October 10-- Campbell goes to Favre's house unannounced
QB Jason Campbell won the NFC offensive player of the week award after going 23-29 against Detroit.. He was quite charming today during his weekly press conference saying it was great honor to win the award but credited his teammates for all their help in the 34-3 win over Detroit..
Campbell was asked about the big game Mike Sellers had and he cracked, “It was good for him because he’s got some dried grass on his chin and now maybe he’ll change the color.” Campbell was extremely complimentary of Sellers, the two have spent a good amount of time together off the field with Sellers helping him in “life lessons” and well as how to be a better pro.. Sellers story is well documented with substance issues when he was younger bouncing around community college to the NFL, CFL and back to the Skins..
Campbell admitted he went unannounced to Brett Favre’s house this off-season while he was in Mississippi and rung some gate bell.. Favre apparently wasn’t home so Campbell left.. Asked how long he stayed, Campbell laughed, and said “not too long, I didn’t want to invade his privacy or come off as a stalker.”
Campbell attended Steve McNair’s camp as a young football player but said he never went to Favre’s, but has had occasion to meet the hall of fame bound quarterback and was hoping to talk more to him after he became the starter for the Redskins..
Injuries: WR Antwaan Randle-El did not practice (hamstring), he has never missed a game in his career and said “I don’t intend to this week either, but I have to listen to the doctors.” DE Phillip Daniels did not practice (shoulder) He called himself “fine” and said he intends to play this weekend in Green Bay.. FB Mike Sellers missed practice (heel), he missed a couple of days last week with the same injury.. LB Marcus Washington was held out (hamstring)..
WR Santana Moss returned to practice after missing the past couple of weeks with a groin injury, he suffered no setbacks and is on schedule to play against the Packers..
GB injury list: Out: CB Will Blackmon (foot), C Scott Wells (eye).. All of the following were limited in practice: T Chad Clifton (knee), TE Bubba Franks (knee), CB Al Harris (back), WR Greg Jennings (shoulder), DE Michael Montgomery (knee), RB Vernand Morency (coaches decision), CB Charles Woodson (foot)..
Skins CB’s Shawn Springs and Fred Smoot both rare relishing the opportunity to play against Favre this weekend aware the opportunities to get some opportunities to make plays.. Springs says Favre “doesn’t discriminate” when he throws the ball and enjoys playing against him because Favre will tell him before the game that he will throw it “at me.” The last time Springs was at Green Bay, he was playing for Seattle in a playoff game where Matt Hasselbeck famously told the referee during the overtime coin flip, “we’ll take the ball and we are going to score.” Hasselbeck proceeded to throw an interception for a touchdown on the first possession of overtime..
This is the second straight week the Skins are facing the league’s top pass offense.. The last time Washington won in Green Bay was 1986, they also defeated the Packers in Milwaukee in 1988.. They’ve only been back a few times since, the most recent was a 37-0 MNF loss in Marty Schottenheimer’s lone season and a 30-9 defeat under Steve Spurrier in his first season as head coach..
OK men..
