A good run game and defense might have won a championship 20 years ago. In today's NFL, high-octane, aggressive offensive schemes win. Zorn has also showed that he is willing to adapt his offense to his players as opposed to forcing the players into a system. Saunders had a 700 page playbook that was based on timing and a lot of pass protection vs. Zorns simplified west coast hybrid involving a lot of quick, short route passing to combat today's blitz-happy defenses. Conservative play calling and "hoping" to win will only get you so far. I certainly don't mean to diminish what Gibbs has done for this organization. His direction has brought us the players we have today, but now we have the coaching to realize the potential.

Well said...gibbs was what held us back..his conservative attitude was frustrating for many players on the offensive side of the ball..Im not saying Zorn is the end all beat all...but...i like his innovation and perhaps the fact that because he is a rookie head coach, he is more inclined to take chances and run up the score.
