Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!

We should just call this the panic thread.

Please, do tell me what hope do you have of Vick, Rodgers, Manning, Cutler, and Favre not roasting the defense?

Not to mention we face Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, and Maurice Jones Drew as well.

Yup no hope. I see zero improvement the rest of the way.

Because we came out exceptionally flat last week. That won't happen every week.

Yup no hope. I see zero improvement the rest of the way.

lolololololololololol...fire and cut everyone

Do tell me what exactly Golston, Holliday, Carter, Kemo, AH, etc are going to improve in? They've hit their primes or are past it. Any improvement will be small and not matter much.

Everyone is capable of improving in this scheme. They were all capable players a year ago, once they get more comfortable in this system I definitely expect an overall improvement from the D.

He doesn't have his NT play "laterally" all the damn time. He's more competent than Haslett.

that mos def is arguable...dude has probably the most talented roster in the NFL and cant do sh*t with it cept make funny facial expression on the sidelines. I know one thing, I wouldnt want to make Haslett mad, that guy looks like he could kick some major a$$.

Need I remind you of a man named Brian Stewart? After he got canned and Tubby officially took over playcalling of the 2008 Cowboys D, they got "nastier" and finished the season with a ton of sacks. They've stymied the Skins'(and many other) offenses ever since.

He also helped improve the Chargers' defense. In 2003, before he got there, the Chargers were 27th in yards allowed. By 2006, they were 10th in yards allowed. In the years inbetween, their rankings increased.

In contrast, when Haslett took over a top tier defense in Pittsburgh, their rankings declined every year right up until the year he left.
