I totally agreed w/the 3rd down penalty, so did B. Billick. The Skins D should be able to stop a rookie qb on 3rd & 13. They did a great job in coverage, but couldn't get to the qb. Still, I think that was the absolute right call.

This is where I think that Zorn lacks the brains or guts to be an NFL head coach. What do we know about the Redskins running game? That we are a stretch left based running game. That's what we want to do when we're up against it. 4th and 1, we go bulk personnel and we do exactly what the scouting report says we will, with predictable results. The play SHOULD have been fake stretch left, QB boot.

The bootleg (to the wide side of the field no less) was WIDE OPEN. The backside CB crashed down so even if there was only 1 TE in the pattern, we would have had either Campbell walking into the end zone or an easy toss to the TE. If I can figure that out from my easy chair, why can't Zorn figure it out from the sidelines?

It's that denseness/arrogance/idiocy that will ultimately get him fired.
