Zorn himself said that that would likely have been a td had the ball not been underthrown. So I'm just going by what Zorn said. My main problem is that in his postgame interview the first thing that JC mentioned was the 2 dropped td passes. Not a word from him about his underthrown ball. A complete lack of accountability from JC, as usual.
We will NEVER see accountability out of Campbell it's always someone else he mentions not himself.
Does this count?After the Giants game:
During his first full season as a starter in 2007, Campbell had major problems with ball security and opponents recovered eight of his 13 fumbles in 13 games. With the help of Coach Jim Zorn's ball-security drills, Campbell committed only one turnover among seven fumbles last season.
Campbell takes great pride in his improvement in that area "but I just held the ball too long there. It wasn't because of anything like that [a fumbling problem]; I just needed to get rid of the ball sooner. He [Umenyiora] is a great player and he made a great play.
"We have some plays that take longer to develop than others, some of the routes, and I always want to give our guys a chance to get open. I don't ever want to give up on a play. But as a quarterback, you have to understand you just need to get rid of the ball sometimes. That was one of those times, so I got on myself about that."
Sounds like taking responsibility for the fumble, doesn't it?
Ok. That was a nice read. But, when Jason is being interviewed by the media I want to see him take accountability for his poor play. Not just read about it.

... so if he doesn't take responsibility for it in the correct medium, in the instant you happen to be watching, it doesn't count? That's ridiculous.
