FYI. Those who would like an overall quick look at a West Coast Offense can click here. I definitely think someone like Clinton Portis will do fine in the WCO.

I am going to move this to the third page in case someone wanted to download the PDF on the West Coast offense.

Doesn't Mike Shanahan run the WCO? If he does, then Portis should do really well.

You know who else had his best year in a West Coast offense...Brandon Lloyd

If there was a way to restructure a contract so a player could pay the team to play, then I'm all for inviting him to training camp.

In high school?

Seriously Smooty, hook me up with some of those sources.

Yeah, I got it...

I'm sure at some point in time there will be a presser to formally introduce Jim Zorn, and hopefully at that time he will enlighten us to some extent, as to just what type offense he intends to implement. We all seem to be under the asumption it going to be the WCO as we know it.

I want to believe that he's going to implement a system that best fits the talents of Jason Campbell. I also want to think that this is something that was discussed during the interview sessions. I remember watching Zorn play, and he could be a mad bomber at times, so it could be that the offense he chooses to introduce may not be limited to the conventional version of the WCO.

Anyways I think it will be the receivers who struggle the most

You nee 10 posts before you can post a link.

Edit like some have pointed out already Jason Campbell has already been in a west coast type offense before so he should do really well.

But I don't think that's the biggest issue really. I think where we need to be concerned is at the WR position. Our top two guys-Moss and El-seem ill prepared to be elite receivers in the WCO. Granted, they're tough and quick and have shown they can go over the middle? But on a regular basis?

I love Moss and would hate to see him go, but will he be wasted here in DC now? Will Anthony Mix suddenly become indespensible? Does Malcolm Kelly become a draft priority? Will Robin escape the clutches of The Penguin? Can Batman Save Gotham? Tune in tomorrow....

Seriously though, vote

It's def the WR's. I just don't think Moss and Randle El are top NFL wr's and we need to upgrade at that position. Look how Plaxico B. just dominated the Green Bay corners last week. We just don't have anyone that can take over a game like that. I remember the WCO at it's best when Montana ran it and he had Rice and Taylor at WR. Lots of quick reads, quick slants, misdirection bootlegs and waggles. They ran the pure version of it and it was fun to watch. But if McNabb can run it then so can JC. But it's going to take time and we are going to have growing pains.
