Look at Seattle now, I wonder who the offensive brain for that franchise was? I wonder if they miss him

Well Holmgrem is the OC and he calls the plays for Seattle. They've just run into some real hard luck with injuries and a below average offensive line.

They got Bill Lazor, we got Jim Zorn...seems like a pretty fair trade

Amen Brother!!! Gibbs would have punted and put the game in the hands of Gregg Williams's D. From the big 4th down pass to put away the New Orleans victory to this, Zorn is utterly unafraid to put the game in the hands of his offensive players when they have a chance to seal the deal.

To play devil's advocate, how much of this do you think is due to lack of faith in Brooks right now?

I don't think that has much to do with it. If Brooks was that bad, wouldn't we have tried to cut our losses with him and at the very least brought other punters in for a workout? These very short 4th downs we're going for are really in keeping with the style of playcalling Zorn has shown overall.

As a Seahawks fan I ask you to please give Jim Zorn back!!! But for real I am glad my second favorite team is doing well

And we hope that Billy McMullen is a mainstay in Seattle, we miss him.

I can believe that. After all, Holmgren has won the SB, but I don't know if Zorn was on that staff.

I really don't think that had anything to do with it. Zorn has shown he trusts his players and will go for the throat, I think that was the case yesterday.

I agree. It had nothing to do with the punter. Plus how great of a call was that? Zorn had the field spread out and ran the ball out of shotgun. We never ever ever did that in the past. If that was last year we would've punted. But let's say we did go for it we would've been in jumbo package and the defense would know we were running to the left. Two times yesterday we ran the ball out of shotgun when the defense wasn't expecting it.
