Obviously, Redskins' Woes Not the Fault of Zorn

In another questionable (ahem, stupid) move by Danny Snyder, he stripped Jim Zorn's playcalling duties and decided to turn the job over to Sherman Lewis, a good coach in his own right, but also the same guy who hasn't been involved with the NFL in about five years.

So what was the result? Well, the Redskins did manage to tie their season-high in terms of points scored, so that would be considered a successful night. Unless of course that season-high is an absolutely putrid 17 points, with the last seven of them coming in garbage time against an Eagles defense playing a soft zone.

In other words, the playcalling did not lose the game for the Redskins last night. Regardless of the play being called, the offense still has to execute, and there was not much execution. Not unless you count the complete execution of Zorn's dignity.

It's incredible that Danny Snyder would go out and hire a guy to be a head coach with absolutely none of the credentials to handle the job, and then want to try to alienate and push him out of the franchise because he's giving you the results of a man unqualified for the job.

Realistically, the Redskins have enough talent to be winning football games. But, they're not, so what's the problem? The problem is Snyder.

He does not know how to judge talent, or character for that matter, and when he does actually identify talent, he will overpay that talent to the point of draining the rest of the team.

The bottom line is that Snyder just does not understand how to run a football team. He doesn't understand how to win in the NFL and the proud Redskins franchise will never know real success as long as he continues to act as his own G.M. I firmly believe that even his yes-man Vinny Cerrato could do a better job than Snyer.

Not because we know anything about Cerrato, but because he couldn't possibly be worse.

A team with Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, Santana Moss, Albert Haynesworth, DeAngelo Hall, Carlos Rogers, Andre Carter, and London Fletcher has absolutely no business sitting at 2-5. It's absolutely unfathomable and is the product of a lack of leadership from the top.

Unfortunately for the good people of Washington, D.C., a coach can be fired, a GM can be fired, a player can be cut or traded, but the owner is there for as long as he chooses, and there's about as good a chance of Snyder selling this team as there is that the Redskins actually win the division.

Yes, it's a vicious circle.
