Does He Make You Zorny, Baby?

Jim Zorn is the sixth-most popular coach on ESPN’s NFL Coach Ratings (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/sportsnation/ratings), with a 91% approval rating.

That’s up from 33% in Week One.

Once again, the rookie coach has shown that he’s fast taking the Redskins from lead-squandering underachievers to a team that isn’t going to try and run out the clock with a three-point lead and a half to play. For the second week in a row, the Redskins scored a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, unlike last year’s 5-halftime-lead-squandering squad. After these first three weeks under the new regime, it seems that Jim Zorn has taken Joe Gibbs’ run-out-the-clock, mediocre offense and used the same talent to make one that is more than willing to deliver the coup de grace. It’s refreshing. And effective.

I think this is copyright infringement on my sig. I'll let it pass since you're in charge though. lol.

Those bottom four crack me up though.

I'm innocent, I didn't write the article

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think we've struck gold with Zorn. I'm very excited about our future. I expect our offense to hit heights we have'nt seen since our Super Bowl years. If not this year, very soon.

Great article. It made me all warm and fuzzy.... until I read the last couple of sentences. "...exposed Reed Doughty as possibly the worst starting safety in football. He got burned so bad he'll probably need skin grafts." And then I think of TO...

Someone posted a comment on the article stating that Mel Kiper had Horton ranked as a 2nd rounder going into the draft. Can anyone confirm that?

Anyway, that was a good read. Goes to show how important turnovers are. Campbell's 8 lost fumbles and 11 ints last year compared to ZERO this season is a huge, huge difference.

I cant say if he ever had him going in the 2nd, but I believe he had him as the 4th ranked safety. He Also had Colt Brennan going in the 3rd early on.

colt and horton were straight up steals.

It's appropriate. I think we set some kind of record with leading at half and then blowing it. In the last four years, with the exception of maybe 2 games, I never celebrated a win until the clock hit 00:00.

We were a playing not to lose team, i think we've changed that alot under Zorn.

I don't think Doughty is that bad. I'm not sure if he should start or not but he played very well in the 2nd half of the season last year. So, I'm not going to write him off yet. I do like Horton alot though. It's a good problem to have.
