who thought that we'd still be seeing ricky williams play?
Tell me about it. And he still has tremendous speed. Maybe more Running Backs should start smoking weed to retain their youthful exuberance;)

And that one guy does three jobs!!! LOL.I still think Zorn is a pretty good coach, personally, but he's completely in over his head wearing as many hats as he does.
You could build a successful coaching staff around Zorn by tearing down the offensive coaching staff and piecing it together again around what Zorn does well (i.e. call protections, make halftime adjustments), but hell, it's way easier to just blow the whole thing up and throw a truckload of money at a pretty face who can make losing fun again!

Are you referring to a certain ol' ball coach who is now in charge of the South Carolina football team? LOL.

It's difficult for me to watch other teams play.
Not only are their offenses more advanced, they actually blitz successfully!
I've been making excuses for JC, Kelly, Thomas and pretty much damn near everyone else on the team but I just can't do it anymore.
It was disgusting to see Maclin and Collie make plays, We get jack shit from our guys...
I'm embarrassed to say that Daniel Snyder needs an intervention and that intervention is losing.I've been spouting off about the cure for years now: INVEST HEAVILY IN THE O-LINE IN THE DRAFT AND THE OFFENSIVE PROBLEMS WILL DISAPPEAR.
It doesn't matter how good the skill positions are when the QB can barely get to his 2nd progression without getting hit.

Would you believe the Redskins have 10 former first round picks on their roster?

But I was actually referring to Shanahan.
Our coaching doesn't suck because Zorn can't coach, it sucks because it's Jim Zorn and a bunch of people who have no idea what Jim Zorn is doing. Jim Zorn has no particular concept of understanding successful receiver route combinations, and there's no one on staff who complements that weakness. So our routes are just very vanilla.
I think Zorn did everything that was advertised of him (trained Campbell), but with the benefit of hindsight, this plan was destined for failure from the beginning. The warning signs were there, I just wasn't close enough to the team to see them.

except for the rams
The Rams are the worst team in football. I will be shocked if they win one game. Just totally shocked.

Actually, yes. Which makes it even worse. We have like three in the secondary, I believe. Then there's Campbell and Samuels.
Who else, Portis and Orakapo?
