Hooper Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/14/AR2009101403646.html?hpid=topnews Preparing for yet another winless opponent, Redskins players concluded practice Wednesday in a light drizzle, and the storm clouds surrounding Redskins Park showed no signs of dissipating. Inside the locker room, two prominent players on offense and a veteran defensive player said they want team management to publicly address Coach Jim Zorn's job security. Click link for article.

GoSkins561 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Whatever, everyone knows including Zorn that he is toast. If he wasn't going tolose a large chunk of change, I almost wish he would tell Danny Boy to pound sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny555 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I like Zorn. Not his playcalling or coaching. He's a really nice person. I was all for this hire, I wanna give him til the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johns Bass Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Quite frankly, what else could you expect them to say? They are still a team so you hang with who are with and stand by them. You certainly are not going to make progress by pointing fingers and saying, "Off with his head." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins561 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ah, finally. The players are finally taking a stand against management (well, not really, but still, good stuff) In a way they are, why would they go out and put their bodies and potential future contract on the line if this year is already over? It's going to get very ugly this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I really want Zorn to succeed, because he's an extremely likable guy. And I don't feel that all the blame lies on him...but that doesn't matter to Danny. It's nice to see the players coming to the coaches defense, it shows at least they've still got some intestinal fortitude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I want Zorn to publicly endorse better play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prufRock Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The article's headline is a little misleading. In the text of it, they say the players said if Zorn is going to remain the coach, they'd like the front office to say so and that was just so they didn't have to keep answering questions. It's not as though the players are asking the front office to keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxpunk2006 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Its a great sign that Zorn still has the players' support. We probably aren't making the playoffs anyway so I would like to see Zorn finish out year #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C26 Run Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 They should. Zorn is taking alot of fire, some of it is fair and some of it isn't. Our FO has created fiasco after fiasco. With all the consultant hires this FO does, at some point the FO just has to be replaced. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD5 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 They didn't stand behind him during the Portis radio debacle last year. That is where he lost the team. They have the spine of jellyfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sounds like they're just tired of answering questions about it, not that they really like Zorn. Not exactly inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McD5 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 A team official said the Redskins would not comment on Zorn's status Wednesday. Vinny Cerrato, the Redskins' executive vice president of football operations, was given the opportunity last week on a conference call with reporters to offer such an endorsement and chose not to. Vinny, you are a little weasel. You are a disgrace. You asked everyone to judge you by your Zorn hiring. And now you hide like a little girl.

TheGoodBits Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My take on this is that it's a good sign. The players still believe in themselves and the coaching, despite the fact that the fans obviously do not. We're barely 1/4 of the way through the season and we are already talking draft strategies. But the players don't want to hear that. They think they still have a chance to turn this around and be productive. Makes me want to believe in them too. Man I hope we come out on fire Sunday. Not counting on it by any means, but I really, really hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 these were the most telling pieces for me: "A team official said the Redskins would not comment on Zorn's status Wednesday. Vinny Cerrato, the Redskins' executive vice president of football operations, was given the opportunity last week on a conference call with reporters to offer such an endorsement and chose not to." "Two of the players added that any statement short of a vote of confidence -- including not commenting -- leads to organizational divide at a time everyone associated with the Redskins needs to unite in order to turn the season around.
