1 sack tonight, and it was on JC -- but he saved the OL a lot of embarassment as well.

Zorn did look like a deer in the headlights, he also looked like a guy coaching his first game in a hostile stadium against the defending champs. I'm alright with it.

But he didn't turn over the ball. These were bad play calls. PERIOD.

with 5 minutes left why the f@%* were we running the ball?? can i get some passes and some decent clock management?

[SFREDSKIN]

My observations are that Campbell is still learning this offense, holds on to the ball too long sometimes. We should activate and play Fred Davis, I think that would help our passing offense, not having Springs hurt. Too many dropped balls by our DB's, couldn't stop Jacobs or Burress. Hopefully during the 10 days off they can adjust the 2 minute offense plus no huddle. We have to involve Devin Thomas and hopefully Kelly and work on stopping the run.

I 2nd that statement we had to put Cooley on the line and block all game he have one catch for what 7 the o-line was owned once again.

Let's just pray that Zorn turns out to be half the Coach Joe Gibbs was.

I'm not defending JC, he needs to do his adjustment, but the receivers were not helping and this area has been identified as an area of problem in our offense.

i know, like i said before im not saying the recievers were perfect, im just talking about campbell right now, tommrow ill probaly start on the them lol. But one thing though hasnt our reveiver corp always been a big issue the last few years?

[CRedskinsRule]

take out the first two giant series, and i felt the game was doable. i still hold my excitement for the year, but i want the skins to win so bad. i will hold out hope.
finally, does anyone else think billy mitchell on comcast is awfully negative!
plus did anyone else notice devon thomas' catch he looked sharp.

10 more days!

i totally agree, finally someone else who says devin need to involved more, i mean for someone who is supposed to the future he only saw the freaking feild twice on offense..

[Skinz4life]

Did anyone else feel that Mike Sellers wasn't used enough. I would have like to see him used more like Gibbs used him like an extra Offensive lineman.

A few things I forgot, when passing on 3rd, go beyond the line of scrimmage for the 1st down, not behind. Antonio Pierce is a FUCKING PUNK!! I hate that guy.

Campbell played much better in the 2nd half, and if it weren't for drop passes, running short routs (*cough*Thomas*cough*) and the fact that we were behind, things would have looked much better. I think Zorn needs to focus on the run as a way to develop the pass. He should have noticed that once Portis started to run the ball, the passes opportunities were there. All the pundits were saying that the Redskins needed to do a good job running the ball, instead the team went pass happy and Campbell got harrassed and sacked.

I must say that I'm not that concerneda about the defense if they become healthy. They were without Springs, then Smoot, and Taylor was not 100% and they still held the Giants to just one TD and three field goals. Given on the offense was performing, the defense would have easily given up another three TDs.

When I heard Jerry Jones was very pissed when we took Colt I didn't think much of it. Now I think JC needs to sit. I love this team, but that was more than embarssing. That was horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible. I know it's just the first game but damn that JC guy looked like a joke.

Devin & Malcolm have great talent but their preseason didn't help them and if the vets having caught onto the offense why would they?
