“The quarterback was benched, the offensive line is banged up, the passing game is ineffective, Clinton Portis has one [rushing] touchdown, Santana Moss has three games with two or fewer catches and Chris Cooley had one with none. Only St. Louis scores fewer points. So now Sherm Lewis steps in and, suddenly, he makes the difference?”

“The Redskins tend to somehow diminish almost everyone they employ, and while the money’s always good, the results usually aren’t. So be careful what you wish for, Messrs. Shanahan, Gruden, Cowher or Holmgren. How much do you value your good name? Based on recent history, becoming the next coach of the Redskins just isn’t worth it. No matter how much loot is dangled in front of your eyes.”

“Brought in to refine everything about Jason Campbell’s game, Zorn has failed there … The other story here, of course, is that Campbell’s contract is up at the end of this year, and now, in addition to looking for a new coach and totally overhauling an awful offensive line in the offseason, they have to find a quarterback too. How attractive, really, is the Redskins’ coaching job right now? The place is a mess.”

“Quick, longtime Eagle watchers, what happens when you throw [Andy] Reid a curve, do something that wasn’t on film, start blitzing from everywhere, confusing a sub-laden line? Does he adjust, with slants and screens and a hurry-up approach, three-step drops, the odd draw play here and there, or does Reid just keep dialing up the plays he practiced all week, with the 47 progressions for McNabb to sort through? We all know the answer there. As noted football expert David Byrne intoned, “Same as it ever was.”
