WitP: Your Daily Colt Brennan News

Redskins.com has a new press conference video of Colt Brennan in the Redskins.com TV section. A lot of what he said was used to update his blog.

We had practice for the first time this week [on Tuesday]. After practice, we were going to watch film, and Coach [Chris] Meidt turned to me and said, 'You were pretty horrible when it came to technique, but you made up for it with some pretty nice throws.'

That is something that I have been talking about and progressing through--just trying to get the footwork down and the mechanics down. At the same time, it all comes down to what you do when you get on the field and making sure I go out there and throw successfully.

Did it bruise my ego a little bit to hear Coach Meidt say that? No, not at all, because I know the things that I need to work on. When you get in a game, you just want to go do what is comfortable. I knew [the criticism] was coming. But I felt comfortable out there.

Here's an AP article titled "Hype aside, Brennan has a long way to go."

Brennan was by far the most exciting quarterback in the game. He had completions of 34, 26 and 20 yards. Both of his drives ended with touchdown passes, including a 5-yard toss to Marcus Mason after a scramble to the right.

Of course, he was playing with backups against backups. And that 26-yard pass over the middle to tight end Jason Goode? That was one of "a couple of risky throws and very fortunate catches," according to Zorn.

"He was very accurate in his throws," Zorn said. "I thought his decision making was average. Even on the big play he threw to Jason Goode, that was not a great decision. But the decision he made on the corner route for a touchdown? The scramble play for a touchdown to Mason? Awesome. So it's just a mixed bag."
