Anyway, back on topic if we can. Since there are no 1/2 ratings did you round up to 2 for this poll?

.... Heck, I'll make it a 5, just for you... I love him, I love him, I love him!!!

Happy?

4. I feel good about him right now, which is what were polling. He hasn't dismantled a good playoff team in order to make sure people know it's his team. I always thought that was extremely arrogant when a coach takes over and gets rid of good, quality players and coaches. He hasn't really had to handle players attitudes yet that I'm really aware of. We'll see after 3 early division road games if he's got what it takes.

Also, is this an oral zornometer or rectal zornometer? I'd hate to unceremoniously insert it in the wrong end for several reasons.

OK, so after hearing Zorn tonight I'm going to say I might be with you guys. Two games in and he is on the money and more importantly DOING what I like. He speaks the truth no matter what about the players regardless of their status.. and I like it. So I will up my oringinal vote of 1.5 to 3.5..but not to a 4 because he needs a hair cut.

Didn't Spurrier go undefeated in the pre-season? Yeah he gets a 1 by default..I like what i see so far but Spurrier killed it for ya

Wow...that's a HUGE jump in only 1 PRESEASON game difference. Not really convicted in your opinion huh?

[memphisskin]

I'm gonna go with 3, the only thing keeping me from a 4 is Spurrier, he still haunts my dreams. Everytime I see the 70th Anniversary uniforms I think, Trung Canidate, Matt Bowen, and cutting Stephen Davis.

I'm not taking this poll thing very seriously, as you can tell... it's just entertainment at this point.

How did Spurrier kill anything for me? I'm not sure I understand what you're saying

How have you missed the several other posts pointing to this subject?

I'll catch you up. Spurrier was had AMAZING results in the preseason which included scoring the most points EVER in preseason history! Then came out like a lame duck.
Not saying Zorn is identical to Spurrier, don't think anyone is saying that, but we are cautious that we have seen positive results in the preseason go sour when it matters most.

It's impossible to judge someone when nothing important or significant has occured.

Is it pronounced ZORN-o-meter, or is it zorn-OMETER?

Obviously this is the most critical question.

That sounds awfully familiar

Ah, yes I remember those spurrier days. we were pretty awesome in preseason. too bad we had patrick ramsey (or j. patrick as spurrier called him????) amongst most other starters playing twice as long if not longer than any other starter in the league during preseason. Not to mention exposing the playbook before game 1. We should look at the positives from our first 2 preseason games this year. #1 Our first string offense has scored touchdowns against a first string defense in both games. #2 Our first string defense has held other first string offenses to 6 points, with 3 coming by default.(w/o Landry i might add) #3 Our second string for the most part looks good enough where someone can comfortably step in due to injury. (they did last year) #4 and last but not least...no major injuries, at least thus far. hopefully we can keep it up when week 1 arrives.

I am at a 4. I really like what he's doing and where the team is at. Of course when the real bullets start flying things could change.

Did anyone hear Portis' interview on the Sports Reporters show (ESPN 980 in DC) last evening? I almost drove my car off the beltway when he said that Gibbs did not have any (thats 0) audibles last year. Whatever play was called in the huddle was what they went with because there were no checkdowns or audibles. That is an amazing statement. And to think we laughed at Marty when he used only 1.

I thought that was interesting because wasn't there a whole fuss last year when (maybe after the first Giants' game?) Gibbs made a comment about how he had given Campbell the option to run or pass on a critical 3rd down and JC saw the defense and called run?

It's Saunders' offense that doesn't use audibles. I think we covered that a few times previously.
