I really hope last season was the last time we saw him get rolled over by DTs, botching snaps, and stepping on the QBs foot. I know Rabach is a nice dude, but we need to move on from him.

Game tapes show far too many QB hurries as well as sacks originated from the O gap. Yet, watching a recent interview Larry Michael conducted with Chris Foerster the O-line coach, he had nothing but praise for Rabach. Perhaps he see's something we don't.

Longtimefan:

If the O-line coach had said even a word that might have been critical of Rabach or any Redskin, Larry Michael would never have put it on the air.

Michael is OK at doing play-by-play on the radio for the Skins. In terms of "analysis" or "probing interviews", he is nothing more than a cheerleading flack.

Rabach is not the reason the O-line was bad last year - - at the same time, the Skins ought to be able to upgrade at the center position without carrying out a world-wide search.

I think we're all missing something. A couple of years ago Madden said that Rabach was having a Pro Bowl season the first half. Zorn seemed to love the guy; one of Shanahan/Allen's first moves was to pay the guy 12 mil over 3 years before probably even working with him.

Who knows?

Zorn was also the last Redskins coach to field a competent offense, with or without Rabach.

Sorry to break the bad news, but I think the Browns saw his potential and hired him. The Skins could offer a couple of draft picks for him though.

What a shame. Between 2008 and 2010 Zorn was our greatest head coach.
