One of the questions/criticisms of Zorn when he was hired from those who knew him in Seattle were his stubbornness and ability to deal with adversity. He's confident in his abilities and ideas but had a tendency to be rather rigid in his beliefs. It'd be nice to see some adaptability to things that may make the offense more effective.

True Paintrain but the debate is still out if that has to do more with Zorns playcall, Campbells ability or Zorns confidence in Campbell.

I also expect to see more creativity in the offensive scheme and we should in 09'. We still have to keep in mind that Zorn played his rookie year last year.

Point is we went 6-2 with Zorn and a healthy team. We went 8-8 with Zorn and a unhealthy team and not much depth. I certainly agree Zorn needs to step up his playcall and adaptability, and of course some of the blame is his. But not all of it. As was stated earlier.

But its way to early to say that Zorn lacks the ability. IMO
