WP Note: "As the Redskins prepare to play their final preseason game Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brennan is in a fight with rookie quarterback Chase Daniel to retain the No. 3 job he held last season. The swagger Brennan displayed before camp and preseason has been replaced by outward humility, which has been a refreshing change to some in the organization who thought the kid used to be way too arrogant for someone who had accomplished, well, nothing."
About how he's learned from his struggles this preseason and hopes it makes him a better QB, Colt said:
"It's tough. Obviously, you're right, this isn't where I thought I would be. But that's football sometimes. Right now, I just have to realize the situation I'm in. When I look back, I'm not embarrassed. I'm not bummed out about my play at all. No matter what happens, I'm going to be able to take away a lot. I got a chance to play against the [New England] Patriots' No. 1 defense and moved the ball. I've gotten a lot out of this preseason. Maybe the end results or the stats are not what I wanted. But everything I've wanted to gain through this preseason I've gained. No matter what happens, I know I'll be able to learn from this, grow and progress as an NFL quarterback. I've got nothing to be ashamed of. I could sat there and made excuses up. I could have sat there and pointed the finger and tried to take some of the blame off me. I didn't. I took it all in stride. ... I think part of being a quarterback in the NFL is going through adversity and how you handle that. And I've shown anything this preseason, is that I can handle adversity pretty well and not really get discouraged by not having success. I've battled back and I have one more chance to battle back this Thursday." (WP)
