Some people like to point fingers towards each other but I'm putting this one on GOD. Its all his fault for not blessing him with the talent.

Overall my Zorn Meter

Energy--8. He is no geriatric man. This isn't a shuffleboard team Im glad we are more relateable to guys in the first 1/4 century of their lives.

Tutorage--8 Thats a sliding scale with JC looking like he is relapsing. But JC has HEARD alot of new instruction. Can a new dog learn new tricks???? Plan B for Brenanan in the works and hopefully Plan C for Collins will be done after this year and we can find somebody worthwhile.

Knowledge--7. I think he gets lost in the hypothetical or philosphy too much but honestly, only behind closed doors will that be shown. But at the QB position he is known, how to run an offense is different from running a huddle. His playcalling deserves a potent Coordinator and is Sherman the guy or just a friend. It didn't work out for Billick/Fassel

Final Product---3 By week 12 with our starting QB playing everygame this is a lateral season progressing no where. Lack of WR is obvious but sending Sellers out wide for patterns is a travesty. Never capitalizing with spreading the field lining up 4-5 wide except when we are trailing or last drive of the game really defeats the purpose.

Overall liking him personally, though we never met, probably keeps him here another season AT LEAST from a fan/ player perspective.

He knows he's loved here. He is getting a Phat paycheck. I just hope his interest in US stays the same. We need him to like the system. If we really cared about him taking a pounding we would dump BETTS and find a replacement. If Betts isn't taking KR/PR than we can find a guy who can and spell for CP. Since every team knows we won't or can't throw the ball on their top 3 CB's they stack the box it has to be hard on CP. Thats why he made those comments earlier this year.

Consistency is STEP #1. Our impatience causes us to work backwards way too much. I like that he is very personable. He enjoys his life and can be seen sporting a smile on every day BUT game day. Things could be worse, lets not overlooked that. I hate to relive/rethink Saunders but it seemed in both of their first years Saunders' seemed slightly more productive with passing yards and thats all we need. We need 300+yd passing a game and everythig else will fall into place with that. I just worry that Zorn doesn't have a phonebook size playbook, maybe just a 12 page playbook and the last few pages are Steve Largent caricatures.

I saw one I think in Steelers or Dallas game and it looked like a surfer getting engulfed in a killer wave. 3 yard loss. It looks like our guys lost a step to run our sweet sweet counter trey.

I'm down to a 3 on the Zorn-O-Meter.

Please get me back to a 5, Jay Z!

3. The offense has digressed. Opposing teams have figured out Zorn's attack and he is making very few adjustments. Too many passing plays that go sideways. Rely too heavy on Portis. As Portis goes, so goes the Redskins. Zorn needs to use his passing threats more. I point of emphasis should be to get Santana Moss going early. Use Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly and Fred Davis. What the hell did we draft these guys for, blocking downfield, running end reverses and special teams. Throw them the damned ball!

I'm still at a 6.5 with this guy. I actually would give him an eight but with a couple of bad losses and with me really wanting Cowher last year im a little impartial. But i give him more props then i thought he would do worse then what he did.
