Zorn has to take some blame

[Rock Your Face]

I would agree with criticism of Zorn over some of the bizarre game management type decisions (using your last challenge to push them back 5 yards), but I also think he is doing the best he can with limited offensive personnel.

Looking back those early wins were great but neither the Saints, nor the Cards have great or even good defenses, and I think now we might have to acknowledge that some of the stuff that worked against the Eagles and in the first Cowgirls game worked in part because of the lack of tape on Zorny's offense. Kind of like a pitcher getting off to a hot start in baseball, and then getting lit up his 2nd or 3rd time around the league.

The more concerning problem is the simple lack of playmakers on offense. Everyone knows CP is the horse and they load up to stop him. People shade a safety over Moss all the time because there is no second receiver that scares them. In addition, now when Moss does get open down the field, JC does not have the time to get him the ball.

I think Zorn will continue to improve as a play-caller as he gains experience, and he does seem to have a good knack for in-game adjustments (something that seemed to be lacking in Gibbs 2.0), as witnessed by the use of screens tonight. But until we get and/or develop some secondary receiving threats, we're going to continue to see more of the same.
