Does He Make You Zorny, Baby?

[MTK]

Jim Zorn is the sixth-most popular coach on ESPN’s NFL Coach Ratings, with a 91% approval rating.

That’s up from 33% in Week One.

Once again, the rookie coach has shown that he’s fast taking the Redskins from lead-squandering underachievers to a team that isn’t going to try and run out the clock with a three-point lead and a half to play. For the second week in a row, the Redskins scored a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, unlike last year’s 5-halftime-lead-squandering squad. After these first three weeks under the new regime, it seems that Jim Zorn has taken Joe Gibbs’ run-out-the-clock, mediocre offense and used the same talent to make one that is more than willing to deliver the coup de grace. It’s refreshing. And effective.
