How about your thoughts on our coaching staff?

Don't you think Zorn deserves at least another year instead of starting over?

Zorn had more success then people expected and he did it with a staff he didn't get to pick, a staff that doesn't even know the WCO, a staff short a position coach (QB coach).

Hasn't Zorn at least earned the right to coach another year with a full coaching staff that knows the WCO?

It was meant to be a sarcastic joke. but if we are going to have another discussion on this topic. I think Zorn or any coach should have atleast 2-3 years to emplement his system. Will Snyder give him that? My only issue/issues with Zorn is ...He's not showing he can adapt. He has not adapted his offense for his players. He has not adapted his offense during the season so other teams will not know what we are doing. He does not adapt during half time. He kinda reminds me of Spurrier in that he tried to force his system on a team that did not have the tools to emplement his system with. I'm at a cross roads with him. The offense has shown little improvement and thats the basis of this offense. It's supposed to be a passing oriented scoring machine according to Zorn. We havn't put up more then 20 points.

If and I mean if the team, and namely its offense showed improvement then I would say yes keep him. I just don't see that happening with the injuries on the line. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm not a foot ball coach. I'm not seeing were all the break downs are and I'm sure Snyder will have to understand and take that into consideration. Maybe there is no consideration. Maybe all our talk is BS and Snyder plans on keeping him anyway. We'll all find out soon though. The seasons almost over.

I remember Gibbs calling a fake WR screen to Santana Moss in the playoff game at Tampa Bay in '05. Moss took a step forward, then quickly shifted back behind the line of scrimmage to appear as though the pass was coming for him -- this drew in the Buc defender -- then he turned upfield as Brunell lofted a pass to him, but it fell incomplete. I've wondered why with as many flanker screens that we run, that Zorn hasn't called for this at least once.

Then again, I wonder why we don't run more play-action passes. It's one of the many things that makes me realize Zorn is still learning how to call plays.

I remember that. Gibbs finally made a nice play call and Brunell over threw it to Moss, who was open. Too bad that was the only time we ever ran that play.

Yeah, Brunell had all of 41 total yards passing in that game. I believe that's when they set the NFL record for fewest offensive yardage in a playoff game by the winning team.

Campbell would have 2 sacks recorded on him before he had the chance to throw.
