It's the only thing McNabb does really well, IMO. As for the Pats, their offensive line is good but you can't tell me that Brady and the receivers aren't the straaw that really stirs that drink.
As for Zorn, his devotion to the outmoded WCO will be his downfall. Campbell can't run it the way Hasselback did and if he wants to survive he needs to get over the notion that you can run the Redskins offense exactly like they did in Seattle.
On the bright side, our defense may be good enough to carry us while they figure out how to score more than ten points.

Well, remember we're not running the WCO really because of Zorn. We're running it because of Cerrato. It was VC who said "Hey it worked when is in San Fran. Portis and Santana have each had success with it in the NFL, Campbell succeeded with it in college. I can bring Zorn in to run it as an offensive coordinator..."
