Blaming execution is coach-speak for "the plays I'm calling should work, but players are screwing up". At some point, Zorn has to take some responsibility himself. Zorn is the anti-Gibbs in this respect. Joe took more bullets publicly for his players than they probably deserved, but that may explain why his teams never quit, and rallied to make the playoffs in '05 and '07. Zorn should take a page from Joe Gibbs on accepting more of the blame publicly.
