Zorn brings West Coast Offence to Washington

Jim Zorn will rely on his staff for the defensive game plan, but it is safe to say when it comes to offense, Washington will be going West Coast.
He will bring the Seattle version of the West Coast offense, a balanced attack.

Scout.com: Zorn Brings West Coast to Washington

This could work in Washington, dont you think?

Re: Zorn brings West Coast Offence to Washington

They didnt use the shotgun pass in seattle, do you think Zorn will use it in Washington? Becuase most of you probably know, zorn was a QB who didnt like to stay in the pocket, he scrabbeled, a lot.

Darn good question.
Without knowing too much about the Seattle offense, or Zorn, I would have to say because of Jason Campbell, yes I would think so. Campbell can move around but he's not a scrambler. He does have a nice deep pass though.

Anyone else think any different?

Cool Re: Zorn brings West Coast Offence to Washington

You have to be accurate short to succeed in this offense. Campbell is not very accurate. Didn't Zorn learn from Jim Mora? You just can't bring in an "offense." You have to suit it to the personnel.

Also, they don't really have the receivers for this offense. Santana Moss is not a "rout" runner. He's a go long type of guy.

49ers dont really seem to worry about suiting the personnel, why not the skins?

Yes, I do not see Campbell as a West Coast passer...good athlete...but not West Coast material

Re: Zorn brings West Coast Offence to Washington

Campbell isnt very accurate on short passes yet, but he's still young. What makes you think he wont develop accuracy?
Still, there's something to that idea of suiting the offense to the personnel and not just bringing in an offense.
