I’m not going to bash Dan Snyder for his comments, or for throwing Vinnie under the bus the way Vinny threw Zorn under the bus. Give him until the off-season. Snyder makes a point not to make many comments of substance during the regular season and there’s some good reasons for that.

If he promises to fire Vinny before he has a replacement lined up, that’s very short sighted and foolish. He’s got to work with Vinny until the end of the season or at least until he has a replacement chosen, so you don’t want to announce that until it happens.

Of course, it may not happen at all. He may very well try to keep Vinny on board for another year. At THAT point, I’m ready to give up on Mister Snyder and his statements on how hard he’s trying. After this season, even he can’t ignore how badly his boy Vinnie failed, and no big name signing or quick fix is going to make that better.

If he can’t come to terms with that and make the changes needed to right the ship, then he deserves the scorn he’s getting. But we need to at least give him a chance to do the right thing before we crucify him for doing the wrong thing.

Not only is having Randle El return punts bad, but the way it happened is even worse. According to ESPN 980, Randle El heard from the media that he wasn’t going to be returning the punts and went and had a talk with Zorn and talked Zorn out of making a change. If Zorn isn’t able to tell a man that he can’t return punts when he has clearly failed on every level, he’s not ready to be head coach. You have to be able to bench people when they don’t perform. I know he’s got a hippy, feel-good positive vibe to him, but you have to make tough decisions as head coach and he’s flaking out on this. It just seems very wrong to go back on what you said because you don’t have the guts to stand up to one of your players.

Rico- Couldnt agree more!
I sure hope we (fans) dont turn to wearing bags over our heads for the games as was suggested to me by “friends” in KC. However If it keeps getting ugly we wont need to cut eye holes.

Skins are in a hopeless spiral, Brenen is on IR, Randel El is the third QB and Collins is waaay past his prime.

Line is a shattered replica of acceptable and Campbell really is not the leader they thought.

Players aside, if Zorn’s play calling is ok then the playbook is not……anyone who can see this team like a coach can should re-align the plays to fit whatever strength is left on the Offenseive side of the ball.

Portis outside is bad, Portis inside is bad, only play that had any success on a regular basis was Cooley across the middle or short down and outs and now he is out for the year.

Only thing the Skins have to play for is Pride, all else is a foregone conclusion…there is no play offs in store for them.

Maybe Randel should QB and Portis return punts??

Zorn is a gutless AFC’er who lost us several games because he lacks a sac
