play calling???

[Paintrain]

Listening to the replay of the Zorn show on 980 (ESPN 980 Audio Vault - Play Now) earlier today, yikes.

At the 2:53 mark he said, 'We were down 17 points, I wasn't panicking, I was running our plan... I could have abandoned the run and threw the ball but I felt we were in the game, totally'. What game was he at?

At the 3:50 mark when pressed on the pass/run balance in light of the score he said, 'On the sideline I'm looking for what runs are good.. I'm trying to establish we can be a running team, I'm looking for balance.' This speaks to his stubbornness and lack of game awareness. You've got to adjust and adapt to the situation.

I wonder if we didn't get the huge run from Portis on the first offensive play, if Zorn would have realized the run wasn't going to be there. I feel like Zorn, much like saden suggested, spent the rest of the game trying to figure out how he could get Portis into the secondary again, instead of figuring out how to get the ball in the end zone as quickly as possible.

Exactly! It was like finding a $20 somewhere on the street and you keep walking down that street, even if it's out of the way, hoping to find another $20.

I could not agree more, Zorn is in over his head.....with shackles.

does zorn realize that you do whatever you need to do to score points? sometimes that means you have imbalance in your play calling. run or pass. he's such an idiot. he needs to be a qb coach and not a head coach/offensive coordinator.

Well in my opinion unless he just quites, he will be fired before the season is over. I feel he has no leadership skills that is needed in this league, to lead this team. Also in my opinion he seems and acts as though he is afraid to just let him men go out onto the field of honor and play football. He says he has confidence in his team but boy sure as hell doesn't show it.
