Redskins Players Discuss Zorn, Say Team Has ‘No Identity’

Washington players were available to the media this morning on the heels of one of the worst losses in franchise history.

Some highlights from The Washington Times:

“We’re not even talking about the coach’s job security, you guys are,” veteran DE Phillip Daniels said. “I didn’t hear anything about Coach Zorn’s job after the game. I never thought he was in jeopardy. I just thought we had some situations where we could have made more plays and didn’t do it.”

CB Carlos Rogers said the Redskins are a team without an identity right now but said firing Zorn isn’t the right move.

“What’s that going to do? Make the team better? Who’s going to be the head coach?” Rogers said. “He has a lot of stuff on his plate to worry about and control this team. A lot of us are still here for him, I think.

“We don’t have an identity. I don’t know what we’re going to be on offense, I don’t know what we’re going to be on defense. Until we establish ourselves as a whole group, that’s when things will work out better for everybody.”

Some pretty telling comments from Carlos Rogers. Chris Cooley, on the other hand, is a company man:

“Coach Zorn is our coach,” Cooley said. “We have complete faith in what he’s doing, the scheme that we’re running and the way that we do things here. There’s nothing for me to say, anything about his job or his job security.

“He’s an outstanding coach. I think he’s a great guy and I enjoy playing football for him.”

Zorn is speaking to the media now. More updates to come with his comments.
