    Great, but Mike didn't ask you about the Giants. He asked you about the Redskins. Gruden may stay with MNF, but he's still holding out hope for a paycheck from Snyder. As long as he's using MNF as an extended interview for his next coaching job it's going to severely limit his effectiveness as an analyst.
    Exactly right.

      I think Matt Millen may be worse as an analyst than he was as a GM.

        The more I think about that trick play that Worshington made into an abortion, the more I like it. Zorn's gone anyway. Why not make a mockery of the organization? (well, moreso that what has been done already)

        I want more gimmicks. I want the A11 Offense. I want triple-reverses. Just try anything you can think of. It'd be entertaining as hell, it'd give the media a field day, and it would make Dan Snyder's head asplode.

            Triple-option. Tackle eligible on every play, if only to see a ref get hounded a little on every. play.

              Ten man sell-out blitz on every first down. Hook-and-ladder on every passing play. Fake every field goal. Go all "Madden '08" for the last two games and always go for it on 4th down.

                This would be beautiful. Better yet, take ESPN's TMQ's take on Dick Jauron:

                (paraphrased): I think Jauron is actually a wax dummy, and a ball boy pushes the "ask Madden" button, and that's the play he runs.


                I want to see Zorn with a PS3 on the sideline, pushing that button. And I want the cameras to catch that.

                  That's about as close as Zorn will get to coaching in the NFL after this season. Hopefully, he throws in an epic press conference to cap off a season that isn't even close to being his fault.

                    Yeah, we need a press conference. I want blood, sweat, and tears. And a lot of profanity.

                      Hell, wasn't he originally hired to be the OC or QB coach, because Snyder doesn't realize that you don't hire the assistants before the coach?

                        Pretty sure the fumblerooski is illegal in the NFL.

                        I wonder if he could whip out the "wrong ball" play.

                        He could also bust out the Back Split from NFL Blitz. That play was unstoppable - guaranteed 10 yards for somebody somewhere.

                          I think the playcalling is already in Sherm "I-16" Lewis' (in)capable hands, anyway.

                            It is, but hell with that. Zorn should go Buddy Ryan on him and re-take it over.

                              He either ought to do that, or go Bobby Bowden style, where he's just wearing a hat and shades on the sideline, and it's clearly obvious he hasn't paid attention to what's going on.

                              Maybe grab a couple cute interns and have them serve him food and drink instead of carrying around all the wiring and crap.
