Reputation of Sherman Lewis- our new play caller

Good. Vinny's final nail.

amen to that. Another interesting thing I just read - Its been tweeted (how is that even a word in our vocabulary?) that Sherm Lewis will call plays directly into Campbells headset. So, basically, Zorn has been removed entirely from the equation.

Now, i know on the majority of NFL teams, the offensive coordinator (or someone other than the head coach), calls the plays. (I think only about 8-10 head coachs call plays, according to some pre-game graphic I saw this past weekend). Does anyone know how these teams (especially the successful ones) handle the transmission of the playcall to the QB? Obviously, if the play goes through the HC, it delays the play getting to the QB. On the flip side, i imagine most HC's dont want to be bystanders.

One positive of having someone up in the booth call plays is that they have a better view of the field and a better perspective on what opposing defense are doing. Thats not to say I like someone from the outside being brought in like this, but I think the concept is a sound one.

A couple of comments after practice that are rather telling.

Zorn-“I need to have composure,” Zorn said. “I need to understand what the reality of the situation is, and I think our players expect me to rise up. We expect them to play under adverse conditions. We expect them to risk it all. … I’m conscious of what’s going on. I’m not naive about what’s going on, and yet I have to just hold back on any feelings and make the decisions.” That says to me that he knows he's on the way out but is going to ride it out the best he can. Class act, even if he's not a very good coach.

Jason Campbell-"There'll probably be a couple of plays I have in my head," the Washington Redskins quarterback said, "just in case if some reason it doesn't get in on time." Monday's game is going to be a must see for many reasons.

I could honestly see myself shutting this one off by halftime and playing Madden the rest of the night. It's going to be downright embarrassing.

I watched the whole stompdown by the Pats a couple of years ago and I'll be here for the entire game this week too.

According to the powers that be, what they have been witnessing for the last fourteen games has been downright disgusting. Monday night will begin a new chapter, and usher in new ways to be even more incompetent.

Oh that game was almost unbearable. Definitely the worst performance under Gibbs II.

...I don't think Monday night will play out that way. While I don't expect a win I think phat Al calling the team out last Sunday will light a fire under some guys. I think if Jones is healthy our line instantly gets better. It will be a hard fought loss I reckon...and I basically expect it to be the last of the season for us (not losses lol but hard fought games...i think the team spiral's after this game).

I think DS cleans house after the season.. but ill give the guy a chance and see how it goes. we couldnt score vs one of the worst defense in the league so i guess he couldnt do any worse.

From the looks of how the Zorn situation is being handled Snyder apparently hasn't learned his lesson. Undermining Zorn in this cruel & unusual fashion seems to be business tactics that Snyder has used in the past. That doesn't bode well for how much Snyder has 'learned' from all losing and fan fallout.


Do you think it's possible that Snyder announces a GM at the end of the season that no one has heard of and is essentially a Vinny Cerrato duplicate?...Right now that wouldn't surprise me.

Innovation!

That's the best reason I could think of to bring in Sherm Lewis. Innovation, I like that.

November 16, #1 Texas went to 9-0-0, with a 17-0 home win over Texas Christian. #2 Navy won 38-25 at Duke and #3 Mississippi shutout Tennessee, 20-0, at a game in Memphis. #4 Michigan State was trailing Notre Dame 7-6 at home in the fourth quarter, but Sherm Lewis ran 85 yards from scrimmage to win the game, 12-7. Both of the Spartan's 2 point attempts failed.[25] #5 Oklahoma won at Missouri 13-3, but dropped out of the poll and were replaced by Pittsburgh (which had trounced Army, 28-0) at the fifth spot. Texas, Navy, Ole Miss and Michigan State stayed at the top four spots.
