Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

Funny how u have forgotten all about Chris Horton:doh:
what about him?

No but all reports do

Sources: Washington Redskins hire Jim Haslett to lead defense - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4820872)
They haven't even talked to Haslett yet; he's run the 4-3 as well. We'll see..

I'm definitely wondering what this move was made for though.. I mean Haslett couldn't get another NFL job, at least not one he was willing to take.. not even a DC spot anywhere that he could've landed?

i think with 3 4 defense, defense will only get better

Guys I know this sounds crazy but take this for a thought...3-4 and 4-3 Jims used both.....Jim is probably going to run both!

It wouldn't shock me one bit if Haynesworth is traded.

they will not pay him 40 million for one season cap or no cap and that is what would happen.

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

Agreed. Man we sure don't jump to conclusions around here huh? One hire and we're changing to the 3-4 and getting rid of Haynesworth?

I really have no strong feelings in either direction on this hire. Yeah he's had some mediocre rankings recently but I think you have to consider the teams and the talent he was coaching at the time. Nobody in the know seems to dispute that he's a solid defensive mind, so I'm willing to be open to what he may bring to the table. At the least, he should be more aggressive and inventive with his schemes than Blache was.

I don't know why ppl keep focusing on Haslett's record as a HC. He ran a good defense for three seasons in Pittsburgh (top 15) before becoming the Saints HC. Grilliams was a pretty bad HC in Buffalo and Spags has had a rough time in St. Louis, but they are both really good DCs. Ppl need to chill the F out and see how things work out.

dont like the move, he past defenses werent that great....

He has never played a NT, and he has made it clear that he wants to rush the passer

I could see big Al moving to DE in a 3-4 alignment, he loves to rush the passer.

Daseal spoke about Vince Wilfork, I wish there was a way we could pry him away from NE. I wanted us to draft him the year he came in. He was on the board at our selection.
