The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

With the addition of Jason Taylor, Patrick Swygert and a hopefully healthy starting CB and LB corp, I think that Zorn's high energy personality will not only show on the offense but on the defense as well.

The only concern that I have at this point is health. I think Zorn's energy will cover up in a lot of instances for his lack of HC experience. If the offense can effectively run the WC offense and our defense can get pressure on the QB, I think we can not only make the playoffs be go deep. Now, it's early and I could turn out to be a complete idiot on this but I'm just being optomistic for our team. It's time that this talent step up and I think this is the year.

We were also last in the league in sacks. The 2 go together.

Very true!

The Redskins have Patrick Swygert, the former Dean of Howard University?

Sweet. Hell of a teacher and a great academic lawyer, though I think his role with the Skins will be a bit unclear.

(I assume you meant Stuart Schweigert?)
