Zorn: 'This is not an easy thing'

Coach Jim Zorn said he was not in favor of ceding play-calling duties to offensive consultant Sherman Lewis but reluctantly agreed because Vinny Cerrato, Washington's executive vice president of football operations, strongly suggested the move be made shortly after Zorn directed another miserable outing on offense during a 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at FedEx Field.

He explained how the Redskins' offense would work with Lewis suddenly in charge of play-calling, less than two weeks ago after being hired out of retirement as a consultant.
