Zorn seems like a nice guy. I don't fault him for failing as a head coach any more than I fault Batiste (and last year Justin Geisinger) for getting lit up when forced to play left tackle. CP said it best yesterday on the John Thompson Show - you can't blame a guy (referring to Batiste) when he's giving it everything he's got. I beleive Zorn is giving the job everything he's got. Its just simply not good enough. Zorn worked with Holmgren for the better part of a decade and he never got promoted above being a QB coach. No one else even interviewed him for an OC position - yet Daniel Snyder made him a head coach in one of the toughest divisions in football. Go figure.
As to Hall's comments - honestly, I don't mind them. In fact, I'm happy he's telling it like it is. This team is falling apart at the seams and this is just further evidence of it. Hopefully, things will continue to unravel and, at some point, Snyder will realize the front office structure has to change. So I applaud Hall. No amount of interceptions he catches will do this franchise more good than the words he's speaking now.

I totally agree, and I think this is where I part with the masses. I don't mind and don't care if these guys are calling out the coach and other players. As long as they're not being disrespectful in their tone, I don't really care. How many times have we seen the Giants overcome locker room controversy and players speaking out and go kick ass on Sunday. During the pre-season we thought the Brandon Marshall fiasco was going to sink the Broncos. It didn't. This team looks poised to be a serious playoff contender.
I just think the notion that a player voicing his opinion, publicly, and stirring the waters a little bit is overblown.
