Backup Quarterback Competition Continues

I got off my couch again on Tuesday to go to another session of Redskins training camp, and was lucky to see one of head coach Jim Zorn's inventive QB drills.

Zorn used a piece of netting with three squares cut in it to work on the quarterbacks accuracy while throwing wide receiver screens. The quarterbacks would snap the ball, and Zorn would instruct them "Left," "Right," or "Center," and the quarterback would have to hit the target.

Of the players vying for the backup position, Colt Brennan by far hit the most targets. He wasn't perfect, but the ones he did miss were only off by a small margin.

Todd Collins had a solid outing, but did little to separate himself from Brennan. He was accurate with the ball, but still hit less targets than Brennan.

Chase Daniel, on the other hand, struggled with this drill. He seldom landed one in a box, and on a few throws missed the net completely.

Zorn seemed to make it clear the rest of practice that Daniel is trailing in the competition, giving him zero snaps during 11 on 11 work. Zorn has praised his work, but it is still clear he has a ways to go.
