Ever watch those History Channel programs on the last hours in the bunker in Berlin during WWII?
Sadly the same bunker mentality has hit the Redskins since the shock of pending changes went from rumored to real.
Zorn in a nod to insanity continues to have Jason Campbell line up under center on obvious passing downs even though he knows the OL is challenged to hold blocks for even a three step drop.
But do we see a team come out in the second half in shotgun, pressing the defense?
No, Zorn had already sent up the white flag by refusing to go for first downs, instead opting to punt back to Dallas repeatedly in the hope the Cowboys would take pity on the Redskins, run the ball and keep the score down - which they did.
But Zorn was not going to do anything to lift the Redskins at home.
Resigned to his fate, Zorn assumed the role of casual observer.
Ditto for Greg Blache.
Blache could have taken the last several games to put Orakpo at DE with Daniels and Carter suffering biceps tears. He could have moved Landry to strong safety and perhaps avoided some of the long pass plays completed in recent weeks on #30, who has clearly lost confidence at FS.
But these moves would show that Blache was still engaged.
Like Zorn he seems mesmerized by the size of the failure and can now only take pride in going down with the ship maintaining it wasn't all his fault.
To change anything after Allen was hired would be to admit there were other options than those already taken.
This team is now where the Miami Dolphins were before Parcells arrived.
A team with no leaders, a coach playing out the string after not being able to captain the ship adequately, and an organization readying itself for massive changes.
In the end Zorn and Blache are not bad people, just individuals not capable of seeing the world as it is, in shades of gray.
No plan or schemeb is or should ever be set in stone when talent and circumstances point up deficiencies in one's approach.
