Zorn comes to Washington following a seven-year stay in Seattle as Mike Holmgren's quarterback coach. During his tenure with the Seahawks he oversaw the development of signal caller Matt Hasselbeck, who joined the franchise the same season Zorn was hired. Under Zorn's tutelage Hasselbeck enjoyed much success during the past seven seasons, having been selected to the 2003, 2005, and 2007 NFC Pro-Bowl teams.

Prior to joining Holmgren's staff Zorn spent three years in Detroit working with a young Charlie Batch. Batch showed promise during his first two seasons with the Lions, but failed to develop into the starter they envisioned after using a second round pick on him during the 1998 draft. A year after Zorn's departure Detroit parted ways with Batch and drafted Joey Harrington with the third overall pick in 2002.

Zorn's time in Seattle under Holmgren wasn't his first coaching tenure with the team. His first stint came in 1997 as an offensive assistant on Craig Erickson's staff. It was his first year coaching at the pro level. He also played in the NFL for eleven seasons, nine of which were spent as a Seahawks quarterback from 1976-1984, most in which he started.

Sherman Smith, hired as Zorn's offensive coordinator, is a teammate of his from their playing days in Seattle. Smith lined up at running back for the Seahawks from 1976-1982 with Zorn under center. For the past thirteen seasons he has served as Jeff Fisher's running back coach with the Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers. He has also held the title of assistant head coach the past two years.

Zorn's Impact On The Offense:

Quarterbacks: Jason Campbell; Todd Collins; Colt Brennan

Following Zorn to Washington will be his version of the west coast offense. It's a system that relies on the quarterback making quick reads and releasing the ball in a timely manner. Jason Campbell will have to learn this system throughout the off-season and it will be a work in progress for him during the year.

According to Zorn, getting Campbell acclimated to his offense will be a matter of speeding him up. He wants his quarterback to be less deliberate with his decision making and to move through his progressions quicker than he has in the past.

Given this is Campbell's first year in the system, the personnel he is surrounded by, and his past performances, one shouldn't expect too much from the Redskins quarterback in fantasy leagues this year. He'll likely throw for 3000-3200 yards with 14-17 touchdown passes.

Running Backs: Clinton Portis; Ladell Betts; Mike Sellers (FB); Rock Cartwright (FB)

Zorn has already spoken about how thrilled he is to come to a team with Clinton Portis in its backfield. He's excited to have a back that can stay in on every down, so that there won't be a rotation at the position like he had become used to during his recent years with the Seahawks. With that in mind, you can be certain Portis will get a heavy workload again in Washington.

With Sherman Smith around as an offensive coordinator, a man that coached Eddie George throughout his career with the Titans, it can't be a bad thing for Portis' prospects. After carrying the ball 325 times last year, Portis is a fair bet to receive a similar workload in 2008. If the offensive line remains healthy, something it was unable to do last season, then Portis should improve upon his 3.9 ypc of a year ago and finish with 1300-1400 yards rushing. He'll also be in position to reach double-digits in touchdowns for the fifth time in his career while finishing the season with 45-55 receptions.

Wide Receivers: Santana Moss; Antwaan Randle El; Devin Thomas; James Thrash; Malcolm Kelly

With the Redskins selection of wide receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly in the second round of this years draft, things don't bode well for the likes of Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle El. In Randle El's case, he'll have a difficult time holding onto his starting position throughout the entire season. While Moss should continue as the lead receiver in 2008, his tenure beyond that will be questionable.

Regardless, the Redskins passing game under Zorn will be predicated on spreading the ball to multiple targets, meaning no single receiver may truly stand out. Moss will be in position to finish with numbers similar to those he posted last season (61 receptions, 808 yards, 3 touchdowns), while Randle El is likely to see a decline in production and finish with 40-45 receptions, 550-650 yards, and 1-3 end zone visits.

If Jason Campbell can make things click often enough his first year in Zorn's system, then Devin Thomas may be able to haul in 30-35 passes of his own this season. It's unlikely he'll have a major impact beyond that in fantasy leagues however, unless he supplants Randle El as a starter. That said, both Thomas and Kelly will be worth keeping an eye on leading up to the season to see what type of impression they make on the coaching staff.

Tight Ends: Chris Cooley; Todd Yoder; Fred Davis; Tyler Ecker

Even though there is a new offensive system in place, Cooley should have no trouble reaching the marks he has averaged over the past three seasons (65 receptions, 765 yards, 7 touchdowns). In fact, one could argue Cooley will be the biggest benefactor from the change and reach career highs for himself across the board in 2008.

Second round pick Fred Davis may see some playing time, but is unlikely to make a meaningful impact in fantasy leagues as a rookie.
