MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GIANTS VS. REDSKINS

In this past Monday, ESPN Monday Night Football Crew made a trip to a snowy Nation's Capitol and televised a National Disappointment. The Redskins who have been struggling to get wins and find their rhythm this year had their old General Manager resign, Vinny Cerrato. Then a couple days ago Dan snider finds a guy by the name of Bruce Allen for the open GM spot. Bruce Allen happens to be the son of the great George Allen; George, the one who created the team as we call the skins, but anyways the other interesting part on Bruce's resume was that he was a former Baltimore Colts punter. He used to also be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM, and before that a senior executive for the Oakland Raiders. And also on his packed resume was that he was the executive Vice President of Football Operations. Anyways, on his first day on the job he watched in his nice warm Sky Box the Redskins being stomped over, smashed, dominated, harassed, and embarrassed by the giants. the long game finished with a score of 45 to 12. It was no surprise to the Redskins fans and staff as they watched their team play it's usual game. The Redskins are trying to avoid this type of play and sell more tickets before they become like the Jacksonville Jaguars, which is basically bankrupt and has not had 1 sellout game this year. Well I say Snider and Allen can start by firing the whole offensive coaching staff and the head coach who has done nothing besides mark red L's (losses) on our schedule. Zorn is a man who came to Washington with no plan and he expected that things may magically workout. It's DC buddy, nothing magically works out the way anybody wants it. And Zorn still hasn't gotten use to that Washington lifestyle, where you have do hard work, and come in with a plan to every where you go. And Snider and Allen can solve this problem by trying to get Mike Shanahan as the head coach. Let's face it the Redskins Defense is great, the reason why they haven't been playing good is because the offense is going 3 and out every time they get on the field and the defense basically gets a good 1 and half minute break and they have to go back on to the field, which forces them to become TIRED. Therefore, making the defense slow and they cant get to the ball carrier fast if they're going that slow. So the whole team problem comes back to the offense. The offense has players are capable of being possibly good and successful. The thing is is that Jim Zorn is running his Seattle Seahawks West Coast offense with a team that plays the run more than the pass. The original Redskins offense was 70% run team and a 30% passing team, because the player at QB wasnt performing well. And Jim Zorn's Seahawks had a great and experienced QB in Matt Hasselback. Well let me tell you Zorn, Jason Cambell ain't no Matt Hasselback. Also, the West coast offense is 75% pass 25% run. So Zorn completely put our hall of fame Running Back out of the picture and tried to make our struggling QB a star. Well that didnt seem to work out. So Zorn completely changed the Redskins style of football that we all know and Love which was smashmouth football. The style where you the get the yards the hard way and running it right up the gut of the opposing team's Defensive Line, and we were doing that with Clinton Portis. And the way the old skins used to do it was conservative and not wild and stupid. Zorn was running an offense that does trick plays like having the WR throw the ball up for the QB who was taking the WR's job. He was not thinking in any situation on every play, the usyal coach thinks before he calls a play. If you saw this past monday's game, you say Jim Zorn call a play where we were in fieldgoal range and with the fieldgoal unit out on the ifeld he shifts half of the blocking to the deep wide left side of the field and the kicker than turns into the blocker and the punter turns into the QB. Well the kicker got run over and injured and the punter who threw the ball up to a lineman on the otherside threw it about 20 yards, not even close the lineman and he was hit after he threw it and he was injured because the Giants had 5 Lineman on the otherside of the kicker and they killed the only Redskins blocker. And in a situation where you can smart and hit the field goal and get some points before halftime Zorn does something miraculous and stupid. Zorn goes for it on 4th down and 10 in games that are close and loses the game for us. My example of this is only 5 words that will make you groan and think what is wrong with this guy and those 5 words are, he lost to the Lions. Yes I just said that. He lost to the Lions. This is how Mike Shanahan can help, he plays balanced footbal. Which in the NFL is 55% pass 45% run. He also helps QB's become better. For example Jay Cutler. Cutler was great with the broncos and now that Mike and Cutler are separated Cutler has become a laughingstock to all NFL fans. Anyways I'm saying fire Zorn and all the people that are involved in the Redskins offense and fire them. THe redskins have a lot of money, so Snider use it on the team and not for your entertainment. Hire Shanahan if you get the chance, and get new offensive staff, and lets make a heck of a good football team.
