I can't believe how well Miami runs the wildcat. I know a lot of people hate the wildcat but based on what I've seen tonight it's here to stay.

Talk about coming back from the dead...

The Redskins should take a play from the Jets and Dolphins, as each team has used a first rounder in a tackle (Ferguson for the Jets and Long for Miami).

Tell me about it. And he still has tremendous speed. Maybe more Running Backs should start smoking weed to retain their youthful exuberance

Re: It's a joy watching other teams play

Three things struck me from tonight's game:

*How both organizations have developed their young QBs. And not only with these two teams, but around the league. Both Sanchez and Henne look like they're the future of their respective franchises. Chad Henne threaded a couple of sick throws. Just sick.

*The coaching and execution on both sides were very evident. Not a bunch of penalties or mental errors and great all around play calling. I can't really say either guy was outcoached, but the Dolphins just outplayed the Jets when it counted.

*The Jets have fifteen first round draft picks on their roster. What, fifteen first round picks! The impact of a credible GM can't be overstated. Along those same lines, and no pun intended, it's worth noting that Brick Ferguson and Jake Long are both first round draft picks and were killing it tonight. Just saying.

And both the fans and owners willing to go through a couple of bad seasons for the sake of rebuilding.

Would you believe the Redskins have 10 former first round picks on their roster?

Actually, yes. Which makes it even worse. We have like three in the secondary, I believe. Then there's Campbell and Samuels.

Who else, Portis and Orakapo?

Portis was a second rounder.

Correct. But actually I totally forgot about Mike Williams, so we have 11 former first rounders.

1997 Jaguars select with the 21st overall pick...Renaldo Wynn

Would have had 12 if we didn't cut Robert Thomas

Re: It's a joy watching other teams play

That was a great game to watch. Makes you realize even more how bad we look. Funny what you said about tearing down the offensive coaching staff Tripp, I was talking about the same thing today. I really think Zorn could be a good HC given some time, but I really don't see much in his assistants. Looks mostly like college guys who haven't done much in the NFL, or NFL coaches who have been promoted to positions they've never held. Our execution looks like shit and how much are these guys responsible for it? Of course the o-line, we know whose fault that is.

Now, after you said that, I could see it as well.. I have always believed that Zorn has the potentials to be good head coach; but right now, I'm not so sure anymore..
