I think Zorn likes the run, run, bootleg on the goalline, but we don't have the personnel with the second team to run it. Yoder never gets off the damn line of scrimmage, and Cooley is always well covered.

With Sellers going backside to sell the run, the play never ever works.

This is just simplified goalline stuff, and any quarterback can execute it.

As much as I like Zorn and Campbell as people I'm becoming less sold on them. I hear you on Yoder, he shows up for 2 or 3 big plays a year where nobody expects it

Zorn still gets a pass since it is his second year, but I think we have seen all we can expect out of JC.

I wouldn't debate that

I mean due to pride and job security it's hard to give up playcalling unless you're joe gibbs 2.0 - but I wouldn't mind him letting sherman smith do more than help with the gameplan.. I don't exactly know how the plays are getting called though, with gibbs you heard who it all went through before finalized.. don't hear that now

Yeah, you are right there bud. We have some exciting new tools it seems, but now we have a QB problem with an aging line. We can't afford to run Clinton into the ground anymore.
