NFL Monday Night Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles -7 at Washington Redskins

A massive train wreck is about to happen in DC this evening. Sherman Lewis gets his shot at play calling tonight in an attempt to shake up the inept Redskins offense.  Lewis was last found calling bingo games at a senior center. The Redskins do have the oldest roster in the NFL, so I can see why Redskins executives would think that Sherm's recent experience is relevant.  This coordinator change reminds me of when Al Davis hired Tom Walsh to run the Raiders offense. Walsh was running a bed and breakfast in Idaho before he took on the role of offensive coordinator.

In football, it is really more about executing the plays than the actual play calling. The Redskins simply don't have the talent on offense to score a lot of points. When your tight end is the best and most consistent weapon on offense, you know that you are in trouble. The Eagles did have trouble covering Zach Miller of the Raiders last weekend, but they quickly went out and acquired Will Witherspoon to fill in for the injured Omar Gaither at linebacker.

We clipped some video from today's Sports Junkie show on the Fan 106.7.  The commentary is great and not much different from my viewpoint on tonight's game. My favorite part of this video is watching Jim Zorn bouncing the football into his groin area!
How often to you see NFL head coaches goofing around like that?



If you interested in purchasing one of those "Worst Owner Ever" t-shirts that the crew is wearing, I was able to find the t-shirts here.
