Lets see we had 3 different guys try to return punts with the same result last night. Its not the returners its the blocking or the lack of blocking that is the problem.
Hall never got a chance, it went out. Moss scored last year with the same shoddy blocking and came close to breaking another one. He just falls to his side easier than ARE now.

The effect was a 27-17 loss. That's all folks!

I don't think it's a Hixon issue at all. I think it's a JC issue when it comes to trying to get the ball down the field to the receivers.
The few rare instances where he does have time, he either rushes through his reads or he doesn't attempt a pass unless a guy is wide freaking open. Who many times do we see him pull the ball back down and dump it off? The MNF crew noted this several times.
Yep, watch the plays on SportsCenter or in other games.. the good qb's put it where it needs to be and the WR makes the catch, that DeSean Jackson catch is the exception, not the rule.. but then Campbell check down and put it right on a perfectly covered guy because he doesn't know what to do, like on that batted ball/INT.. he was going moss who had a guy closing in on him and if I recall correctly.. a guy on his inside, of a slant...
Good seeing other people saying that he won't let the receiver make the catch

One more point to add to my bountiful posts
The 2nd pass to Davis in the end zone looked to be directed towards Davis.. even though the first pass was behind him (he did manage to get both hands on it though), I can't see Zorn going back to Davis on the next down, whether it was a different play or not
I think that's one thing that we see being a difference between the two

Jaws and Gruden were fantastic at breaking down the game. The new MNF crew is my favorite bunch of commentators right now. The level of knowledge that Jaws and Gruden bring to the table is unsurpassed. It is a real shame that Gruden will probably only stick around for one season. They are top notch.
Like Jaws said repeatedly, you have to be willing to make throws into tight windows in the NFL. Guys are not going to be running open very often. Now the Redskins receivers do struggle to win one-on-one match-ups, but Campbell also does not allow the guys an opportunity to succeed. Clearly the offensive line is a serious problem, but the MNF guys did a very good job of highlighting the many instances where Campbell left plays on the field. That missed double move to Moss was heartbreaking, but Jaws saw it right away and the production crew went directly to the wide shot. That is Emmy worthy stuff right there. I have bashed the ESPN MNF crew in the past, but they are really on point this year.
That's nice to hear. Glad that you're liking it this year

great point. I don't think Sherm was thinking: "i'm not going to pass anymore since we aren't catching the ball"

especially to a the same guy
and I think that I mentioned it before but there'd be about a -45% chance that Zorn would've run the same play on the botched snap, the one that Thomas scored on.. yet thomas was open again

Right, he would have said he used up DT's one pass play ;)
