Sunday Night football on 10/17/10 at Fedex Field!The redskins take on the fearsome colts next week on sunday night football. At Great Atlantic Travel we specialize in Redskins travel Check out our available packages for this game and go see it live.With Clinton Portis out for a few weeks or longer and new running back Ryan Torrain in the back field, the Redskins may have a new hope for a running back. hes a quick guy and can break tackles pretty regularly. This will be a good test for Washington's defense to see what they are made of. The colts are ranked 2nd in points at 29.2, 3rd in yards gained at 411, 2nd in passing yards at 335, but their only offensive weakness is their running game ranked 29th in the league with only 75 yards per game. Peyton manning of course makes up for this when he goes into beast mode! However on Defense the colts are ranked very poor in Rushing yards (ranked 29th at allowing 150 yards per game) watch carefully to see if Ryan Torrain can be the new Redskins go to back!

Redskins - 13
Cowboys - 7

Well it turned out to be a terrific sports weekend with great sports on tv as well as big sports news. The Redskins have hired their offensive coordiantor of one week Jim Zorn to be their 27th head coach. This seems to be a desperate hire after being turned down. I saw his press conference and I can't help to notice how this guy seems like a nice guy who is a great speaker even though he didn't know the teams official colors. Sure he has never been a head coach, nor an offensive coordiantor, or has ever called a play. What he has done is shape Matt Hasselbeck up to be one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL on a consistent basis. Jason Campbell will be learning his third offensive system but this variation of the West Coast offense has done wonders with good qb's making them great and I think that is what will happen for Campbell as Zorn will be hands on with him since as Jason goes, so will his career as the coach of the Redskins. After all said and done I like this hire and I point to the fact that this is completely different than what Snyder has been doing (making a big splash with previous hires) and maybe that is what we need. Also look in Green Bay where their coach Mike McCarthy led his team to his 13-3 record in his second season, or Eagles coach Andy Reid who brought the Eagles to 4 consecutive NFC Championship games as well as only having 3 losing seasons since being hired in 1999. Both of these coaches were releatively unknown quarterback coaches - just like Zorn. Zorn will get his first chance to show what he can do with a promising Washington Redskins playoff team in the league's first preseason game which will be the Hall of Fame Game against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts on August 3rd in Canton, Ohio. This looks to be a terrific weekend for all of the Redskins faithful as Great Atlantic Travel will set you up so you can see Redskins greats Darrell Green and Art Monk (FINALLY!) get inducted in to the NFL Hall of Fame. Its only a preseason game, but it will be in high demand as the first game in the Post-Gibbs era as well as the huge Redskins following that is sure to show up. Don't delay as we will have packages and tickets available, especially when the stadium seats only about 20,000 fans, approximately 70,000 less than FedEx Field and against the high powered offense of Peyton Manning and the Colts.  Any Redskin fan who bleeds burgandy and gold would want to be in Canton for this once in a lifetime experience with a professional package made easy! 

It was late Saturday night when i tried to go to sleep for the night when i heard the Redskins hired a new coach.  Finally,  it has finally happened after all these weeks.  I do  not know much about Jim Zorn but if he was the a coach for the Seahawks it cannot be all that bad.  Best of luck to the Redskins and a winng season.
