| The Redskins finished last in the NFC East with an 8-8 record in Jim Zorn's first season as head coach. |
As part of NFL Network's 32 teams in 32 days series, airing daily on Total Access, NFL.com takes a look at a key question facing each NFL team.
NFL Network analysts Brian Billick and Jamie Dukes discuss the Washington Redskins under Jim Zorn. Where will the Redskins fall in the NFC East in Zorn's second season as head coach?
Read their takes and then enter the discussion below.
Billick: Campbell is key The key in Washington is that as much as it is coach Jim Zorn's second season with the Redskins, it will also be Jason Campbell's second consecutive year in the same offense under the same offensive coordinator.I think that will be a big part of how much success the Redskins will have. It's been well-documented that Campbell has bounced between different offensive systems. As Campbell goes, so go the Redskins. I think the Redskins can be very competitive. When you look at the teams in the division, they have enough questions about them that the Redskins can be a factor in the NFC East. | Dukes: Audition for Campbell I really don't know where to put the Redskins in the NFC East. One thing that is intriguing is that it's audition time for Jason Campbell.Campbell has probably dodged a couple of bullets because we know that the organization had interest in Jay Cutler and some flirtation and infatuation with Mark Sanchez. Some people think Campbell was done wrong by the way the Redskins handled it. But at the end of the day, he has an opportunity to shut them up. He can control his own destiny because he will be the starter this season. At the end of the day, that's all you can ask. I think Campbell has to get more aggressive and take some more chances. He's been very cautious with the football, and understandably so, because it seems like he sensed they wanted to run him out. But I think he has to just throw caution to the wind and let the chips fall where they may. Wherever they fall, they fall. |
