Re: Redskins hire offensive consultant

Ok now I'm maybe being a conspiracy theorist, but why specify a "history with Holmgren"

“It’s not a threat at all,” Cerrato said. “Jim welcomed the idea if it was the right guy. So we came up with a list of people that had a background in the West Coast offense and a history with Holmgren. Nobody’s job on offense changes. Jim still calls the plays.”

Cerrato: Lewis 'Another Set of Eyes' For Zorn

Interesting note about the experience coaching receivers. He can replace Smith and Hixon at once!

By the way, Vinny's eyes in the picture that shows up on this link make him look like Damien. Is some baby sitter about to jump off a building somewhere?

because the west coast has branched off so much they prob want someone closer to the holmgren fam

don't think vinny would let himself slip that much.. he said he came up with the people along with zorn, so I'm sure it was zorn's preference that the person be in the same tree

Re: Redskins hire offensive consultant

Not a good sign if your boss tells you he is bringing in a consultant to see why you suck.

Let's be honest, if JZ can do any self evaluation, and team evaluation, he already knows the offense sucks.

I don't think there is a better way to describe it!

Re: Redskins hire offensive consultant

Biggest issue everyone noted to an in-season firing of Zorn, he's the HC, playcaller and QB coach. Well, now you can promote Blache to HC, make Lewis the play caller and Meidt the QB coach. Zorn gets fired after the Philly game. I'm just saying.

Lewis was OC for Holmgren, but also coached with Shanny in SF. Hope he's got a solid calling plan because his minutes are going to be increasing.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I meant, IF Snyder makes an in-season move on Zorn, the pieces are in place to do so. He could promote Blache to interim HC, Lewis to OC/playcaller and make Meidt the QB coach.

One of the things I hope comes out of this is for Lewis to recognize and tell JC to:
#1-have some fun. He's such a robo-QB that's thinking too much and trying to make everyone happy. Just play dude, you've got the talent and ability just let it flow.
#2-Forget what Gibbs told you about being so safe. It's obvious he's hearing too many voices and the first one he heard in the NFL was of a scared old coach. Not to run down Gibbs but you can tell JC is still playing to his conservative coaching. Moss said as much the other day, 'Checkdowns won't win us games. He's got to take some chances.' Gibbs was the quintessential 'don't take chances' coach and Brunell reinforced that to the max.
#3-Yards are yards. If you have to run to pick up the first down, make the decision to get the hell outta there and get the hell outta there!
