Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

maybe Anthony Montgomery

That was my choice as well

The Redskins have consistently been a top 10 defense for the past few years. Personally, I'd take a top 15 defense with more red zone stops and less big plays over 30 yards.



i agree that we gave up a good bit of big plays, but i thought we were top 5 if not no. 1 in redzone defense?

So we let em' score from 21 yards or more out alot huh?

That's what I was gonna say. They either scored way before they got to the redzone or settled for a FG. Either way, they scored when we needed a stop.

Scoring defense we ranked 18th. F' yardage stats.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Over and above any concerns we may have regarding the addition of Jim Haslett to the Redskins' coaching staff, we need to be mindful of the less fortunate.


How will the UFL survive once Jim Haslett leaves? Think of all the sad Florida Tusker fans today... :pffff:

Field goals against, we were second worst (31 scored against us).

Sometimes I think we place way too much emphasis on defensive rankings. Where this guy's defense was ranked, how well he did with that defense. The Redskins have consistently been a top 10 defense for the past few years. Personally, I'd take a top 15 defense with more red zone stops and less big plays over 30 yards.

That has been my biggest bone to pick with Blache's and Gregg Williams defense; we gave up momentum killing plays at the most inopportune times. If Haslett can correct that one area, I don't care if we sacrafice a few slots in total yards, but end up with a defense that plays consistently well from start to finish.

One reason for giving up big plays at inopportune time is that any time a team scored on us it was either to extend their lead or to take the lead. Our O never scores enough points to give the D any room for error.

No Blache doesn't suck but a change was obviously needed.

By the way the poll results suck, that's why I usually don't toss in a "on the fence" option.

He may have been a little gruff and set in his ways, but "suck" would be an unfair way to characterize him.

True. And I realize they both go hand in hand, but it's disheartening and a bit deceiving to put up stout defensive numbers only to give up a gut wrenching touchdown with little time left on the clock.

Ironically one of the worst of the calls of the year, in my opinion, happened at the end of the Chargers game when we allow them to chew so much time off the clock instead of simply letting them score when they had the ball at the goal line.

I won't be missing Greg Blache, that's for sure.
