In Jim Zorn we trust!....

It's just so damn refreshing to have a coach who plays to win. This is what we've needed for the last four years!!!! Did anyone see Zorn on the sidelines before the 4th and 1 call? He wasn't even thinking about punting. He knew we were pushing around the Eagles front 7.

Amen Brother!!! Gibbs would have punted and put the game in the hands of Gregg Williams's D. From the big 4th down pass to put away the New Orleans victory to this, Zorn is utterly unafraid to put the game in the hands of his offensive players when they have a chance to seal the deal.

To play devil's advocate, how much of this do you think is due to lack of faith in Brooks right now?

I don't think that has much to do with it. If Brooks was that bad, wouldn't we have tried to cut our losses with him and at the very least brought other punters in for a workout? These very short 4th downs we're going for are really in keeping with the style of playcalling Zorn has shown overall.

I agree. It had nothing to do with the punter. Plus how great of a call was that? Zorn had the field spread out and ran the ball out of shotgun. We never ever ever did that in the past. If that was last year we would've punted. But let's say we did go for it we would've been in jumbo package and the defense would know we were running to the left. Two times yesterday we ran the ball out of shotgun when the defense wasn't expecting it.

I really don't think that had anything to do with it. Zorn has shown he trusts his players and will go for the throat, I think that was the case yesterday.
