Jason Campbell and the WCO

He just continues to impress me with the way he's picking up this offense. He's getting the ball out quick and he's been very accurate. Not much to hate so far from JC and the WCO that's for sure! So far it's looking like a great fit... what do you think?

I believe that Jason is starting to get it. This system if run correctly can be very hard to stop. Look at Seattle's version of the west coast offense and how many wins they produced. I mean Matt Hasselbeck at times looks unstoppable in this offense. I not that sold on Campbell reading defenses that good but as long as he gets the ball out of his hands quickly we will be alright. I just wish we ran some naked bootlegs and play more into the strenghts of Campbell and his athletic ability.

I'm sure the bootlegs and getting the ball down the field, we're only seeing a very little bit of the offense. Here's the thing, Zorn being a former QB is going to put Campbell in positions to be successful. He's not going to ask JC to do things he's uncomfortable doing. The game plan will be drawn up each week with the mindset of 'what can Jason do better than the defense can stop him from doing'.

That's the great thing about having a rookie coach vs. Gibbs/Saunders for example. He's not stuck in his ways and trying to make the player fit the ideal of what he thinks the scheme should be or has seen it work "his" way in the past.

I think we are on the right tract for sure. I would like to see a more vertical play. Those passes to the flats will be easy picks. Its predictable. Bootlegs and vert plays have to be used at some point just so we have more balance of plays and keep the def honest . Our running game is great. We need to get the ball down the field and put points on the board. If we go north and south its a lot better then east and west.!!!!

I'm just a young pup here, so I can't post the link, but Matt Mosely :( has a quote from Portis about Zorn actually predicting a major play in each game.
Sounds like Portis is buying into Coach Z as well!

Here is Portis' quote after the Buffalo game:

"Coach Z calls out the plays that are going to stand out in the game," Portis said. "It is two weeks in a row that he called out a play that is going to stand out in the game, and he told us exactly what was going to happen. When you get that excitement, it is good for the team."

Jason went 13-0 (and got robbed not getting to play for a natn'l title) in this offense in his senior year at Auburn, and continued to learn a version of it as a rookie with Bill Musgrave. So it's a much easier transition than, say, a certain 700 page playbook. :doh:

JC looks great so far. He's using his check-downs well too. I'm pretty sure Zorn is gradually rolling out the plays in live action. I'm not too concerned about the lack of deep plays thus far. We're working the sidelines and the middle of the field equally well, and the run game looks very good. Save for the rookie WR injuries, I'm very pleased.

Jason has all the tools- He's unflappable, he's becoming a leader, he's tall, mobile, and has a friggin rifle arm, and most importantly, he's got the work ethic. Plus he's only 26. The sky's the limit. I just hope Jansen can keep DE's out of his face.

I think JC is the most cerebral QB we've had in a long time (if ever). The fact that he has had any success in the NFL or college is proof that he is special given the number of different systems he has played in. I see him being very good for a long time.

Seriously? You do understand that those quick shorter routes are the staple of the WCO offense, right?

I think it's preseason, and to point this out yet again, we scored the most points in preseason history when Spurrier started his tenure here, and we came out like lame ducks.
I'm not saying Campbell will fall into that catagory, just saying, I'm waiting before I make any judgement cause it doesn't matter right now.
