[QUOTE]Here are the highlights of Jim Zorn’s Monday press conference at Redskins Park.
DT [B]Albert Haynesworth[/B] is injured again, but no word on playing this Sunday.
FB [B]Mike Sellers[/B] has a thigh bruise with bleeding. Sellers is questionable for Sunday’s game after being released from the hospital. Seems like an injury rather similar to what [B]Jason Taylor[/B] had last year, but not as severe.

Zorn is a clueless idiot. He isn't even involved in personell decisions anymore. So him defending Suisham is on par with every other decision he has made.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

Fire them both.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

Zorn on PK Shaun Suisham’s botched field goal: “Decent snap, excellent hold, it was a poor kick.”

I don't see that as defending Suisham.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

I defended Suisham after the Dallas game -- we didn't lose that one because of him. But after yesterday, get his ass outta here.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

Even if he DID defend Suisham, he has no choice. I'd much rather have a coach that defends him than hangs him out to dry. The coach shouldn't be deflecting blame to players. Good leaders take responsibility for a loss and give credit to others for a win, it's part of the job.

Agreed, Zorn showed class by not throwing his kicker under the bus. I was mortified earlier this year by Jim Mora Jr. when he placed his teams defeat solely on his kicker.

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

Zorn is a stand up guy, his character has never been under question, his ability as a coach is what should be examined

Yeah, but 23 yards!?!?!?!

He should be thrown under the team bus and backed over a few times.

Here is the defense:
[quote=Zorn]"I trust Shaun Suisham…If I had to send him out to do it again, I’d send him out." Zorn says they lost the game as a team and Suisham isn’t cleaning out his locker today. He listed the other mistakes the team made [fumbles, interception, pass coverage] as evidence that the loss cannot simply be blamed on Shaun Suisham.[/quote]

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

[quote=Buster;636124]Yeah, but 23 yards!?!?!?!

Agreed. Nothing more than an extra point. Suisham has now blown two consecutive games on make-able, extremely make-able field goals for a NFL kicker, 39 and 23.

Only thing is, at 3-9, whats the point in doing anything now?

Re: Zorn presser: Defends Suisham
 

[quote]Zorn: “I trust Shaun Suisham…If I had to send him out to do it again, I’d send him out.”[/quote]

That is absolutely defending Suisham and I am not sure how you muster up trust.

I don't see the defense of Suisham ("poor kick"), especially since Gano is visiting this week, if PFT is to be believed.
