Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Panthers)

Gibbs probably could have straightened this out but Gibbs didn't have to deal with constant rumors of being replaced and he had Dannys full support. Now, Gibbs is THE MAN if you ask me, but would it have killed Danny to come out and say that Zorn is his coach and he has his full support? Maybe let the players know that Zorn wasn't going anywhere and they needed to get their ass in gear? I think that would have been a good thing for a young coach that you supposedly had so much confidence in not so long ago.

I think Gibbs would probably have found a way to straighten out this mess eventually. This team seems to be falling apart more and more as time goes on, instead of better. The problem with Gibbs's recent coaching stint was - his offensive style of game was boring and too predictable.

I dunno, seems that Gibbs did the best he could and in the end he could barely raise the team's head out of the water. Now they've fallen flat back on their faces without him. It's going to take some drastic changes, ones that I'm not sure Snyder is willing to make. So it looks like we're destined to toil around in mediocrity until Snyder finally realizes his way is the wrong way.

Excellent point. Pretty impressive for someone who isn't even a moderator...Skinny Tee, I'm just yanking your chain :)

I think though that one reason he won't is that (apart from the obvious that he doesn't have confidence in him) is that I'm not sure Zorn ever has had Snyder's full support. Zorn has Cerrato's full support (had it at least), and Cerrato has Snyder's (had it at least) so in that sense yes Zorn does have (did have?) Snyder's full support but I don't think Snyder feels the same way about Zorn as he did for say Spurrier.

Okay, Here's a question for you guys.

Most (if not all) of you know a whole lot more than I do:

If you keep JC, what kind of contract do you give him?

I think we should sign him to a 2 year deal and then bring in some competition. Anyone know the status of Kevin Kolb's contract?

Are you sure? I thought Williams was inactive, but not Will Montgomery.

Here's Reid's list

Redskins Insider - Rinehart Out, Mike Williams In (with Inactives) (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/rinehart-out-mike-williams-in.html)That was my source as well, although at gametime. It's possible that I saw "Montgomery" and thought Will, though it was written as Anthony, although I'm pretty sure it read "Will Montgomery" at one point.

I dunno.

My quibble with the QB rating systems is their is no allowance for fumbles.

If you count a fumble the same as an interception, than JC's rating drops from 88.5 for all 2009 to a lowly 65.8.

JC would not fumble often if we have O-line to protect him.. This goes to every QB in the league..

That's true.

But not every sack need turn into a fumble.

But not every sack need turn into a fumble.

Right.. JC was sacked 5 times and he fumbled only once.. If JC fumbled every time he was sacked, then I'm in bandwagon with you but that's not what happened..

Calling a sweep in your own endzone: stupid. Burning your last timeout with 8 mins left in the game, because you don't like the defense: stupid. Zorn: stupid. Fire Zorn: smart.

WTF ever happened to the trap play? HB power? So f'ing ridiculous. This is high school shit, and Zorn doesn't even get it. He's too busy trying to run end-arounds and HB options. Major f'ing douche. GTFO Zorn.

JC is like a scared little puppy. Almost all of the sacks we've had are his fault. He's gotta get the ball out quicker, but it seems he won't throw a pass unless the guy is wide open. Maybe it's because the WRs aren't running good routes, but I think he's just too scared. GTFO JC.

Where the F was Cooley? He's our leading receiver, and I don't even think he was targeted once. Stupid Zorn, just stupid.

Well Cooley was not targeted to help "The Animal" D'Batiste
