Reputation of Sherman Lewis- our new play caller

[freddyg12]

For a front office so supposedly concerned about how they appear, they really seem to have lost any sense of public perception on this one.

Do they realize that Al Michaels, Jon Gruden & Jaws, as well as the espn studio, will be talking about this for the good part of 5 hours on national tv next monday night? Could they have picked a time that would get more publicity? I don't think so. It's like a call for help to the football gods!!!

We're going to get lambasted on national tv and then smoked on the field. I'm sure our stadium will be 1/3 green to add to our humiliation.

Most likely becaue fans believe that will be the ultimate F-U to Snyder. However, there will be alot of folks that will say that it's all because Stub-Hub buys tickets from the Redskins while buying from the other 31 teams at the same time. When many of those seats would've belonged to a person cheering for the Redskins but they sold their ticket to show how much they can show Danny how angry they are. Or maybe it was sold to an Eagle fan that was was willing to pay top dollar for the ticket. Or maybe I'm wrong, then again there were so many proud fans at the game Sunday weren't they ? I hope that the boycotters keep it up, only to complain for the rest of the week that the stadium was empty.

I hate to say it but I hope Fed Up Field is covered in green next week.

Id rather playcalling go to the other Sherman. He has no experience either, but atleast he's more familar with the offense. The main thing (other than just plain sucking at pretty much everything he was hired to do) is Zorn was being pulled in too many directions.

[Trample the Elderly]

I know his reputation. He comes in from Bingo, gets paid to make this team into a well polished turd, and then he laughes his old ass back home at the end of the season, if then. Synder is a effing sucker. If I could only get to him. I've got some land in Florida . . . .

What offense bro? Is that would we have been doing for the last 6 games. I thought offenses were suppose to score points. We dont have a offense lets hope Sherman Lewis can game plan better than Zorn.

[skinsfaninok]

Lmao we might set the low scoring record in one season.. What a joke

He's been out of football for 5 years and he's 67 years old. I think that pretty much sums it.
But, if you want some more insight, according to Jason Reid:

But Lewis, 67, was not well regarded as a play-caller. In fact, in 1999, the only year during which Lewis served as a primary play-caller for the Green Bay Packers, the team went 8-8, and Lewis performed poorly in the role, league sources said.

Was the play caller for 7 years in Green Bay, Offense almost always finished in the top 6. Granted he had a smart play caller in Holmgren supporting him (doesn't have that here it seems). Didn't have quite the same success in Minnesota or Detroit.

But look, I don't want to veer this conversation too far off course but this guy was one of the most respected football minds in the league and he could have been a coach somewhere but the cold, hard truth is there was no Rooney Rule in place for him.

As for his age being a factor, tell that to Dan Henning.

LOL. Nice

[firstdown]

I heard he will fight his guts out making tough plays/calls.

Playcalling might be better, but it all boils down to execution. Zorn might not be a good play caller, but still the players should be able to execute them no matter what is called.
