JLC Insider-Springs Reax to Zorn

Hiring Zorn as the head coach is the best news I've heard out of the Redskins in a long time. I didn't want Fassel, and I was afraid we were going to be stuck with him. I wish the draft were tomorrow because I can't wait to see the makeup of next year's team.

Can we just keep this thread to the player reactions?

Or better yet, player reaxtions? :)

Well I'll second it...

Gibbs did clam up and didn't try to score in his second go round here. We were way too conservative and we can go back and see the games we lost b/c of it. We all saw it, so it's no big news.

I've also seen a couple of digs about the things we didn't practice on offense lately that kind of makes JG's look bad.

I'm a big JG's fan but JG 2.0 left much to be desired. JG is a great leader of men no doubt, but our D led us in our 2 playoff runs. Yes, GW was a major part of that.

Ok, I'll ask again

Can we please keep this thread to just the players reactions to the Zorn hiring?

It's a new era, let's focus on that

Or better yet, player reaxtions? :)

LOL, sorry.. Reax is a media shortcut.. I hope I don't get lumped into the 'burgandy' and 'ridicules' crowd for that one!

LOL! I actually had no idea that was a media shortcut, so you're fully vindicated! ;)

3 things...

1. Player buy in seems to be high, which should help smooth the transition from Coach Joe to Coach Jim. The long period between coaches actually helps in a weird kind of way, because we've long since said goodbye to Gibbs 2.0 and are welcome to moving forward with Zorn.

2. The offensive guys may be better suited for this offense. I'd still like to see us develop or draft a taller receiver for the red zone (remember Darnerian McCants six scores?) but I see big things for Moss and Randle El in this offense.

3. The commitment to Jason Campbell. Glad to hear that the commitment is to further the progression of Jason Campbell. At first I wanted Saunders back just to prevent the poor kid from having to learn yet another offense, but who better to mold a qb than a former franchise qb. Glad to see that the organization is behind #17.

4. A bonus, Cooley is going to love this offense. The west coast doesn't feature the tight end, but Holmgren's version always has. Chmura, Franks, Stevens, when they have a good tight end then the west coast seems to really pop. Not related to player reax, but i'm a playa and that's my reaction!

Let's hope Zorn coaches better than you count. :httr:

lmao, I just caught that too.

Hello fellow SKINS.I want to start by saying,it was a good hire,not the glamour one.Ive read so much about how Zorn has never playcalled,run anything other than the quarterback,on a short list,etc.,etc.,etc.Give the man a chance and then grade him on effort and results.He has worked under a perfectionist in Holmgren,played with the same breed in Largent.Ask Hassellbeck about what was expected of him,people will see what hes made of in 08.I coach little league baseball and i do fairly well.The reason that is,I played baseball as a youngster,and still play today.So,i know the X's and O's fairly well.Zorn will be fine he knows X's and O's.He called plays behind center.
