What do you want an old guy to do? Go wrestle alligators, build an NFL Mt. Rushmore, or what?

Wasn't this probably the idea when Vinny brought Lewis in to begin with? He's had what..1-2 weeks to get caught up with what's going on here? Maybe it will help.

So let's get this straight, bringing in Lewis, now making him the play-caller, this is all on Vinny... right?

Let's hope that Snyder sees it that way. I certainly do.

According to Mort on Twitter: mortreport But Sherm Lewis was a long-time NFL asst. Steve Mariucci recommended him to Redskins as a "consultant" they worked together in Detroit.

This smells of a bad "B" movie, THE REPLACEMENTS.

Kind of surprising but JZ appears to still have the locker room as I have seen numerous players step up for him lately.....Good to see

Maybe they're so apathetic that they just prefer to have an easier going coach, who knows.

sometimes it seems that we're late getting calls in, this adds an extra step into it, with the relay

I would ask if the late calls were because Zorn was thinking up the best play for the exact situation, ie the timeout when he was waiting for the ball to spotted. If that is the case, perhaps a person with a little more anticipation could make a huge difference, even with the relay through Zorn. I think other teams do it this way, but I am really not sure.

Yeah there are other teams.. and that's a good point, somebody may have a quicker read (heh) on what to do than Zorn

I wonder if there is any way to mike in the broadcasters. Maybe Gruden could call our plays this week!!! (i bet they still get it in faster than Zorn)
