I don't think Jim Zorn reacted the way Vinny Cerrato, Danny Snyder and the Redskins had hoped. The team said all the right things after Zorn was named the "head coach for this year, maybe longer", but his demeanor reveals that his reprieve is not appreciated.

In tonight's game against Philadelphia, Zorn spent most of the game looking defeated. He moped a bit. Major game-changing events like penalties assessed against the wrong team and turnovers did not seem to faze him. Perhaps he was staying medium, but realistically Zorn has checked out.
The Washington Post said it best. If the Skins turn it around, people will give credit to the new playcaller. If the Skins continue to fail, they'll blame Zorn and not the offensive line. There is no scenario in which the Redskins can improve as the season progresses and Zorn can take some credit in it. He's a lame duck, and Portis and crew know it.

They've lost Portis, as evidenced by his body language tonight. They'll lose the rest soon.

And Jon Gruden should be corrected on air for these two comments:
"Randle-El is one of the more sure-handed punt returners in the league."


"There's no question Fred Davis is an outstanding pass receiver."

    Who want to go in there and try and clean up that mess? Shanahan turned it down. And everyone thought working for Jerry was bad.

      I feel so bad for Zorn that I actually want him to start winning! There is no bigger underdog anywhere right now than him.

      He does need a good win over a credible team. Hell, it will probably be the Cowboys.....LOL. They always have a hard time in Landover.

      I think the Boys got it on track against a really good Atlanta team, I'm not so sure the 'Skins can beat them. Maybe the Giants. They look to be falling apart.
