Zorn to stop calling plays

[mooby]

I doubt they give play calling duties to Sherman Lewis after he's been with the team for a week. I think they'll either give them to Smith or someone else on the offensive side of the ball and Lewis would help them out but wouldn't be the direct play caller. If they do give it to Lewis though I won't be getting my hopes up, mainly cuz he's been out of football for five years and still doesn't know probably half the terminology.

IMO, I hope Bugel takes over playcalling. He knows more about how to hide the deficiencies of the OL.
He began as the Redskins offensive coordinator in 1981 and was promoted to assistant head coach in 1983. Under Bugel’s direction the Redskins scored a then-NFL record 541 points (1983), had four 1,000-yard rushers, one 4,000-yard passer and nine 1,000-yard receivers. Washington won two Super Bowls while Bugel was with the team, following the 1982 and 1987 seasons. Overall, he has participated in three Super Bowls, six conference championships and 24 playoff contests.

Don Breaux was the OC if I remember correctly.

Nothing against Bugel but this was over 20 years ago. Granted the line getting injured every year is not on him, and the lack of depth is not on him, but we do not have a great line. After this year it may be time to move on.

If I was Jim Zorn, I'd tell Vinny and Dan to suck my balls. He's as good as done anyway. If he doesn't see that he's a fool.

I love that they have to continue to pay Zorn. Snyder is such an ass clown when it comes to any football related decision.

He is the biggest embarassment in the league. I love it!!

Great job midget!!! ha ah ah

All true, but none with a West Coast offense, which is what we're stuck with for the season. So while he's been doing it here since Zorn arrived, I am not convinced he's the best choice for us. I am not sure we have a good choice at this point.

It is an insult to call Zorn's offense a West Coast offense. How about Mickey Mouse offense? Or maybe Least Coast Offense?

Hard to disagree with the characterization, but my point simply is that we cannot at this point try to convert from an alleged WCO offense to something else -- an offense and playbook takes a lot of time to install -- and Buges isn't a WCO guy. Hard to imagine him calling plays in this system, although given the poor decision-making that has plagued this organization for a decade, nothing would surprise me.

With what I saw today, it is entirely possible that we do not win a game for the rest of this season. This strikes me as the worst Redskins team in my lifetime -- more than 40 years now. It's painful to watch. Today's debacle was on par with the famous body bag game v. Philly.

A step in the right direction. JZ does have to much to do and any good he might be doing is being snuffed out by STUPID overload of duties. I would like the guy to succeed, but so far.....it ain't happenin'. If we can re-align the organization a little (and maybe lose Vinnie along the way), shore up the weak area's it would be far less catastropic to deal with than blowing it up.

You don't have much of a choice at this point. You don't have an offensive line, or a real championship caliber QB for that matter. No depth at all, plus your Wr draftees are busts, with the exception of Mitchell, but who knows he might suck also. Your D is good, but my no depth at all there. IF a LB or CB goes down for an extended period of tim you are screwed.

I am so glad I did not purchase Sunday Ticket this year. I would have been even more pissed off knowing I spent money to watch this team implode.
Get Cerrato out of DC!!!!!

Ya know whats funny. I figured that FOX had major issue's getting the game to us every weekend and was pleasantly supprised to see another network taking over this weekend......only to find ...they had technical difficulties.

What the hell is going on with getting any Redskins games to the area? Does it paralell the teams performance? If the team gets better the networks have less problems? but I have to agree, I would be pissed right now if I had purchased it also.
