Should Snyder listen to his players?

Blowing out KC would do far more for Jim Zorn's future as the Redskins HC than any words of support could ever do.

This is a team that hasn't played hard for their HC since the opening game of the season. If they truly care about him then why won't they play hard for him?

There are some real good talkers on this team. Players talk about the owner, the FO, the other players. Then, when they're on the field and it's time to reach down and summon the extra effort needed to win, they don't do it.

I say to the Redskins players, if you really want to keep Jim Zorn as your coach, then come out with a purpose on Sunday and blow out the KC Chiefs.

110% agree. Lets see. Zorn gets hired and some fans are happy cause it's not the splashy move Snyder usually makes(even though no one would take the job). Zorn's first 8 games look like we found a diamond in the rough. Everyone is happy, talking about how Zorn is the second coming of Gibbs. Then the last 8 game look horrible. Some are ready to fire him, most understand it was injuries that held us back. So in essance....the players for the most part are the same players who were here for the first 8 games which means they could be a winning team. However for whatever reason they are not.

Play call sucks, players not exicuting, and now some vital injuries, but the fans can't control these issues, the media can't control these issues, and DS can't control these issue right now. Basically, the players are asking DS to endorse Zorn with bad coaching, bad play calling, and bad player performance? I just don't see that happening or the reasoning behind it.

If the players want Zorn to remain then they can stop screwing up on the field and exicute his plays correctly, which will help Zorn call better plays he knows they will exicute perfectly, which should result in more scores and games won, but don't ask management to endorse something you players are not endorsing on the field.

As for me....just winning the KC game is not enough at this point. I want to see them come out and win games againt the Eagles, Saints, Dallas. Oh they can squeek by all they want so long as it's done with over 21 points or more. That would atleast show they know how and can actually score. Right now they can't get into the end zone to save their life.
