Has Zorn Said Anything About How Much of His Offense Is Installed?

[Hubbs]

I know there are a lot of threads about Zorn, but this is about a specific nugget I heard at the beginning of the season, so I thought it warranted its own thread. Mods, obviously, if you disagree, strike me down with lightning (or something).

I remember in Week 1, I was watching the Broncos-Raiders game and some commentator mentioned that Mike Shanahan said this was the first year he had been able to install his whole offense since Elway. I've wondered about Zorn's offense over the past few weeks as we've become bogged down. Not only did Jay Cutler take two years, but he came into a team that had been guided by Shanahan for a decade. Most of the linemen and receivers had been there for years and had everything down cold.

This is the first year of Zorn's offense for everyone, including Zorn himself. I haven't been in the DC area this year, so I haven't heard much from sports radio, Comcast, and the like. Has anyone heard anything about the difference between how much offense is in Zorn's head and how much he's actually been able to train the offense to execute? I would imagine that this is a significant part of our offensive difficulties, as defensive coordinators adjust faster than an offense can learn new plays. We're gonna need another training camp to get a lot of things down that are fundamental for the offenses that have been together for several years. But it'd be nice to at least find out if there's been any indication as to how much Zorn was really able to put out on the field for this season.
