5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now

[QUOTE]We were thinking last night about what a lot of analysts had to say, particularly player type analysts like Brian Mitchell, John Riggin, Rodney Harrison, and others you know, guys that see stuff as ex-players, guys that talk to the players honestly, guys that have a unique perspective because they played on the field.

can I bring up Hixon at this point. Fire him. why, why the heck not. I don't care if he is not the problem. I don't care if he is a great coach, let him go somewhere else, maybe Arizona will trade their wr coach. Seriously, it was asked that if DT/MK light it up this year will I give him credit, and I said yes absolutely. but as the article says, they are nowhere to be seen. Am I saying it is Hixon's fault, no. Am i saying he is a bad coach, not really, i am just saying we aren't letting our receivers go, none of them seem to be improving, so go get another coach, if just for change sake.

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
I agree with the suggestions. Particularly with the "play the young guys" attitude. If we're gonna lose (and we are), at least get these guys in to learn - M. Mitchell, Jarmon (who everytime I have seen him, has looked at least as good as Daniels), K. Barnes.

We've been waiting for this team to repeat and improve upon the limited success it saw under Gibbs (as others have said, this is still basically the Gibbs 2.0 personnel). Time to move on. Great guys, but above average talent at its best and now its just not gonna get better.

So frustrated I want to puke.

No way I agree w/benching Rogers, he's played well. Even on the td, he had tight coverage, the ball was underthrown. The secondary played well overall IMO, the reason detroit got so many yards in the air was 1) they ran effectively, 2) No pass rush. I don't care if we got 2 sacks (1 of which could be called a 'coverage sack'), there were times when Stafford got to look at both sides of the field twice before passing.

Unleash Campbell so we can see more bombs to no one, more flat fade passes out of bounds and new record lows in pass interference calls. Also, he needs to let Campbell scramble more and buy time, because he throws with such pinpoint precision when he's on the move.

I can't remember who it was now but I heard someone talking about how the Giants young receivers "attack" the ball and how the Redskins receivers don't. The Giants receivers aggressively come back to the ball and attack it while the Redskins receivers just seem to wait for it to get there. Why? Just putting that out there.

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
1. Zorn needs to get more creative in the run game. Wildcat, counters, traps draws
2. Blache needs to get more aggressive
3. Daniels would be on the bench and never see the field again
4. Move Orakpo to DE
5. I'd give JC a few more games but at some point he has to take some of the blame for an offense that can't score. And although his stats look good, he's missed some deep passes, he's held the ball too long and he not getting us in the end zone. He didn't play well yesterday even though the numbers don't reflect that. Maybe trying Collins isn't such a bad idea.

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
At 1-2, and with time to right the ship, I don't think an all out youth movement is the right thing for this team at the moment. 1-6, 1-7 and yes, you let the young guys get their feet wet, but the season isn't a complete loss. Jarmon did play yesterday, but both Barnes and Mitchell have several guys ahead of them. The downside to a youth movement is letting this guys get banged up to the point where they start regressing too much.

I agree with #4, but you have a former QB as your head coach and play caller, so unfortunately that's not going to change. Zorn is very uncomfortable in allowing Campbell to freely run the offense, and for whatever reason, Campbell cannot audible out when the team in the red zone. Zorn went as far as telling Sonny Jurgenson that last week. Something has to give here, and I think will have to be Zorn dumbing down his offense not because his QB doesn't understand, but because his players aren't executing.

#5 - Zorn does need to relinquish play calling, but his ego will get in the way of doing so. Again, being a former QB, he has a vision that he wants carried out and doesn't feel comfortable in letting others carry out that vision. He needs to take a step back and recollect himself. Allow someone to help with the play calling, preferably from the booth, and get this team's swagger back.

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
I agree with pretty much everything you guys are saying. I definitely agree with Bohnzie in that ZOrn will never relinquish the play calling. He was originally hired as the offensive coordinator two years back until he was brought up to head coach. His ego is entirely too big for that, and for him to give up play calling to someone else would simply exacerbate the problem and single out the fact that he isn't getting the job done. He wants to keep the play calling so HE can right the ship, and do you blame him?

