To list a few offensive changes from this young but memorable season:
-Change on the offensive line. RG Randy Thomas is out for the year. LT Chris Samuels is done for at least that. Undrafted RT Stephon Heyer has been moved to LT. Back-up RG Mike Williams has taken Heyer's original spot so 3rd-string RG Will Montgomery (who?) is filling the void originally left by Thomas. Why not? And Campbell had the nerve to say he wasn't entirely sure of his O-line during the Chiefs game. Psshhh.
-Changes at quarterback. Statistically, JC has been Washington's best offensive player through the first 6 weeks, yet he was benched at halftime of the Chiefs game trailing 0-3. Why not? 74-year-old career back-up Todd Collins played the entire second half and showed no signs of improvement so Campbell is back in the starting lineup this week.
-Changes at WR. 2nd-year wideout Malcolm Kelly was named starter after an impressive preseason. 6 weeks later he's totaled 7 catches for 73 yards and no touchdowns so Devin Thomas will start opposite of Santana this week. Oh yeah, Thomas has 4 catches for 26 yards and no scores either this season but why not?
-Lastly, changes at play-caller. Zorn's offense ranks 26th in the league in yards and 29th in points scored so recently unemployed Sherman Lewis has been handed any and all play-calling duties. Why not? So what if he mistakenly calls out B-11 on 3rd and 15?
Lewis's promotion is only one of many examples of the embarrassing mess that is the Washington Redskins football franchise. In a league where consistency is coveted, the Redskins have successfully managed the opposite. 6 head coaches in over 10 years. Why not? And Zorn looks to be on his way out followed shortly thereafter by Jason Campbell. Hey, maybe if we're lucky we can swap Portis for some other overpaid RB on the downside of his career. Why not? That way we can completely start over from scratch once again with a new coach, a new offense, a new QB and maybe a new RB.
Oh wait, the offensive line desperately needs extensive rehabilitation but Snyderrato could surely delay that another few years, couldn't he? Why not?
Someone get Shanahan on the line.
