Weak Nine

Obama wins! Tough sacrifice for diehard Redskins fans but one that almost anybody would be willing to make.

All comedy aside, though, the Skins were in for a rough night when they could only scrounge 6 points in the first quarter. Dick LeBeau showed exactly how to handle Jim Zorn's offense. As the Washington Post noted, quarterback Jason Campbell was the one who paid the price, suffering seven sacks and his first two interceptions. Portis was bottled up and the Redskins couldn't sustain any drives. Now every team will have a blueprint of how to frustrate the Midwest Coast Offense. In the humble opinion of a fan who's never played or coached football at any level, Zorn needs more rollouts, bootlegs, and backside runs to keep the defense guessing. Adding in more misdirection plays will be key.

Dallas will come in with a major chip on their shoulder after being embarrassed at home. Will Zorn and company be able to adjust their gameplan after their weaknesses were exposed? I believe so.