In terms of play calling, they need to toss more screens or allow Campbell to roll out a bit more, almost what Gibbs did with Brunell a few years back when he was having issues in the pocket. Allowing such plays will not only get much needed chunks of yardage, but it will build Campbell's confidence. He is a good QB, but just needs to be put in the right situations. He is almost like your girlfriend or wife. You need to give him reasons to think he is a good quarterback for him to step up and play like one. It seems he is very fragile, but with some sort of consistency he will get better. JC has a real problem of checking down WAY too early (which is why Cooley had such a Pro-Bowl year two years ago) and he doesn't step up into the pocket very well. Tossing some quick screens and allowing him to move out of the pocket can eliminate these things and help him take better care of the ball.

Overall, it's not as bad as it might seem. Yes, we lost to the woeful Lions. But this could possibly be the best thing that has happened to us all season. If we get on some kind of run and get some consistency and win some games, we could look back and say that this was the turning point. Let's not be pathetic Philly fans or NY fans and jump ship. Have some faith, have some loyalty, and this thing will get fixed.

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
1 - Where are the passes purposely thrown behind the Receivers. I don't know the name of the route, but other teams throws those passes effectively a couple times a game.

2 - Why don't they roll Campbell out by design every once in a while?

3 - Why not a QB draw in the red zone, or bootleg (naked even), or play action pass to the TE???

4 - Why not a WR screen to Kelly? He stiff-armed some dude for the Jags in the pre-season and made the first down. It brings the corners up and sets them up for passes over the top. I used to hate the excessive use of this play during the Gibbs Deuce tenure, but I do recall it went for a 78 yard TD to Moss once. It can be effective.

5 - WHERE ARE THE PASS INTERFERENCE CALLS? The Lions managed to free up single coverage downfield several times and got a pass interference call and one TD that got called back. Why can't we get a guy downfield in single coverage and put the ball in a place that the Receiver can make an attempt at it??? Not even once in 3 games? We were dead last in pass interference calls last year. Maybe something to work on this year?!?!?!

I would choose Westbrook or Tryon over Barnes to replace Smoot. I do think it is time for Smoot to move on. IMO Barnes not as solid as the other two reserve corners in what I have seen. Tryon god aweful in his first preseason game but improved. Westbrook just seems to get his name called and is always around the ball. Carlos and Hall should remain the starters.

I was going insane when I saw Campbell roll out to the right all by himself when they ran it in RZ on 4th and 1. He could have walked in the endzone untouched.

The sad fact is everyone, meaning tv analysts, ex coach's, and fans, can see that during our 6 min drill ( cause we have no 2 min drill) JC actually moves the ball better partially cause he is in shot gun and everyone thinks cause JC is calling the plays himself. Yet when we are out of the supposed 2min drill we look enemic.

Right, and while he's doing that, they still don't give up, ours do. Whether JC is accurate or not, receivers shouldn't give up on plays. I would hardly call the pass to Tyree in the SB "accurate". The QB has nothing to do with receivers doing what they're paid to do. If I heard ONE receiver say, "What's the use, JC won't get it here anyway" I'd cut his ass on the spot. I'm glad you think EVERYTHING is related to JC but it's not. That's bullshit. Just putting THAT out there.

Agreed as well. Jason Campbell is likely not the answer, but he certainly is not the core of the problem. This team has several issues and the one that upsets me the most is lack of effort and passion. I really don't get that. I think the plague of this team is, many players have signed here for the pay day because they knew we would pay it, and that is the extent of their commitment.

These are good points.

I don't entirely agree with your first solution because I think Zorn need to turn over the play-calling to his OC. Zorn spends the whole game with his nose in that list of plays he carries when he needs to have his head in the game.

I agree that Orakpo needs to be moved to DE. He's more valuable at that position.

Yes, Daniels is finished but what has Carter done to deserve a free pass? He plays next to a man who is double-teamed and he still can't get to the passer. Sit him, too.

Play Orakpo at RDE and Jarmon at LDE. Chris Wilson is supposed to be a SLB now, so let him play the position. If nothing else, those moves should provide improvement in the speed of our defense.

I also agree that Blache needs to call a more aggressive game. If he did, he might be able to cut down on the long drives we're allowing. The defense needs to find a way to get off the field, rest, and give the offense more possessions.

