Maybe that, maybe not running very vanilla and predictable plays, maybe a lot of things.

Maybe if he did like the other good coaches in the league and put his players in position to do what they do best.
Patriots didnt have a all star squad of wr's when they started winning titles, BB and his OC schemed to put them in position to play to their strengths.

One thing the Pats have that the Skins dont is a super star QB and that makes up for a lot.

Here's one thing I couldn't figure out. And maybe someone else here could shed light on this.

30 seconds left in the game. We're deep in our own zone and need to score a TD. Our most clutch (only clutch?) receiver is Chris Cooley...and he's standing on the sidelines next to Jim Zorn? Why?

Yeah I was sitting there in front of the computer yelling "WHERE IS COOLEY?! WHERE IS COOLEY?!" with my roomie staring at me. Our playcalling seems off, our packages at certain times in the game seem off, well.. everything seems off but just the fundamentals definitely as well. I don't understand why we don't use him on more delayed TE screens either, he can obviously barrel down the field after the catch.

Well maybe better coaching would improve our players so they can contribute. Good coaches design plays to get the ball in the play makers hands. Why aren't Malcom and Devin running slants and come back routes to use their big bodies to shield the defenders. How about TE screen with Cooley and Davis. Why not use Sellers more as a pass threat out of the backfield? I hope Sherm Lewis will find away to get the ball to our playmakers.

It seems like Zorn as a classic case of "I'm to smart for my own good". In other words, he just can't understand the abilities and limitations of his players enough to create effective game plans. He assumes that they just need to be able to do whatever he can think up. You need to coach to your teams strengths and abilities. Guys are underachieving and the game plans are ineffective.

I'm, personally, tired of hearing that the players need to "play faster" and "execute".

I think it was because they wanted to give Armstrong a look. At least that's what the rumor was.

..that would be, 'TOO smart for my own good', and it seems to me if there is a lack of understanding regarding player limitations, its with the GM/Owner who, for example, did nothing to improve on the limitations of the O line. As long as Snyder treats this team like his own 'special' monopoly game, where he buys the coolest pieces, rather than build a team, he will continue to get the same results he has had the last ten years.

This really isnt a very good team right now.
