a lot of success and I have a unique story for a couple different reasons. Where I went to a school--the University of Hawaii--is a unique place and I think a lot of people were really interested in watching us.

That's why the Georgia game hurt me so much. I think so many people wanted to see us do well and wanted to see us win. [Hawaii lost to Georgia 41-10 in the 2008 Sugar Bowl, and Brennan struggled against the Bulldog's defense. It's one reason why Brennan's stock may have slipped in last April's NFL Draft.]

Through my career and my past, I've been put in a spotlight, both negative and positive. It has really made me more open to the media. I like being outgoing, because all media is good media and you can always control what you say.

I have heard that my jersey is selling really well. I always joke that 90 percent of the fans buying the jersey are coming from Hawaii. I have a lot of loyalty to Hawaii and I have a great following there. I'd love to start the same thing here in Washington.

It's cool to see the celebrity status of someone like Jason Taylor and what he brings to the team. It's really neat when you get out to the practice field and you have Jason Taylor at defensive end, Clinton Portis as your running back and Santana Moss as your wide receiver. You kind of pinch yourself a couple times.

When I'm around those guys, I'm actually pretty quiet. I understand where I am on the pedestal.

I've never actually met Jason Taylor formally, but he has walked by me a couple times and said, 'What's up, Colt?' It just shows you that he's a really good guy.

I look forward to being around here for a really long time and getting to know these guys really well.
