Zorn's hoping Kelly will be good for the playoffs...wait, the playoffs?

[shakinaiken]

haha... in today's interview, questions were asked about Kelly's status and if he's going to put him on IR. Zorn responded that they're going to rest him so he can be a contributing member of the team come playoff time. ummm.. Zorn, were just coming up to the half way point and your talking playoffs. Im mostly joking around, but does anybody think this a bad thing that Zorn's already thinking playoffs?

[n3rd]

Considering we've had the hardest part of our schedule already and the fact that he's a very confident guy.... I love it!

A little early for him to say "super bowl" but playoffs is fine...

[hitmandm]

If we beat the Lions next week...we have to be considered a high potential--barring injury.

[Smiley's "rootin"]

I noticed him saying it to, I think it is a good thing, we should make the playoffs.

We have a good chance of taking our division, looking at the the remaining games the Giants have and the cowturds are a joke, there is no reason not to think we could get some home games durring the playoffs.

Go Skins!!!!!

[FunBunch7]

paloffs? (Jim Mora's voice)

If we beat the Lions?

If we don't beat the Lions it would be the 2nd time we lost to the current worst team in the league.

Beating the Lions does nothing. After we beat the Giants at home (after the bye I think) then I will be confident about the playoffs. We need to beat NY so we can at the very least split the division with them, if not win more divisional games then them. I dont trust going in as a wildcard. We need a break the first week of the playoffs, and we need not get ahead of ourselves.

This season, at that.

I think it's a good thing he's expecting the Skins to make the playoffs. Why not set the bar high? It shows confidence in the team. HTTR!

[Ray Brown]

He meant he'll be ready for the paloffs. those start soon.

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

As a part of any team you should always believe you are going to win.

As long as he doesn't say, "we're going to the playoffs," I have no problems with it. He should be thinking ahead.

That being said, to get there you can't overlook any team and you have to take it one game at a time.

[mawapa]

He said "ready for the playoffs" -slight pause- then something like IF we make, deserve, earn it.

[PCS]

Okay. And? I like it. Funning around or not, I think it's pretty cool to hear.

[texasthunder]

Most everything I have heard and read in regards to a coaches philosophy is that their goal is to make it to the playoffs, wether it be wild card or divisional champ.

They all know that anything can happen in the playoffs and it comes down to who is playing their best in December.

[HigSkin]

Hope this doesn't jinx us but like his optimism. :applause:

[mawapa]

I think I heard him say that Springs could be 100% for the Superbowl. ols

[kleese]

He also said that Phillip Daniels should be fine to be the Grand Marshall of the Super Bowl victory parade.

[New]

You are what you say you are! I like it! Bout damn time somebody started showing a little swagger around here. Now lets go out and kick the lions ass like were supposed to!

HTTR!

[Jimbo]

If we beat the Lions?

If we don't beat the Lions it would be the 2nd time we lost to the current worst team in the league.

Let's not forget the Bungles in that equation.

[JimmyConway]

Oh no, we're doomed!

It really doesn't matter unless the mediotes get a hold of it, if that happens the jinx is on.

[AzSkinsFan63]

It's not like he said SuperBowl..Geez!

[deejaydana]

POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING!

I think Zorn, for all his years in the league, probably has things in perspective. I don't take this as ****iness but more as just confidence. Don't you want that from the man with the clipboard? HTTR!

[robotfire]

Every coach should be planning for the playoffs. If you don't think you can get there, then it doesn't matter what you do with a player like Kelly. The entire goal is to be as well off for the playoffs as possible.

[MonkFan8]

He said "if we earn that right" when referring to the playoffs later on in the same conference.

[mhearn]

just goes to show how zorn has confidence in this team and its players..its pretty amazing
