Re: 5 Things Jim Zorn Should Change Right Now

At 1-2, and with time to right the ship, I don't think an all out youth movement is the right thing for this team at the moment. 1-6, 1-7 and yes, you let the young guys get their feet wet, but the season isn't a complete loss. Jarmon did play yesterday, but both Barnes and Mitchell have several guys ahead of them. The downside to a youth movement is letting this guys get banged up to the point where they start regressing too much.

I agree with #4, but you have a former QB as your head coach and play caller, so unfortunately that's not going to change. Zorn is very uncomfortable in allowing Campbell to freely run the offense, and for whatever reason, Campbell cannot audible out when the team in the red zone. Zorn went as far as telling Sonny Jurgenson that last week. Something has to give here, and I think will have to be Zorn dumbing down his offense not because his QB doesn't understand, but because his players aren't executing.

#5 - Zorn does need to relinquish play calling, but his ego will get in the way of doing so. Again, being a former QB, he has a vision that he wants carried out and doesn't feel comfortable in letting others carry out that vision. He needs to take a step back and recollect himself. Allow someone to help with the play calling, preferably from the booth, and get this team's swagger back.
