  • Lewis to call plays for Zorn’s Redskins (AP)

    FILE -- This is an Oct. 18, 2009, file photo showing Washington Redskins offensive consultant  Sherman Lewis watching his team warmup before an NFL football game against the Kansas City Chiefs, in Landover, Md. Sherman Lewis is taking Jim Zorn's favorite duty. The Washington Redskins said Monday, Oct. 19, 2009,  that Lewis will take over the play calling for an offense that is averaging only 13.2 points per game.

    Bingo! You're not calling plays anymore, Jim Zorn. Sherm Lewis is coming out of retirement to do it for you. With a pained expression, Washington Redskins coach Zorn announced Monday that the front office "strongly suggested" that he yield his play-calling duties to a consultant hired only two weeks ago.
