Colt Brennan Chronicles - 9 September 2008

In an undisclosed location

The regular season has started and that means the third string quarterback disappears, *poof*. Let us take a moment and catch up with Colt Brennan.

In the Hall of Fame Game preseason game one against the Colts Colt comes in to start the second half, goes 9 for 10 123 yards and two touchdowns in two drives including a 20 yarder to Maurice Mann. The nation's capital is mad for Colt.

Preseason game two was at home against the Bills, again Colt comes in to start the second half, gets three drives is 4 for 8 37 yards. Colt is remembered as the hero of the game for his eight yard pass to undrafted rookie free agent receiver Horace Gant on 2nd and ten from the Washington 49.

In preseason game three on the road against the Jets Colt comes in to start the fourth quarter and sparks a comeback from four points down with a 33 yard touchdown pass to rookie free agent tight end Jason Goode to win the game. Like a wolf Colt is now methodically marking his territory with the pass catchers.

The Redskins were spanked in preseason game four on the road against the Panthers, again Colt came in to start the fourth quarter, Colt manages a couple of decent drives that went nowhere, the Redskins were down 47-3 when Colt came in, does not matter that it is preseason, when you are losing that badly you just want to go home, 6 of 12 for 53 yards, it was a mercy kill.

In the fifth and final preseason game at home against the Jaguars second string quarterback Todd Collins does not play, Colt comes in to start the second quarter and plays the rest of the game, eight possessions no points on 13 of 18 118 yards.

Colt makes the cut and then with a pop of closing vacuum, inactive in game one (PDF).

Colt has a fantasy team in a league with other Redskins players. His team is called MENEHUNE and he has a not bad team that includes Washington's defense. Looking at the other teams in this league Chris Cooley has Jason Campbell as his quarterback (ouch), Jason Campbell has Santana Moss and Chris Cooley and Ethan Albright has Clinton Portis.

New weekly feature: three quarterbacks Colt is probably better than. The three quarterbacks Colt is probably better than for week one:

Carson Palmer, CIN @ BAL: 10 of 25 for 99 yards and an INT. Two of Carson's passes were longer than 20 yards meaning the rest of his line for the night was at best 8 of 23 for 59 yards. A 35.2 rating Carson? Really?

Peyton Manning, IND vs. CHI: 49 attempts Peyton? Yes the Bears have a suffocating defense and it was your first regular season game in the new venue so it was a bit unfamiliar and yes you missed the entire preseason with a knee, seriously Peyton the Bears offense still lives at its parents house.

David Garrard, JAX vs. TEN: two INTs and seven sacks? What are you waiting for, an invitation?


I hope you will join me every week as I find new and creative ways to keep Colt Brennan in the news. Perhaps one week he will adopt a child, a small child, perhaps save an injured baby fox and they will develop a special bond.
