Also, I do like him as an agent of change (seems like everyone making a bid at Washington D.C. is trying to ride this wave).


I'll formulate an official opinion after the first preseason game.

But by the same token, no one knows the game like QB's do. I mean think about it for a person to play or coach QB's you have to understand the routes the WR's run, pass protection schemes, timing on running plays, and most importantly you have to understand opposing defenses and how to attack them with passes, play action, and the running game. I'm confident that Zorn understands many aspects of the game and thats why I'm riding the wave so to speak.

On top of that Zorn is probably going to bring in a quality guy from the Titans who used to play RB, which in my opinion will help balance the offense, though I doubt Zorn shares the same fondness for the passing game that Spurrier did. Then consider that he has guys like Don Breaux and Buges, who worked under Gibbs, to guide him through all the intricies of being a HC, not to mention that the guy has worked with Holmgram since around 2001. Then if that wasn't enough you have a quality defense led by a quality coordinator in Blache that has produced year in and year out regardless of the coordinator (save GW's off year and that guy that Spurrier hired to replace Marvin Lewis). Not to mention that hes also walking into a situation with a top notch special teams unit. Hail!!!
