Campbell, Zorn uncertain as to what the future holds
SAN DIEGO -- The quarterback and the head coach -- at least in title and at least for a few more hours -- walked through the concrete tunnel, two of the last members of the Redskins to exit Qualcomm Stadium.
Jason Campbell walked alone and 20 feet behind Jim Zorn, with a couple of team employees at either side. Zorn stepped in silence, his eyes cast at the ground in front of him. The coach's fate was all but sealed. The quarterback's, though, not quite as certain.
'I don't know what's going to happen,' Campbell said following the Redskins' 23-20 loss to the Chargers, in what amounted to the final game of the 2009 season, the final game of Zorn's tenure as head coach and quite possibly the final game of Campbell's run as Washington's starting quarterback.

Jim Zorn knew his status as head coach of the Washington Redskins was tenuous back when his team was 1-1 - and coming off a victory, no less.
I know I am going to get blasted for some of my ideas but with the way the team is playing, we seem have found a chemistry.

Players are stunned but say a change was needed
In what had already been a tumultuous season for the Washington Redskins, players walked into Redskins Park on Thursday morning and were met with news of yet another major shakeup within the organization: Vinny Cerrato, the executive vice president of football operations, had resigned and would be replaced immediately by former Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen.
The change came as a surprise to those in the locker room, many of whom said they did not believe Cerrato would ever step down, and was met with varied reactions -- including some players who appeared to openly welcome the move.

Redskins have had enough of late letdowns
Long gone is the sentiment that the Washington Redskins' defense would need to bail out the team's anemic offense if Washington was to win many games. In each of the past three weeks, quarterback Jason Campbell and the offense built fourth-quarter leads, only to watch on the sideline as the defense took the field and relinquished them.
Statistically, the defensive unit is still one of the league's best, but late in games it has given up big plays and long drives that have cost the Redskins potential wins against playoff-caliber teams.
Redskins' Landry not quick to tackle issues
