Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

And I thought we were going to win the Super Bowl next year (: . Hope they stick with the 4-3 for now .

good hire. haslett is just what the defense needs. a former player who's a hard ass and won't coddle landry, haynesworth and hall. and why is everyone crying about the 3-4? did any of the coaches say they were switching the defense? people need to relax.

But if we did switch to a 3-4....Peppers anyone?

Seriously though I think we won't be using the 3-4 with the regularity some are concerned we will

They are not retarded, they aren't just gonna switch Def schemes without having the correct pieces in place. I like Hasslet, he seems to be a no nonsense kind of dude who should keep the players working hard, and the word aggresive makes me tingle.

I think we're going to give 3-4 looks but I really don't think we're going 3-4 full-time

I agree with SmootSmack. I don't see us going strictly 3-4 right away.

I didn't like this move at all. We shouldn't fart around with a 3-4 with a pissed off 4-3 dominating DT who wants to blow up his stats and not be a space eater. Also to be fair, haslett really hasn't had a lot of dominating Defensive players to my knowledge. I don't know if Greg lloyd played when he was DC in Pittsburgh. In New Orleans I can't think of any star defensive players except mike mckenzie when he was in his prime. when he was in St. Louis he had OJ Atogwe and Will Witherspoon and a rookie chris long. So maybe he can do something with some of our 'talent' on D. But thats the closest thing I have to a positive thought on us getting Haslett.

With the players we have, I dont think we go to a 3-4 next year... our defensive line is actually one of our strong points... so I would think if they were going 3-4, It would be Carter, Haynesworth and Jarmon, with Orkapo moved back to LB... and I'd really like to see him more at DE... than McIntosh, Fletcher and then we'd have to bring someone else in I'd think?

I'm very intersted to see how this works out...

Either way, I'm a fan of Hasletts, I think its a good move and I continue to really like the people who are being brought in right now and I think its a big step in the right direction for the organization...

I think it will probably be some type of mix.

I really hope it's a hybrid 3-4/4-3 type D, like the Cardinals defense from they're super bowl year. Plus wouldn't that be a good test for shanahan to see if he really wants to go that route or not.
