More of the Same

Jim Zorn is still employed, but it seems the coach search is on.

Rick Snider reports that "Snyder is seeking is a candidate willing to leave major personnel decisions to Cerrato and the owner," which leaves former Bucs coach Jon Gruden as the top pick, speculators say.

Listening to the press conference after Sunday's loss to the Panthers, it sounds like Zorn would like an o-line if he could get one. When asked by a reporter how he expects to run any kind of an offense with the line the way it is, Zorn responded that the Skins will have to make do with what they have, and reiterated that it's really his responsibility to make his offense produce in spite of such a handicap.

"We made strong efforts to seek a free agent on the o-line," but things just haven't panned out. Why haven't they gone for some linemen in the draft? "We felt other players were better -- and, you know -- higher on the board at that particular time."

If Snyder hires Gruden so he and Cerrato can continue to avoid building an o-line, I don't expect his tenure as head coach to end well.
