COACHING GRADES

Redskins' midseason report card: coaching

Date published: 11/4/2009

By Jason Campbell

Jim Zorn doesn't have a roster with enough playmakers and talent, but he bears a significant amount of the responsibility for the Redskins' 2-5 record, a mark that seems likely to worsen as they face tougher opponents. He was charged with developing Jason Campbell into an elite quarterback, and Campbell has fallen well short so far. Zorn might not have the ideal personnel to run his West Coast offense, but ultimately his scheme is partly to blame for the NFL's fifth-worst scoring offense. His play-calling and some of his game-management decisions have provided some prime opportunities to second-guess. Offensive line prospects such as Chad Rinehart haven't developed into impact players under coach Joe Bugel. Linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti has helped Brian Orakpo's transition. The Redskins are still waiting for receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly to take off.
