He is not a zone blocking style of coach and or cut blocking style like the Bronco's have. If you all want Portis to break open like he did in Denver we need a different OL coach. I think Portis has been telling all the coach's since he's been here that he could be getting more yardage. I think simply bringing in those two coach's knowing the WCO will greatly help Zorn in what he's trying to do. For all the times I screamed at the defense throught the tv, for them to go what 4th in the league is not bad......I guess. Pick up some OL, DL to collapse the pocket and maybe a DB and a LB or Safety. Can someone tell me why we still have Byron Westbrook still on the team? It's been what 2-3 yrs now on practice squad? He's either good enough for the field or can him. If they are developing him fine but other CB have hit the field and he still remains on the team on the practice squad.

Special Teams. What can I say. I was not impressed this year. Perhaps part of it is our kickers but punt return blocking is horrible. kick return blocking is average at best. Mostly refering to kick returns.

JC, not a bad QB and I truely think he's servicable. He definitly need to be coached up on reading the defenses and learning the plays better in order to be able to change the play at the line to protect the side the rush is coming on. Give him some better hot read routes. and.....everyone needs to learn the 2 min drill. I look at the Colts and Giants and Patriots and wonder why on earth does it seem so difficult to teach it. You can't have two min. left in a game down 2 scores and be getting up slowly from the last play and huddling up. Have several plays in mind to run during a 2 min. drill and use them.
JC isn't a bad QB, meaning he isn't a great QB, with stats that are just a tad better than my forum name's. Guy has one more year to prove his worth or I guarantee he won't be resigned. I say that mostly because he will almost assuredly ask for a hefty raise and the front office isn't going to think his performance is worth it if he doesn't turn the corner in '09. Gus didn't turn the corner in '97 and was shown the door, as will JC after '09.