On offense, I think Zorn should give Marko Mitchell and Anthony Alridge a chance to play some. I don't have any idea on what to do with the OL.

"Sanatana Moss."

also, moreso isn't a word

I'm not sure why you mentioned Bugel being a possible playcaller either, what reasoning would you have behind that? Sherman Smith I can follow, but Zorn decided to take it over his first year, if he gives it up now he's writing his own ending.

Jarmon did play some.

Exactly, the NFL is very pass friendly and you can easily move the ball 20, 40, 60 yards or what have you on a single call like that, just as good as getting the catch itself. Campbell needs his guys to be about 5 yards open like it's college ball though.

RobH4413 09-28-2009 05:47 PM

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
From my limited, but not entirely ignorant, offensive knowledge here are a few things I believe can be done with the current personnel.

1) [B]Bring back the WR screen[/B].

Those of you who are familiar with me on this board know I favor this play. There's a reason. It works.

Santana Moss and ARE are absolutely the perfect kind of receivers to run this play. Even Cooley runs it extremely well. It's a perfect play to add an extra element to the offense. It's a low risk, potentially high yielding play that is proven with the players we have on the roster. They don't take long to develop, and you can add an extra element to defend. Running fake screens can open up doors elsewhere.

2)[B] Encourage Campbell and his receivers to improvise.[/B]

We have seen Campbell in the past ad lib plays when things fall apart and he has proven to be effective, especially in the red zone. He needs to use his feet more, bootleg out, call some audibles, scramble. Receivers need to become aware when the play breaks down and get open for Campbell.

Side note: Our route running has been pathetic. It's like when our receivers know they aren't getting the ball they run half speed routes. I'm calling out Stan Hixon for this one. Selling your route, even when your not getting the ball, is crucial in dictating what the defense will do....

3) [B]Stop running trick plays[/B]

Like seriously. Just stop. When you run the HB pass every other series, it stops becoming a trick play. It becomes a bad offense. We need settle down on offense. I feel like Zorn isn't sure what the strengths of this team are, so he's putting a little here, a little there... and has not committed to anything. Part of gaining an identity as a team, is to establish that identity. Dictate the tempo on offense. Obviously, either said than done, but I'm sick of wasting drives on these cute little trick plays. They aren't working... use them sparingly.

4) [B]Mike Sellers

[/B]4th and 1. Give him the ball. 3rd and 2. Give him the ball. He needs more touches on the ground. The man can get those yards. I don't know why we haven't been utilizing him. Plus it's a great way to set up a stupid play action dump in short yardage. Just saying.

NYCSkin 09-28-2009 06:02 PM

Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now
 
1. Landry to SS and Moore starts at FS.
2. Orakpo to DE and Carter as 3rd down specialist. Wilson to OLB for Orakpo.
3. Portis or Betts (whoever practices ALL WEEK) plays all 3 downs on offense. If you can't practice--you are not playing. That goes for the whole team for that matter.
4. Script the first dozen plays and start the game and second half in the hurry up offense.
5. Thomas and Aldridge on KR and Aldridge on PR

4. More shot gun, more no huddle offense. We are beginning to think one of Jason Campbell's main problem is--- he is overcoached. I half think at times Jim Zorn treats Campbell as a robot. It's often said that coaches who used to be quarterbacks regard their current quarterbacks as extensions of themselves on the field, but that's not what they should be. Quarterbacks, like every other NFL player [only moreso] need to use their brains on the field. Let Campbell play quarterback in ways that suit him, such as more shotgun and more no huddle.

+1

Zorn shouldn't turn over the playcalling we move the ball well form 20 to 20.

Zorn needs to improve the gameplan inside the RZ and especially inside the 10 goal to go.

1. Defense has to be moving around on third down and not be set right in the 4-3, like have our DLman moving around standing up, whose coming who isnt.
2. Corners need to play tighter, and be like a guessing game with the QB, is he pressing is he backing off etc.
3. have WR's run more slants and digs, go's, screens, and less comeback routes
4. more outside running game and lead draws. and screens to portis.
5. more 5 WR sets, and jet sweeps.
