An interesting press conference today, as Zorn sighed several times while reviewing his offensive stats from the past weeks. Among the tidbits was that only two other teams, the Bengals and Lions, haven’t put up 30 points in a game this season. Zorn said the answer is certainly not in benching quarterback Jason Campbell, but might be in simplifying things.

“He’s not totally failing,“ Zorn said. “I’m putting him in some advanced situations really because of what we’re talking about here. There is that balance there, and I probably have tipped the scales. Those are things you find out as you go along. I’m trying to push him, and maybe I take a step back.“

And of course here’s the Redskins injury report, straight from Zorn:

“Andre Carter actually came out of the game pretty good. He’s got a sore foot, but it didn’t get any worse. London Fletcher is the same but he still has the same swelling he had last week. We’ve got him in a boot to isolate it, then we’ll get him ready for next Sunday.

“Clinton has a real stiff neck. He got popped in the side of the head. I haven’t talked to him yet this morning, but he’s real sore.

“Cornelius Griffin came out of it OK. Chris Samuels - his knee got worse and worse as the game went on, but he hung in there and did a pretty good job.

“Shawn Springs has a little strain again in that calf. He kind of reinjured it. That will be a daily thing. Marcus Washington’s ankle is coming along but he probably won’t be out there this week. Kedric Golston might be able to go this week.

“Jason Campbell had a fingernail nearly get knocked off his finger on his throwing hand, but that’s just about it.

“Tomorrow will be a real sore day for all these days. I always say that Tuesday is the worst day, then by Wednesday they’ve got to start making back it a little bit.“

Zorn added that he feels the Redskins have an urgent need to improve the pass game.

“We haven’t reached that elite status of a team,“ he said. “It doesn’t mean we’re not good. It just means we’re one of those teams that didn’t separate. I think we’re battling. We haven’t lost heart. We haven’t lost hope of putting a good game together, and it really has been on the offensive passing game side.“
