D.C. Examiner: Zorn's job in jeopardy? (not so fast he's coming back)

JC has taken some wicked shots over the past few weeks. I swear it's Spurrier/Ramsey all over again.

You're defintely right, it's a pass-pro issue....but the first INT, Samuels just got beat. As a coach how do you account for that, you have a Pro Bowl LT out there, you have to believe he'll win that battle. Are you going to hold a back or TE in with Samuels? You do that, and now what do you do to help Jansen, who you know is struggling. What about anything coming up the gut? One of the overload blitz sacks was a BAD line call by Kendall, he's pointing down and there's 3 guys from Samuels out, at the snap he goes down to help Rabach with no one anywhere near his A gap. How is that Zorn's fault? Let's not forget Zorn is the HC, but Buges should have fixed the pass-pro issues if they were a scheme issue. We've got an OL that's struggling terribly and no scheme in the world can fix that. Bad OL = Poor offensive production.

And since teams know we can't pass, say hello to 8 & 9 man fronts....goodbye run game.
