Redskins hire offensive consultant

[The Goat]

The offense already lacks a cohesiveness, or rather an identity. Not sure how bringing in another helps that unless this guy has a vision for our players on offense and is actually allowed to implement what he wants. Doesn't sound like that's the story here. Also the dude isn't gonna be our HC at 67 and a bunch of time out of the league.

...on the other hand if Lewis real job is to work w/ the WR corp and generally the passing game this could be a great move. Going off percentages, kicking Hixon to the curb makes us 30% better instantly, replacing him w/ someone who can teach our WR talent to play like WRs gets us another 35%, so we could possibly be 65% better in a few weeks OMG I'm so excited.

I've been retired for three years, and I could still go back and do the job right! But I'm a far cry from age 67! The hardest adjustment I'd have is getting up at 4:00 a.m. again!

This hire smells so much like a coaching change at years end.

Lewis is in there to grease the wheels for Holmgren I bet. He is going to get a first hand look at what the problem is with execution, etc and if Mike does indeed et the call at the end of the season, Sherm will have a plan in place or at least a proper diagnosis of how to fix the offense. I can't see how Sherm can really help us all that much right now since a lot of the problem is lack of execution with our WR corp and a banged up line. Play calling is a big part of the problem, but ARE, and the newbies have been non existent the past few games.

Well he coached Hall of Famers like Rice Moss and others. So I think he might just have a little knowledge or advice for our WRs. And as far as play calling I am sure he can consult Zorn on what he is doing wrong. This man has won everywhere he has been and helped produce Hall of Famers. I am sure as an assistant coach he can give advice on proper execution of the WCO.
