Thoughts after minicamp?
Of course we weren't there and are so thirsty for any kind of news about our beloved Redskins that anything resembling actual football excites us, but what are your thoughts after this weekend?
One positive thing I took from reading the players and coaches comments about Zorn is that they are excited and re-energized by him. It seems by the comments of the weekend (especially the offensive players) Gibbs 2.0 was a stifling environment and didn't let the players do what they did best. In a 3 day span there were comments from Randle-El, Moss, Cooley, Jansen, Portis, Campell, Samuels and Thomas all referring to the offense 'opening up' and 'letting players make plays'. If Campbell develops, even a little bit from where he left off last year, he should be dynamite with the weapons he has. To a man, the defense seemed happy about working with Blache in a simplified system that allows them to make plays as well. There is such a thing as 'over coaching' your players. The obvious negative was the Fred Davis situation. Zorn can turn that into a positive by the way he handles it behind closed doors and we'll see if we have more instances along these lines or if it becomes a one time thing. Overall I'm stoked and wish training camp started today!
