which means they have a closed mind and are not going to be open to hearing they are the problem. Cause they already think it's not them or the play calling or scheme....it's all the players and exicution.

I think there are some things that can be done differently but MOST of it IS execution IMO.

Question. When Smith came over from Tenn. Did they run the WCO? What made him qualified to be an OC? I mean seriously. Maybe this guy is the problem. He seems stubborn. Blache at least made some adjustments. Now the defense is playing better. If everyone executed -- all the teams would be Superbowl contenders. That's not the point. You put your players in a position to be successful. Not be so prideful you expect everything you draw up will work. He has mainly worked as a running back coach his whole career. How does our running game look. I am beginning to not like this guy. We need to execute. But like running sweeps to the left. That's not us. We ran up the middle on the goal line. Smith might be a liability to Zorn. Zorn seems a little more grounded and he is still a young coach. But Smith seems like he has his head up his ass IMO.

Was there any coach on our team this season or last season that had success in the WCO period besides the old Seahawks QB coach that helped the QB's? That says a lot about this organization right there.

I understand what you're saying but Smith isn't the one dropping TD passes and getting penalties. I'm not crazy about the running game either and adjustments need to be made but if the players don't execute the plays it doesn't matter what you call. Missed blocks, false starts etc. are a direct product of poor execution. The observation that Lewis made after watching film was that there were too many mistakes being made by the players that continuously bog down the offense.

No I don't have a link. I think it was on Redskins Nation with Larry Michael that I saw it. Sherm said he spent the first night watching film with Zorn. What he saw was, different players making mistakes. It wasn't any one player but different players at different times. One play it would be a lineman missing a block, the next play a receiver doing something wrong and the next play a RB messing up. He said this bogs down the offense.
