I think Zorn has too much confidence in his players. He believed in his O line enough to think they could get 1 yard against a bad team when he asked them but they couldnt so he asked his D to stop the Lions at somepoint on a 99 yd drive but they couldnt. Zorn was making a statement and it was a statement that he believed in his players, unfortunately his belief was misplaced.
I agree. It's pretty sad if a HC doesn't have enough confidence in his o-line to get 1 yard, and if you can't stop a team from driving the field that's starting from it's own 1 yard line, well..that's just as sad. How many other 99 yard drives has Detroit had this year? I sure as hell didn't expect it. Had no reason to.

True, but it was his improvisation and dialogue. According to Wiki he wrote his own lines.
he was only intended to be the technical advisor, but Kubrick changed his mind after Ermey put together an instructional tape to convince Kubrick he was the right person for the role, in which Ermey went on an extended hair-raising drill instructor tirade towards several Royal Marines (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Marines) cast as extras, all the while being pelted by oranges and tennis balls, and managing to do so without repeating himself, stopping, or even flinching.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Lee_Ermey#cite_note-0) Kubrick allowed him to write his own dialogue and improvise on set (including a hilariously obscene observation on the proper etiquette of sodomy), a noted rarity
