Reputation of Sherman Lewis- our new play caller

Well Lewis has a lot of experience in the WCO but his track record for playcalling isn't very good. Compared to Zorn though, it might be great and we get more production.... or we might find that playcalling hasn't been the problem, it's the players. It's probably a little of both. Either way it should be interesting. Since we really have no control in what we do we might as well hope for the best. Zorn's playcalling has been criticized repeatedly, so if that is the problem, maybe mixing things up can help. If things go further south, I can't see Vinny getting out of this unscathed since most of these changes seem to be his decisions. I think they saw the kind of man they wanted to lead this team in Zorn, but they don't know how to handle the adversity now that things haven't gone as planned. The way I see it, either things work out, which would be great, or Vinny ends up looking desperate and incompetent which should lead to change and that wouldn't suck either.

Covering it on espn they showed a lot of the mistakes, lack of execution, and were like "oh yeah, that's zorn's fault too" "ooo fumble, zorn's fault" .. then after bringing collins in "oh yeah, campbell was the issue.." etc

we do rank number 1 in fumbles though and zorn needs to make sure that's fixed immediately, no excuse for all of them, especially just on shotgun snaps

went on to mention vinny brought zorn in, most of the personnel decisions are on him, etc

stuff that we all knew and have mentioned for awhile, but have passed by on the news, but now they're actually giving us significant airtime, I guess that's a good thing

won't hear anybody saying that there's a media bias now. and everyone finally has to admit that there hasn't really been

Id rather playcalling go to the other Sherman. He has no experience either, but atleast he's more familar with the offense. The main thing (other than just plain sucking at pretty much everything he was hired to do) is Zorn was being pulled in too many directions.

What offense bro? Is that would we have been doing for the last 6 games. I thought offenses were suppose to score points. We dont have a offense lets hope Sherman Lewis can game plan better than Zorn.

Yep, the last call he made was "B-27".

Well if he goes out their and we score of 21 points what the hell would that make Zorn look like? I tell you it would make Zorn look like this:confused-

Playcalling might be better, but it all boils down to execution. Zorn might not be a good play caller, but still the players should be able to execute them no matter what is called.

I think the Players dont even believe when Zorn calls a that it will work. They had to make a change because Zorn runs the offense and it has gotten worse every game.

My biggest issue is that we don't know that Sherm can call it any better than Zorn, it's not like he's very well known for it. I would've preferred it went to Sherman Smith, at least he's been here for awhile and helps come up with the gameplan

The FO wants to give the play calling over to a coach that has playing experience. Sherman Lewis does and Sherman Smith doesn't. Zorn has lost the confidence of his offense players in my mind. Its time to try a new approach so why not let Sherman Lewis get a shot at it? Zorn is gone either in the season or the end of the season. I think they need to let Blache or Gray take over for the rest of the season and let Zorn go now.

Here's real insight of Lewis' history.. Doesn't look real good..

Thank you! I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until we see how he does on Monday night, but I don't see at all any serious reason for optimism. He basically had the job of Sherman Smith- title of OC, but didn't do shit for all those years.

Our FO is absolutely the worst. I Like Zorn, but I'm glad he's sucking if the rumors are true that Vinny's fate is tied to Zorn's.

I think the Players dont even believe when Zorn calls a that it will work. They had to make a change because Zorn runs the offense and it has gotten worse every game.

exactly, and execution suffers when players think they are playing for wile E coyote super genius.

This will be a good thing. Possibly a REALLY good thing

Lewis is old. Not saying that old dude's cant hack it. But he's been out of football for quite some time hasn't he? I heard some of the team hadn't even met him yet.. Can't say that bodes well for the Monday night's game..

Again, another band-aid that Snyder and Cerrato are putting on a severed leg. There is no reason to make this move unless you are looking to remove Zorn at some point during the year.
