Zorn Demotion Shows More of the Same From Snyder's Skins.

On Sunday evening, Vinny Cerrato "suggested" that Jim Zorn give up his playcalling responsibilities to offensive consultant Sherman Lewis, who has been out of the NFL since 2004 and was volunteering at a retirement home two weeks ago when he was called in by the Redskins.

In the bumbling yet likeable tone that Zorn has carried throughout his tenure in Washington, Zorn reluctantly complied with the wishes of the front office. As if things couldn't get worse for the Redskins, who stand at 2-4 after facing a historically easy schedule, the man who is supposed to come through for the team as a leader and motivator has effectively been emasculated by the Redskins' front office.

The hiring of Lewis and the move to strip Zorn of his playcalling responsibilities are another pair of questionable moves in a long list orchestrated by the Snyder-owned Redskins. Once again, Snyder's regime has shown that their tendency for harsh, drastic change underminds the desire to implement continuity and build a winning franchise.

If the Redskins' front office truly believes that the heart of the Redskins' problems lie in lackluster playcalling, they need to step back and take a look in the mirror. An average football fan pulled off the street could be brought in to call plays, and the results would look the same behind the porous offensive line that the Redskins have put together over the last few years. If you can't block, you can't run and you can't pass.

By some miracle, this may give Zorn a chance to pull the Redskins locker room together and get them on a run. Perhaps the relief of the extra responsibility of playcalling will allow Zorn to focus more on building morale in the locker room and getting this team motivated.

But in reality, this is likely the first step before Zorn is fired after the Monday night matchup with the Eagles.
