Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Rams)

[skinsguy]

Why is it that each and every year, the Redskins tend to be the most talented, under achieving team in the league? Come on, we have one of the league's top running backs, decently talented wide receivers, a solid offensive line (well before Thomas went down,) and a smart quarterback who can lead the team up and down the field. Oh, and let's not forget one of the top defenses in the league. I just don't get it!

I do think Zorn is trying to be positive for the team. He realizes things are wrong in the red zone and they need to be corrected. He is right in looking at the positives and realizing that the offense can move the ball up and down the field without any problems. But, I'm just wondering if Zorn is losing any respect amongst his players? For the first time yesterday, I saw Campbell visually upset and frustrated on the field. Usually, Campbell is quite stoic and won't show much emotion.

I don't know what the answer is, but I just feel something has to change. Not so much with the players, as I feel we have the talent. I don't really like the thoughts of a coaching change after such a short time, but with the decision making, red zone play calling, and game management of Jim Zorn, I just don't see how we can improve. And now, with Thomas possibly out for the season, that is just going to make matters a lot harder.

The upside is, the Redskins play the Lions next week.
