WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? REDSKIN BRETHREN?

WILL LONG-TIME REDSKINS FANS LIKE ME ADJUST TO A NEW STYLE (A LA WEST COAST OFFENSE) OR WILL COACH ZORN ADAPT TO LONG TERM MIXING OF THIS AND THE OLD TRIED AND TRUE GRIND IT OUT WASHINTON REDSKIN OFFENSE? DOES A FUTURE HALL OF FAMER CLINTON PORTIS ADAPT AND BUY IN OR OPT OUT? WHICH ONE HAS MORE PULL? I'VE WATCHED THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THIS SEASON AND STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS. 

I REALLY LIKED SOME ASPECTS OF ZORN'S COACHING. HE SEEMS TO BE A GOOD INFLUENCE ON CAMPBELL. SEEMS TO BE A GOOD TEACHER. I'VE SEEN IMPROVEMENT IN CAMPBELL'S DECISIONS AND FOOTWORK. LET'S FACE IT THOUGH, COACH ZORN IS ON THE LEARN WHILE YOU EARN PLAN. I FEEL LIKE THIS PROCESS MAY WORK, BUT THAT IS JUST A FEELING. BOTTOM LINE I WATCHED TOO MANY GAMES , SEEING AN IMPOTENT OFFENSE WEAR OUT A SOLID DEFENSE BY TOO MANY THREE AND OUTS. FOURTH QUARTER COMES ROUND AND I'D WAIT FOR THAT TIRED DEFENSE TO GIVE UP THE USUAL BACK BREAKING PLAY THAT WOULD SEAL OUR FATE. TOO MANY FIELD GOALS, TOO CONSERVATIVE WITH OUR APPROACH.

BUT THE HARD RUNNING AND TOUGHNESS OF CLINTON PORTIS HAS WON ME OVER. SO HOW DO YOU MESH THE TWO STYLES? OR CAN YOU? I TRY TO REMIND MYSELF THAT ZORN IS ONLY ONE YEAR REMOVED FROM A STINT AS A QUARTER-BACK COACH. HIRED AS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR ON JIM FOSSIL'S RECOMMENDATION, THEN AWARDED THE HEAD COACHING POSITION SEEMINGLY BY DEFAULT. I KNEW WHEN THAT WHOLE PROCESS STARTED THAT OUR BELOVED OWNER HAD MADE HIS BED WITH RESPECT TO HIS IMPULSIVE NATURE, AND TRYING TO FIND A BIG NAME COACH THAT WOULD COME TO WORK FOR HIM.

OVERALL, I SUPPOSE THAT I FEEL LIKE ZORN CAN BECOME OUR NEXT GREAT COACH. YOU LOOK AT THE ROSTER AND CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL LIKE THE TALENT IS THERE. BUT IS IT THE RIGHT TALENT FOR HIS SYSTEM? AS ANY OTHER LONG TIME REDSKIN THAT CAN STILL REMEMBER THE BEAUTY OF BILLY KILMER'S WOUNDED DUCK SPIRALS, I HOPE SO. KEEP THE FAITH.
