How The Zorn HC Hire Effect Jason Campbell

[Redskin Warrior]

Since Zorn was hire as HC does this put J.C. at a little disadvantage? I was hoping for Zorn & Campbell to be hands on like he was with Hasselback all those years. I mean it's quite different now they were hoping Zorn could push J.C. over the hump. We can only hope another coordinator can?

He should still be pretty hands on with JC, and since he's going to be hiring his OC and QB coach you can bet those individuals will share his same offensive philosophy.

I agree. JZ and JC will be joined at the hip for a while. He will spend more time with him and let the other coaches concentrate on all the other areas, atleast in the beginning.

That's what I'm thinking. He's been a QB coach for a while, so he'll be able to give that extra help to get JC where he needs to be. JC already knows he can play and compete, hopefully they'll let him use that gun he's got.

Everyone including me is assuming that Collins is a goner. But are assuming too much too quickly? What do you think the chances are that Collins stays? 1 in 10, 1 in 100? Personally, I think he would thrive in the west coast system. Just wondering if anyone thinks there is any chance he stays.

I think he's gone too. He is going to follow Al to STL. Which leads to my next question. Who's going to back-up JC? Brunell?

At age 37, he'll go where the money is.

And if that ends up being here, then we DO have an issue with the front office structure.

I'm anxiously awaiting to hear from Jason just what he and Zorn spoke about in their brief conversation prior to our playoff loss in Seattle. Hasselbeck mentioned he introduced Jason to Zorn, they chatted at such length he wishes now he hadn't.

Even though he plans to hire a QB coach, I too beleive he'll still find time to work extensively with JC on certain things. He actually made mention of something I agree Jason could benefit from working on; position under center, and explosion from the LOS. The fact he has to crouch that way takes a mili. sec from his dropback. Interested in seing just what a difference that will make. Seems small, but in reality it's huge.

Jason should now be sleeping over at Jim's house and study hard

I read in the Washington Post that one of the conditions to Zorn coming here is that he would be able to work one on one with Campbell. So, Zorn might be able to work out some of JC's kinks and bad habits (I hope anyway).

Short term I wouldn't be surprised to see Campbell struggle out of the gate, but I think by midsesason he's going to hit his stride and become a very good QB under Zorn.

[Redskin Warrior]

Matty, I hope so he is a damn good QB he just needs a little polishing and more experience.

I think if JC puts in the same amount of time this offseason we will not see much of a problem come the beginning of the season. Learn the terminology and then "explode" off the center and play your game.

[Skinny Tee]

I already had the sentiment of Zorn when he said "Oh well, get used to it".

Campbell should be professional enough able to adapt to his surroundings. Campbell is not a ten year boy in junior football. This guy is a grown man, let him fend for himself and if he can't do it bring in someone else.

[SKINStoWIN]

I think Zorn's experience could help push JC to the next level. It can't hurt.
