Their offense languishing, unable to make much headway even against the NFL's worst defenses, the Washington Redskins called in some help Tuesday for coach Jim Zorn.

They also made sure to point out, at least publicly, that they don't consider the new employee to be Zorn's replacement-in-waiting.

The Redskins hired longtime NFL assistant Sherman Lewis as an offensive consultant, offering a "fresh set of eyes" to a team that ranks 27th in the league in scoring.

Lewis has coached for 22 years in the NFL and once was a candidate for head coaching jobs, but the Redskins attempted quickly to quell speculation that he was brought in as a handy replacement for Zorn if the team continues to struggle. In the posting on the team Web site announcing the move, executive vice president for football operations Vinny Cerrato was quoted as saying, "it's not a threat at all" to Zorn's job security.

Nothing changes," Cerrato said in a conference call with reporters. "Jim's still calling plays. Everybody's still doing what they're doing. It's just another fresh set of eyes."

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
