Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Rams)

Bugel taking over is the best idea I've heard all day. I've always wanted him to be the Redskins coach.

Buges is not the answer so stop fooling yourself. He has his hands full now with Randy Thomas going down.

go redskins!!!!!!!!

People keep saying Thomas dropped that one in the endzone but I thought the defender broke it up? Maybe not I haven't seen it again just asking.

It was thrown low into him between defenders and went off his hands. It's a TD catch you'd expect an NFL receiver to make, though, it was by no means a particularly catchable ball. More of a third-choice desperation read on third down.

I was calling our offensive plays in the red zone, and I can predict them, then I know the 11 players, and Spagn can predict them as well.

Zorn's red zone playcalling is awful, as others have suggested. However, I'm not sure a change of the head coach is all of that helpful in terms of continuity. Not many teams who change head coaches mid-year end up in the playoffs.

So either:
1) Zorn needs to do some real soul searching about his play calling, or
2) play calling could be turned over to Sherman Smith

In another issue, someone needs to tell Santana Moss that the season began last week. He still hasn't really shown up for work yet.

I said that earlier in the thread and nobody said anything about it. Moss might as well be the invisible man out on the field.

Yeah tough play, not the type I can place a lot of blame on DT, the ball came in pretty hot too

Alright I just watched ZOrn's press conference and it's a good evaluation. He knows that we have a major problem in the red zone. As long as they really focus on it and know it's a joke right now I hope we can turn it around.

[JWsleep]

If Zorn gets Ws, no matter how ugly, he's the coach.

However, I do think he might be asked to consider giving up palycalling duties. Has Stump Mitchell ever called games? I don't think Buges is the right call there.

And I agree that we didn't look bad between the 20s, but if we continue to struggle like this... oy.

[doughtydoubter]

I really like zorn, i want him to succeed, but i truly have to believe if danny smith has to tell him when to call a time out, and channeling gibbs 2.0 on predictability..he probably need to shake it up and do some soul searching.
Campbell played well.
Good to see kelly being a factor also.

Jim Zorn definitely didn't call a good game down in the red zone. It's so stupid that the takes the game out of JC's hands in the red zone. Halfback pass on 3rd down, from the 7? Probably the worst call I've ever seen.

That call did it for me. I can't take this clown anymore. He had 3 TE's on the field and lined up in a run formation on 3rd and goal from the 10. I don't have a problem with the call, it's calling it on 3rd down when everyone knows you're not going to run.

[Big C]

what is really positive with zorn? what has he done since being here? the defense has carried us ever since he has been here, and before as well. we arent scoring any more points than we did before, honestly the only reason id even think about keeping him here would be so that campbell wouldnt have to learn a new offense.
