The Washington Post reports that Jim Zorn was very impressed with how quarterback Jason Campbell looked on Tuesday, making decisive throws and showing a willingness to unload the ball to a particular area even if a receiver was not entirely in the clear. "Jason Campbell today was lights out," Zorn said after the morning practice. "He pushed through a lot of decisions."

Quarterback Jason Campbell said he expects to be 100 percent in a couple of weeks, according to the Washington Times. "I just pulled my hamstring a little bit," said Campbell, who last year missed the final three-plus regular-season games and the wild-card loss at Seattle with a dislocated left kneecap. "I won't be running for a while."

May 7, 2008
Quarterback Jason Campbell tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's practice, according to ESPN. Head coach Jim Zorn said Campbell's legs have been feeling the effects of practicing a more compressed stance, something the coach hopes will give the quarterback more maneuverability. "I have him sinking down a little bit," Zorn said. "It's a change, and so I was kind of excited about it -- not that he tweaked his hamstring but just the fact that different things are happening."
May 5, 2008
Jason Campbell fits the profile to be the Washington Redskins quarterback; however, this match is not apparent because of his prototype size or live arm, but due to the fact that he is familiar with the West Coast scheme, according to USA Today. "I ran the West Coast my senior year at Auburn," Campbell said after the first minicamp practice on Friday. "A lot of the things we're doing, I've seen it before."
May 2, 2008
New head coach Jim Zorn admits that he would like to have more of the offense in place at this point, but that learning how to be a head coach and preparing for last week’s draft got in the way of him achieving that goal, according to Pro Football Weekly. As a result, Zorn will offer up a “minicamp book” of offensive plays that the team will incorporate into this weekend’s five practices. Zorn said that base of plays should be a good foundation for rookie players such as receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly and tight end Fred Davis, once they rejoin the team during organized training activities later in the offseason.

The Washington Redskins, sporting a new coach and a plethora of needs to address, have apparently identified the supporting cast for their talented young passer, Jason Campbell , as the most significant need to address in this year's NFL Draft. The Redskins found position with their picks to target the top receivers in this year's crop of incoming rookies, nabbing Michigan State's Devin Thomas (ranked by many as the top target available for hire in this year's draft) with the 3rd pick of the 2nd round, followed by selection of USC TE Fred Davis (one of the top offensive players at his position in the draft) with the 17th pick of the 2nd round and Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly with the 20th pick of the same round.

Quarterback Jason Campbell has credited head coach Jim Zorn with making mechanical adjustments in his throwing motion that have helped him in passing drills during the Washington Redskins' voluntary offseason workout program, according to the Washington Post. "When I make statements about how I'm changing Jason, it's not to compare with what has been done in the past," Zorn said. "I really get in trouble, and I've gotten in trouble on comparison questions, because somebody has not done it right. But it's just philosophy, so I've done a couple of things. He's so tall [6 feet 5]. Instead of him standing tall the whole time, I have him compressed a little bit, just to bend a little bit and give him the opportunity to move laterally quicker than maybe what he's done in the past. I'm glad he would comment on those little things. They're going to help us and we're going to make plays."
April 21, 2008
With their preparation for the NFL draft completed, the Washington Redskins are among the teams considering making trades to change their draft position. The Redskins hold the 21st pick in the April 26-27 draft, and they are expected to discuss trading down if the top players on their draft board have been selected when they are scheduled to pick, according to the Washington Post. "You never rule anything out," Executive president of football operations Vinny Cerrato said recently. "When you're trying to improve, you explore all your options to make the team better. If someone comes to you with something that makes sense, you think about it."

Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn told the media at the owners’ meetings this week that QB Jason Campbell will have to “develop over several years” in order to grasp the complexities of the West Coast system, according to Pro Football Weekly. Zorn was quick to praise Campbell’s footwork, which is something the two of them have spent the most time working on since he was named head coach. Although the entire offense has yet to be installed, Zorn has a working playbook that will be ready to be implemented in mini-camp. Campbell already has a decent feel for the plays he'll be expected to run. For the record, Hasselbeck threw 22 touchdowns against 18 interceptions in his first 22 starts in the West Coast scheme. Those statistics came after he learned on the sidelines for two seasons. The scheme can be difficult to assimilate, making Campbell a mid-range backup quarterback in the fantasy world.

The first 2008 preseason game will take place in Canton, Ohio on Aug. 3 (NBC, 8 p.m. ET), and features the Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins in the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, according to NFL.com. It will be an eventful weekend for the Redskins, as two of the greatest players in their history –- cornerback Darrell Green and wide receiver Art Monk -– will join the class of 2008 at the Hall induction ceremonies. We’re not counting, but you only have 122 shopping days until the kickoff of the preseason games.

Owner Daniel Snyder is sure that Jason Campbell is the right quarterback to lead the Washington Redskins organization, according to the Washington Times. "Jason has performed good. We need to him to perform great," Mr. Snyder said. "He's professional, intelligent, eager to learn. He's got all the attributes of leadership. He's the type of guy that you're thrilled to have. We feel good with Jason as our quarterback. There are a lot of teams that would like to have Jason Campbell." In three seasons, Campbell has started 20 games – completing 57.7% of his pass attempts for 22 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. The expectations will be raised in the nation’s capital in 2008 coming off a wildcard playoff appearance.

The Washington Redskins have an offensive staff filled with coaches who have never called plays on the professional level before, according to FoxSports.com. Zorn, who is considered a quarterback guru, hasn’t been tasked with play-calling duties during his career, but has already stated he will perform the task this year. It will be interesting to see what type of impact the departures of Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders and Gregg Williams has on the continuity of the organization in 2008.
February 22, 2008
Jason Campbell is the clear-cut starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins in 2008, according to the Washington Post. Redskins HC Jim Zorn also stated he would like to try to retain backup Todd Collins to provide some competition in camp. "There's competition. I don't think that Todd should come in here feeling like, I'm never going to play” said Zorn. “He'd better come in thinking that he's got to get himself ready. He's got to push Jason and take over if he can. And then Jason has got to think to himself, I'm the guy. This is my team. I'm not looking back.” According to earlier reports, Campbell is fully recovered from his dislocated knee cap injury and has already been cleared to play by passing his latest physical.
February 9, 2008
Ending a wild month of speculation, the Washington Redskins have reportedly settled on Jim Zorn to be their new HC replacing Joe Gibbs. Zorn will likely be introduced by the team on Sunday as their head coach just a couple of weeks after the team initially hired him on January 26th to be the Offensive Coordinator. Zorn will become the sixth coach since Dan Snyder purchased the team in 1999. AP
