SKSFN813366 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have no confidence in Jim Zorn as the head coach. None. He's stopped by his special teams coach when calling timeout too soon. He has his running back attempt a TD pass to his tight end instead of his QB and one of his two tall receivers. He calls for a running play that loses yards on 4th and 1 on the 2 yard line, instead of a QB sneak or a field goal. No excuse. Maybe the team has to wait until their 'bye' week, but I really think Jim Zorn needs to be released from his head coaching duties with the Redskins. I don't like writing those words, but it's the sad truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokieSkinsFan Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Zorn's playcalling was very defeatist today. Coach to win man. That was pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Red Zone playcalling was just terrible. Unless we allow Campbell to throw the ball, every defense will just play to stuff Clinton Portis. What we need here is for Zorn to trust his QB.

skinspride73 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We should be scared, very scared. This game is Zorn's fault. Too conservative by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81artmonk Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would agree that Zorn is a problem. It seemed thoughout the game that he was clueless to what he wanted to do or was doing. 3rd and 16 and you run the ball. No fade routes. call a timeout, don't call a timeout. 4th and 1/2 yrd and you run a sweep play?? Our Offense seems solid when they produced. the d-line is solid. Our weakness is playcalling and our secondary. Can Rogers or Hall stay on their feet and cover someone please!!!!! How many times this season so far including pre-season and even going back to last season have we seen rogers and halls men wide open catching a 1st down pass?? Too many to count by my calculations. Sure they show up most of the time at the end when the game is on the line, but if they would do that from the get go, maybe they wouldn't have to do that at the end of a game because we would be coasting to a win. If we don't fix the playcalling and our secondary, don't expect much from the Redskins this year. We should have rolled the Rams. instead we won by 2 with not a single TD. That's pathetic. and a lousy win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 lol even the campbell haters and bashers can't blame this one on campbell look at last week and it truely was the same problem in the redzone.. skins get in the redzone and zorn tries to plow it in but can't. Zorn is idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKSFN813366 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 HateNMyEyez and Gamebreaker, opinions vary. If you look, I'm not alone in this sentiment, so perhaps there's something we're seeing that you are not. Listen to the analysts today and tomorrow and we'll see who's more on target in their assessment of Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metskins Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Campbell sucks. He's incapable of hitting a guy in stride on a streak route. He can't throw a fade to save his life. If it isn't a curl or a crossing pattern, he can't do it. Jim Zorn is a disgrace as a playcaller. Greg Blache is a joke, his scheme is ridiculous. Vinny is a stooge. Our owner is a spineless twit. Have I left anyone out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Smith Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The interesting issue is whether Zorn personally takes the blame for the day and says it's on him. If he doesn't, then... wow. Just, wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Red Zone play calling stinks 1st down - run 2nd down - run 3rd down - run/pass only one shot in the end zone on 3rd and long..... if that every freaking time when the defense knows the play it's 10X harder to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Smith Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 not an impressive showing from the coaches... i really felt like zorn was trying to get fired at points in the game. Exactly. It was as if he was drunk, crazy, stubborn, clueless, or panicked... or a combination of all of them. This is one of the most surreal Skins' wins I can remember.

CRAZYHORSE19682003 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 The playcalling in the redzone indicates one important thing, Jim Zorn has ZERO confidence in Jason Campbell. I mean he would rather have Clinton Portis Throw it than Jason. Campbell is a dud and can not play the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMAN911 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Coach zorn sucks as a play caller!! Too many runs in the redzone!! Can we throw a fade to malcom kelly???? Jeez!! And how about scoring in the final seconds... We take a knee??? As much as i love the skins... We are soft!!! Greg blache... Put orakpo on the line dammitt!! The kid is not a linebacker... Hes a friggin defensive end!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have no defensive pressure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Smith Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 For all his talk of "staying medium," Zorn tenses up when under pressure and doesn't think clearly a lot of the time. It spills over and creates bad vibes and mistrust with Campbell. So, so lame. Thank God there are no style points for wins in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81artmonk Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have no confidence in Jim Zorn as the head coach. None. He's stopped by his special teams coach when calling timeout too soon. I agree Zorn appears to be the problem this season so far. He appeared confused this game. He has his running back attempt a TD pass to his tight end instead of his QB and one of his two tall receivers. I disagree, saw nothing wrong with this call. It wasn't successful because the O-line didn't protect well enough and was holding. I agree with the WR though. They have shown some flashes, and why we don't use them is confusing me. He calls for a running play that loses yards on 4th and 1 on the 2 yard line, instead of a QB sneak or a field goal. No excuse. Maybe the team has to wait until their 'bye' week, but I really think Jim Zorn needs to be released from his head coaching duties with the Redskins. I don't like writing those words, but it's the sad truth. Yeah I agree. A sweep play with only a 1/2 yrd is pathetic. I applaud the guts to go for it, but if you're gonna do that, you have to make the right call and Zorn clearly did not. Some coaches are better suited as assistants. Norv Turner is a prime example. great offensive mind however horrible coach. I believe the same of Zorn. However how he has called plays these last two years make me wonder how good he is at that. My other issue with Zorn is his toughness. He seems to tip toe around his players. When they really screw up his comments have been, "no need to yell at them, they know what they've done wrong." I'm sure they do, but embarrassment and chastisement are good motivators. Think Lombardy or ditka or the tuna babied their players. I don't know for sure becuase I'm not in the locker room or at practice, but just from what he says and does, it seems like he is a wussy of a coach.

TheismannQuote Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 His justification for not going for a field goal after the first go-for-4th, "Then we would have to cover the kickoff, so...that's an extra play.

Campbell is a dud and can not play the position. which is why he kept leading the offense up and down the field only to have zorn take the game out of his hands? same thing happened last week. check yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Zorns is saying he is feeling really good about the win :doh: Grow some nads Zorn. You won 9-7 when it should have been at least 28-7 if you knew how to call a damn play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
