He went behind Smith's back to go to Zorn. I wouldn't even say it was behind his back per se. Smith tried a couple of times to bench him, thought he had. ARE decided to take it up with the head coach and plead his case and Smith was overruled.

Not Redskins related but apparently Perry Fewell will be the new Giants DC

Heard the name Jedd Fisch-current OC at the U. of Minnesota mentioned a couple of times as a possibility for the Redskins. Not sure in what capacity.

Looking at Fisch's history he worked with Baltimore as a WR's coach in 04-07. Then worked in Denver in 08 as the WR coach. Maybe he worked with Shanahan?

Here is a brief outline of Fisch's career.

• 2008 - Denver Broncos wide receivers coach
• 2004-2007 - Baltimore Ravens quarter back and wide receiver coach
• 2001-2003 - Houston Texans as defensive quality control

maybe if Mann doesn't pan out.. or something else? QB coach?

also a rumor of him going to Seattle to be QB coach under Bates who was at Denver

and since I don't know much about him and am guessing that not many others do either:
