DGREENHULK Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 With the money the Redskins front office has invested this offseason with the signings of Haynesworth,Hall and Dockery not to metion more additions still to come with FA and the Draft...What are the expections of Zorn this year?

terrifNick21 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 To get the offense to score more than 15 points a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoleSkin21 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 No excuses now, that's for sure. If its another 8-8 or 7-9 season, Zorn and JC are to blame and will be held accountable. No doubt in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexrode21 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think the FA acquisitions so far don't put any extra stress on Zorn because our D is still going to be top 5. I don't believe Dockery is a HUGE upgrade except for the fact that he's younger and can be around longer. If we pick up a stud OT in the draft and a LB to replace Marcus THEN I'll say he's in trouble. But I think we were all in agreement that even before FA occurred that if Zorn didn't hit the playoffs then he and JC were gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Isn't there already another thread on this? That being said, anything less than the playoffs, whatever the seed/record is grounds for dismissal. Though if things are on the up and up, and the team shows signs of improvement (most importantly JC), maybe 9-7 or a 10-6 non-playoff team would be acceptable. But anything 8-8 or less, sure thing he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_R Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 No excuses now, that's for sure. If its another 8-8 or 7-9 season, Zorn and JC are to blame and will be held accountable. No doubt in my mind. Don't be foolish. Excuses will be made. My expectations would have to be an offense that can actually make an opposing team pay for a turnover.

Stophovr6 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I'd like for us to start like we started 2008 and keep it going for more than half a season. At the very least I hope we do one game better at 9-7. Either way, I'm not convinced we're built for a SB run yet. I might change my mind after the draft and pre-season.

Thinking Skins Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 There are definately gonna be excuses. How quickly will Haynesworth pick up the system? Will Taylor be effective as a LDE or LB? Will our offense be able to score points? How good will the other teams be? Who will get hurt? Who will we draft? etc etc, Its way too early for this stuff.

Thinking Skins Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Its nice how this is not an unbiased poll. There's no option for 3-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Anything less then 8-8 and he will be removed. Anything less then Jason Campbell looking very good and he could also be gone. The records not the only thing that I believe Zorn's on the hook for this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifNick21 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 for the defense to score 14 a game? That'd be nice. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'SKINSRICH Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 10+ wins and at least...... AT LEAST 1 playoff win. Otherwise, he'll be coaching QB's at Chesapeake Community College. (Note: I'm not sure if there is a Chesapeake Community College, if there is..... well, no offense intended. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 With our strength of schedule, or lack there of, it isn't out of the realm to expect the Skins to be able to win the division. Injury can change everything of course. But all things being equal the Skins are just as talented as the rest of the division. I stated several times last offseason that our biggest achilles heel will be that our offense would be crippled learning a new system yet again. This year we don't have that handicap to go along with our FA upgrades. Our two WRs drafted in '08 stepping up this year also is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Shouldn't we be able to wait for the rest of FA and the draft to have to answer this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Shouldn't we be able to wait for the rest of FA and the draft to have to answer this? You didn't get the memo? We're always 1 player away from a Lombardi. This year Haynesworth is that player. If we don't make it it will all be on Zorn and he will be hung from the highest rafter of Fedex.

zCommander Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 To win the SuperBowl!!! Isn't that the goal every year regardless of who we sign and how much money is spent. Your poll should have included winning the SB as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePreciating Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Giants with no Plaxico, Dallas just getting older, Philly losing Dawk and Lito, Redskins just getting better. We can win this division if we stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthor99 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think the team has to make it into the playoffs. Period Any team owned by Daniel Snyder (unless your Joe Gibbs) better make it into meaningful January games in order to keep their job. I've always said that in any NFL job (or college job for that matter) the leeway IMO should allow the coaches 3 years to essentially build "there" team. Here in the nations capital expectations are a little different, and I believe that any coach who takes over the Redskins needs to prove they can make a "contender" of a team in 2 seasons at the helm. Is this too much to ask for? I believe the debate is worthy to either side. Some may argue, that dramatic roster changes could ultimatley give the coach an unfair advantage. Or one could argue that essentially is it really the COACHES players being brought in or Dan Snyder's PLAYERS? Both I'm sure can be argued to great lengths.

LizKauai Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Last year was Coach Zorn's rookie year. This year will be his sophomore year. I feel there will be marked improvements all around. HAIL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
