One of the questions/criticisms of Zorn when he was hired from those who knew him in Seattle were his stubbornness and ability to deal with adversity. He's confident in his abilities and ideas but had a tendency to be rather rigid in his beliefs. It'd be nice to see some adaptability to things that may make the offense more effective.

You have a good point, I was thinking about shotgun part myself as well a while ago.. But all I'm trying to say that it's not all Zorn's fault, like DirtyLandry appears to be claiming so.. O-line factor does play in this role..
