Ok,

So I support Sherm Lewis, but I also am a contrarian at heart. So let me add this thought. When any new structure change comes, both teams have to respond. With Lewis coming to the Redskins at a point of HUGE upheaval, both in the roster due to injuries and coaching staff due to fan unrest, our opponents best guess at designing game plans rested on what Zorn had done. Lewis' playcalling and use of players has seemed much better than Zorn in my opinion, BUT, as we adjust to Lewis, and opponents get film on his tendencies and techniques, the question once again will come down to execution, and that will be the measure of where we finish this season. If Campbell continues his fumblitis, something we thought he had done away with, and his errant long balls, all the playcalling in the world will not make a difference to the teams coming up on our roster.

that said:

Lewis rocks, and I think the offense had NO confidence in Zorn's playcalling, and now between the backups getting chances to prove themselves, and players seeing results on the field, we are gonna continue to see more and more effective offense, something that has been missing around these parts for many years! last week 20+ this week 30+, against the raiders I may go over 40!
