Zhouse Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Didn't see this posted anywhere. http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d801f9767 I don't know much about his playing career, but after seeing this video I am more excited to have him as our HC. He's not a conservative guy and that should help our playmakers become a bigger threat on the field. Players like Jason, Cooley, Moss, CP, Sellers should benefit from his go-getter attitude. Gibbs did a great job building character and a great lockeroom. With the players' trust and respect, Zorn will be a great coach IMO. Only time will tell when it comes to how successful he will be with us but I think the front office made the right choice by going with this guy. :point2sky:dallasuck:eaglesuck:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobags95 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I expect him to be an exciting coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm excited about Zorn. I think he and his assistants will bring an exciting brand of offensive football to the Skins. But Steve Young wore number 8 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tryin to quite that bad habit. Jim wore number 10. But he's ranked #8 in the top ten most mobile QB's of all time.

Robbnva Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I like that video and maybe that is why he is excited about campbell because he can move pretty good also. funny thing, I have heard of Largent but I never heard of zorn until the redskins hired him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsSyco4Life Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 What I like about Zorn is at least he should know what the hell going on out there. With him calling the plays he has to...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueTalon Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I loved watching Zorn back in the day. Jack Patera was the coach, Zorn at QB, Efran Herrera was our kicker, and we would do almost anything on the field. I've seen them send the QB in motion, I've seen them punt on 3rd down, I've seen them run every kind of play imaginable from FG formation. They once penalized themselves back to 2nd down & 52, and they got the first down. Those were fun, crazy days. In all honesty, though, Zorn's mobility usually had less to do with the scheme or aggressiveness than with Zorn just running for his life. (In the early days, our line couldn't stop a broken watch. Well, sometimes -- it was really hit & miss, literally.) That said, I fully expect his coaching regime in Washington (the other Washington) to be both successful and unconventional. You guys are in for a heckuva ride, I think. I don't know how Zorn ended his playing career (re: injury), but in Seattle he ended up getting cut after Dave Krieg beat him out for the starting job in mid 1983 and Zorn became a high priced FG holder/passer. The Seahawks kept him through the 1984 season before releasing him. That was a sad moment for many of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expensivegift Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I like the fact that he's going to put in the West Coast offense. Now Portis and Cooley will be a much bigger part of the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm both excited and cautious because of his lack of experience as a HC. But the WCO excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its because I can remember very vividly when Tampa and Seattle came into the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worstSeat Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Man, he looks like Mark Brunell. Anyhow, here are the 10-2 mobile qbs. Notice Vick isn't #1. ??

Yeah, are they kidding? That has to be a joke. He could slilde a bit in the pocket, but he was slower than most offensive lineman in the NFL. He was such a statue that without his amazingly quick release, he wouldn't have lasted one season in the NFL. I have to agree with Fran Tarkenton as number 1. He put the "scram" in scramble.

Are you F'N kidding me?? Dan "the statue" Marino? Mark Rypien was more mobile than Marino! They must be counting sacks or pressures or something that would take into account his quick release. They must have meant John Elway, the other HOF quarterback from that amazing 1983 draft. Elway certainly was mobile enough to justify being on that list. And "Dan Marino" sounds a lot like "John Elway." (If you're drunk, with cotton in your ears.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
