But thats the thing, considering Byners rapport with the RB's and his track record here there shouldn't be room for a new RB coach. It's times like this where I'm reminded of the Water Boy.

I just heard on Doc Walker's show this evening that Byner has not been signed and I get the impression that some of that is due to how CP was seemingly allowed to do as he pleased during training camp. I wonder how much of that is to be placed on Coach Gibbs and how much on Byner?

I guess the RB in the WC offense plays a different role that will need a RB coach with WCO experience?

Sounds like they don't care at this point who's fault it was, and if that's the reasoning behind it as you say, I really can't blame them.

well we knew danny thought extremely high of him (why else would he have hired him before the head coach position was filled)...seems like a good guy- good luck to him

Whoa dude. WCO.... lets see, Bill Walsh, Mike Holmgren, Mooch, Shottenheimer. All winners and thats just a few.

Spurrier ran a retarded offense called the fun 'n' gun. Pass, pass, and pass, even when passing is not nessesary. I do not have proof other than the fact that i saw it, but Spurrier put poor Danny Wurfel in on a play with a Center, two Guards, a RB, and Trips Wide on both sides. The refs were so baffled that they couldnt even determine if it was leagal, but the other team's four D-linemen and two blitzing linebackers helped themselves to Mr. Wurfel in less than two seconds....

Spurrier could be considered a brilliant college HC where things are 1/2 speed compared to the NFL, but to comparing him to even someone who WANTS to be a coach in the NFL would be an insult.

I don't know what to think yet cuz the guy is in a word...unproven. QB coaching requires overseeing of a very limited amount of players and I don't know what to think of Zorn's chances of handling an entire team. That's not to say that he won't get it and be an awesome HC for the skins. 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!!!

Does anyone really trust any info coming from Doc Walker? If that is the reason given that is just ridiculous. Just fire the guy if you want to bring in Zorn's guy, don't go and slander EB. Oh, and by the way, nothing was Joe Gibbs fault if you ask Snyder so if they did have a problem with the way Portis was handled (I didn't see a problem unless that is why Betts didn't get many carries) they would blame EB, never Gibbs.

How can it be slander if the Redskins themselves haven't said anything?

Not sure why you repeated your entire post

But I guess you're saying Doc Walker is slandering him?

I'm saying I don't trust any info coming from Doc Walker. If that turns into the official line that is ridiculous. However it goes down if they kick EB to the curb I don't like it.
