1) Zorn should be able to spend more time w/ the QBs and that's obviously his proven strength.

2) Lewis could "surprise" the defenses he faces w/ his play-calling, something Zorn has failed to do past week 8 of last season.

3) If Lewis has a stronger sense of the offens's strengths and weakness, from his birdseye view, he may be able to adjust the gameplan effectively. I don't believe Zorn has been able to even begin adjusting accordingly. It always seemed like Zorn drew up a gameplan, which may have been perfect if everything goes according to plan, but as things got off track there wasn't effective adjustments made. Result: predictability, lots of grinding plays that play right into the defensive strengths.

I almost want to feel hopeful the offense will rebound a little w/ this change...guess we'll all find out together

I love the skins....I really do, I will be rooting for them as hard as usual this Monday night but having a guy who hasn't been in the league for 5 years and has only been with the team for 2 weeks call the plays (and I am assuming gameplan for the Eagles) in game 7 against a division rival is amature at best, completely clueless at worst.

I can't even put into words how ridiculous this situation is. I thought the KC loss was rock bottom but I am prepared for a completely new level of humiliation this Monday.

PS.... at least 5 delay of game penalties and/or wasted TOs because of the "new guy" calling plays.
