Stop blaming this on Zorn!
He was not even a O coordinator and got offered the opportunity. How many of you would turn it down, huh, to do a job that is several levels over your resume but you would like to get to?
And it shows that he is in over his head due to the craptacular play calling. 4th and goal from the 1, Portis to the left two weeks in a row with the same result. When I see Defenses lining up and pointing to where the play is going and we CAN'T audible out of it, then something is wrong.
This team ended last season with a solid D that NEEDED some points on the board to be even better. We needed help at WR and the O line. Both those things make Jason at least a little better.
So, what do we do? Fat Albert and a hybrid linebacker. Oh, and a guard who is a little better than who he replaced. Yet this mythical "SOLID D can't get off the field. How many 3rd down conversions did Detroit have? 12?13? When it's 3rd and 5 and your DBs are 8yds off the line of course they are going to convert. Blache needs to go too.
We have NO tier one right tackle, a right guard who keeps getting hurt and NO O line depth. Don't forget, no general manager, just a coffee fetcher.
So, where are we? A defense full of stars who are NOT on the same page and an offense that has an O line falling apart, week by week.
I'm not sure I'd call them a defense full of stars.
This is all about Snyder. Period.Snyder is most of it but not all of it.
