A Tough Week for the Redskins

Oh man. Here we go again. We gave the Lions, the Panthers and now the Chiefs their first win of the season. Teams that haven’t won games in a year or so. Your teams hitting a rough patch? Need an easy win? Play the Redskins!

But seriously…during the Chiefs game, the one that Zorn replaced Jason Campbell with backup quarterback Todd Collins, and the Redskins lost… it seemed to be a turning point for Vinny Cerrato. Instead of firing Zorn, which owner Dan Snyder has made clear he does not want to do, he just got his play calling duties taken away from him. They were given to none other than Sherm Lewis.

I’m not quite sure I understand this. Isn’t the main duty of the head coach to call the plays? If that’s taken away from Zorn, the only thing he has left is call timeouts and throw the challenge flag, and I’m not even sure he knows how to do that correctly.

Jason Campbell Benched

While playing the previously winless Kansas City Chiefs, Jim Zorn decided to bench Jason Campbell and see how backup quarterback Todd Collins would do in his place.
The idea was successful at first; Collins was able to throw for the Skins’ first touchdown of the game. However, the Skins still wound up losing 14-6.

Campbell was pretty off his game, throwing one interception and going 9 of 16 for 89 yards. This was one of the main reasons for Zorn taking him out. Collins completed only six of 14 passes for 75 yards. It is possible he will make more starts in the future unless Campbell can get his act together.
