Blame for everyone...almost

Well it appears that there's plenty of blame to go around at Redskins park today.  According to this article, Coach Zorn blames first himself, then the rest of his staff for the lackluster performances on the field the last half-season.  And while I admire a man who can admit he's made mistakes, why would it take this long to realize it?

Doesn't that smell of a "I'm afraid to blame anyone else because I'm just the new guy here" kind of remark?

And then Clinton Portis takes a turn at the blame game.  You might remember last week when he lit up Coach Zorn on the radio.  Well this week, he keeps the blame closer to home, as you can read in this article.  CP seems to think that the players on the team are letting themselves down.  

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking we may have seen the first, last and only season under the Zorn regime.  I haven't heard anything from Dan The Fan's office but they usually wait until after the season to mess things up.  I mean, change things for the better.  (right).

Either way, I think the effort shown is indicative of an aging offensive and defensive line.  You can nitpick other areas, but where the majority of the problems start and end are with the lines.  We have virtually no pass rush, we can't hardly protect the QB long enough for him to even drop back and set up a pass, let alone pass it, and lately:  We can't run between the tackles most plays.

Fix what's broken, leave what isn't and I bet we have the tools to turn this whole thing around for the 2009 campaign.

Hail Redskins!  Hold your heads up high, better days are a comin'!
