CalSkinsFan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I think zorn is passing on it because training camp will be longer than usual and they have 5 preseason games. Exactly. He is starting camp the 19th, hereas last year it was on the 27th (may be a bit off on the exact dates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmiJo Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Jimmi, I seem to have a notion that a rookie coach can run an extra camp his first year. Is this it? Or does it come later? Or am I lost again? You are correct. Normally, this team will have two camps; rookie camp, and mini camp. For a first year coach, the NFL allows a 3rd camp (Gibbs did a veteran camp in March in 2004). That being said, the Redskins have elected to have only one camp this year, merging the rookies and the veterans this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THUNDERDOME Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I can tell you that he is a take-charge kind of guy. We learned this when he stopped a 7-on-7 play to yell at the assistants coaches to get back from the line of scrimmage, resulting in Coach Bugel sprinting to get away from the play. :laugh: Zorn showed no hesitation in giving players hell, veterans and rookies alike. Jason Campbell heard about it a few times, as did Devon Thomas. That's what I wanna hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 That's what I wanna hear. Yeah, I like to hear that type of report. Something else I liked was this: Jim Zorn spent the early part of the morning practice watching Smith's special teams work. So did Greg Blache. (New assistant coach John Palermo worked with the defensive line.) I'm glad he's not doing what Spurrier did and spending all his time with the QBs and Offense.

JBarrett82 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I love what I'm reading. I can't wait to see these guys in training camp. Sounds like Zorn brings a great, new energy to the team. Very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It's this inside link that makes this site so cool. First day, first practise, first set of audio already up. Thanks guys! Next time you speak to Montgomery ask him if this year will be probowl or will it take till next season - serious question, the man is gonna explode IMO.

JimmiJo Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I read on Redskins.com that Carlos Rogers and Rocky McIntosh are doing light running, although Rogers won't particpate in any drills its atleast good to hear he is doing some running. It sounds like he's coming along fine. Murf and I saw Carlos on our way out to lunch. We asked how he was coming along and he said "fine." We observed him doing agility drills during practice.

jrockster21 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I like what I'm hearing. Zorn sounds like a player's coach, but someone who can still crack the whip (completely unlike Norval). I'm liking this guy more and more every day. Now we just need the players to buy in, and we might have something special. :fingersx: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milliondollarslim Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hey guys (great job), Is Heyer practicing at left tackle or right? I sure would like to see him as a quality backup for Samuels. Up till last year, he had always been a left tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmiJo Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 JimmJo, how are the QBs looking? R-U-S-T-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucfSKINS Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 So freakin excited! Anyone hear Sellers's interview? He sounded pissed off lol. After that Mix reception, Zorn took off down the sidelines. JC said he thought Zorn was going to tackle Mix, but instead, he congratulated Mix on a helluva catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHERRYR Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 R-U-S-T-Y Colt must be goin' nuts on the sidelines... maybe not openly, but inside... I just know he is. Drink it all up baby! cause when your time comes u better show some of that accuracy! Good stuff to hear about Zorn... just love it when a coach cracks the whip and takes full command of the practise field. SLACKERS BEWARE!!! Too bad about that kid out of FL St., didn't know he was diabetic. Just read this morning where Jay Cutler was just diagnosed with Type I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Anyone hear Sellers's interview? He sounded pissed off lol. That would be because Mike didn't get to kill his usual seven toddlers for breakfast. That will piss any man off. Jimmi, seriously, thanks for covering this. I never really paid much attention to this part of football until I joined this site.

DarrellsMyHero28 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 - Play of the day was Anthony Mix catching a long sideline bomb from Jason Campbell with John Eubanks hanging all over him. He bobbled the ball a few times and then brought it in at the corner of the end zone. For the record Eubanks says he was out of bounds. For the record none of us believed him. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
