Build your post count some before you take on something this volumous.

It was a good read even though jammed all together. Paragraphs are your friend, 3-5 sentences.

I agreed with everything he said except the end when he mentions we are only a few pieces away from being great. Unfortunatly we have been that way since 1994.

That Sums it up for most of us on here. Who in their right mind would even watch such horrible football that the Redskins have played this season unless you are a fanatic like us. Good Post wish the players and coaches could read this letter.

Zorn's second year, more plays able to call due to the increase knowledge, better continuity all around, more cohesiveness, Campbell's ability to make big plays would increase, the emergence of our young wideouts would finally produce T.D.'s, the passing game would've open the run game, all these illusions we fans had...My questions now, is Zorn too soft and has no leadership ability? His play calling has been gutsy, but has it been wise? Does Campbell have the heart and winners attitude to lead us during crunch time? Is Portis running with the renegade attitude that made him an elite back or is he just trying to stay injury free and avoiding contact with his lack of vision because he always dives to the ground when there is traffic. Do we have play makers who can break the big play, or do we have average players... over rated and poorly coached? So many questions, from a desperate fan, that is getting his heart gutted out and shattered to pieces every Sunday...I don't know who much more I can take of this, but I know one thing, I will not quit on them, I will continue to root, cry, cheer, and love my Skins....I just hope my son and I can experience a Super Bowl together, the last time we won was almost 18 Years ago and he was only 20 day's old when we beat the Bills, I feel bad for him, he thinks I am nut's when I tell him we were the classiest organization eons ago, we were the talk of the NFL, we were respected and teams hated to play us, because of our physical style of play on both sides of the ball....O those Glory days, how I miss them, Don't we all? I am praying and hoping we can get this ship turned around....let's not give up, it's just three games into the season, maybe this Lost will be the wake up call they needed to make some changes or ship out those pieces that are rotting out the Ship and have them sinking, there is still a glimmer of hope in the horizon, I can barely see it, but it's there. I don't think we are as bad as we look, I think we are just a few peaces away from turning this baby around, the problem is, which are those peaces?

Welcome!


to super happy funville Redskinsland :frusty:

Ruh I have been thinking that since after the first half of the Giants game. Just really didn't want to express it yet thinking CP would get on a roll, but this teamTEAM AS A WHOLE is having a huge problem running the football.

I was thinking the same thing. I can't figure out what wrong with the running game if it is Portis, the oline, or a combination of both.

From what I saw at the game it was a combo of the two. Portis didn't have too many gaps to run into today, but he also seemed to change direction sometimes actually running into defenders. I would have to rest most of the blame with the line though.

Well when you run every first and second down and then run behind only Samuels it isn't that hard to game plan against us.

A combination of both, but to that end Portis use to find six yard here and there with his fied vision and instict. This year he runs into the pile and takes bad running lanes.

It is aso a problem with his and Synder's relationship, and also to the idea of getting rid of him he is tied up in a very HIGH contact that would basically eliminate any kind of trade or release.

Canning Zorn would automatically trash the season, besides at this point everyone needs to go, Blache, special teams coach, even Bugel. I know folks hold Bugel in high esteem because of the hogs, but come on, what has this guy done during his second tenure? It is easy being considered a great coach pre cap, pre FA when you have the best line in probably NFL history playing for you year in and year for a decade.

This is the conclusion I have already come to. It kills me to think this way cause I do hold Buges in high esteem but I think the time has passed now. I'm unsure about Blache. Is he a coach living off of another coach's players or does he actually have a scheme worth a crap?

He has an old out dated shceme on defense, and he has all of Gregg Williams players. Not one CB blitz this year, of course considering our LBs can't cover I wouldn't expect them coming any time soon.
