I don’t usually post crap like this, but this was too funny to pass up. Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has his own blog. Good for him. In a recent post, he inadvisably captured a couple photos of the Redskins playbook and head coach Jim Zorn understandably wasn’t happy about it. Nevermind that Chris was apparently naked when he took the pictures because a certain part of his anatomy was visible (Hint: he had the playbook in his lap when he took the pics). What a weirdo. Or he’s just really stupid. Actually, it might be both. Anyway, continuing with my story — coach Zorn said his first thought was to make a team-wide statement stressing common sense. Yes, common sense. The lessons to be learned here are:
- Don’t take pictures of your playbook and post them on the internet.
- Don’t take pictures of your playbook and post them on the internet while you’re not wearing any clothes.
Just for fun, here are some of the questions a Washington Redskins coach might ask his tight ends before a game against the New Orleans Saints:
- Briefly describe the play of their defensive ends.
- Do they match our personnel on 1st and 2nd down when we go Zebra?
- Who are their two starting safeties in Regular and Tiger personnel?
- Do the safeties change in Nickel? If so, who comes in?
- Which linebacker comes out of the game if they sub to Nickel personnel?
- 1st and 2nd down blitzes — they like to blitz from what side of the defense?
I’m not sure how Chris graded on the test, but he did catch five passes for 72 yards in a 29-24 win over the Saints. And he apologized for the pics.
