It's abundantly clear to me that Jim Zorn is married to his system and not interested in tailoring it to the strengths of this Redskins team. Giants players were leaving the game left and right yesterday, yet we couldn't seem to exploit any of those match-ups. Sure it's only one game, but yesterday's game was nothing more than a carry over of what we witnessed the second half of last season.

Until we light up the Rams, my arms are folded and my foot is tapping.
Well said;, you and I are pretty much on the same page.

It's bothersome to me that we now have full season under Zorn's system, a full offseason, minicamps, OTAs, and training camp, without much player turnover, and things still aren't clicking. Don't tell me how 'awesome' the Giants are -- we had the pass protection, and Campbell made all the completions you could think of underneath. But the outside receivers still can't get open, and they couldn't get open against NYG backup corners.

To me that's bad scheming, a lack of cohesion, bad communication, misalignments -- all things that shouldn't be happening if this offense is taking us to the next step.
