Re: In Jim Zorn we trust!....
No one gave us a chance to beat the Eagles, and it's kind of fun to see them squirm as they try to justify their picks. Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Jimmy Johnson all picked the Eagles to win. They didn't give the Redskins a chance...But this is a completely different team from the ones that Coach Gibbs led on his second go around.
I love Joe Gibbs and the memories of the Redskins teams of the '80s and '90s. Jim Zorn isn't a better coach than Gibbs simply because he's winning. Rather, he's winning because this year he finally has a healthy offensive line and the offense is just plain playing with more confidence. And I love the way Zorn gets into each game and adds to the confidence of each player.
I think we have a better defensive coach now in Greg Blatche, because I think he, like Zorn, passes the credit for winning around to his assistants and his players. My day is complete...the Redskins beat the Eagles in Philadelphis, right after beating the Cowboys in Dallas.
