Did Shanny Strip Haslett of Play Calling vs Rams?

Im Not nearly in the know as smootsmack and if they were recently signed to contract extensions than i can only assume snyder has bought vinny back into the fold.

The contract extension was also reported by the Wapo, maybe they got the story from profootballtalk?

Redskins give contract extensions to coaches Jim Haslett, Danny Smith (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2012/09/19/redskins-give-contract-extensions-to-coaches-jim-haslett-danny-smith/)

So crazy day - Haslett & Danny get extended (confirmed Haz to 2013/+ hefty raise), stupid death threats & Haz DID NOT get PC duties yanked

Didn't Danny Smith and Jim Haslett receive contract extensions like a year ago? Because, I don't see the logic in giving those coaches, yet, another contract extension after two blocked punts, no decent kick-off returns, and two games in which the defense gave up 30+ points. That just does not compute, so I'm calling BS on that part of the story.

I can, however, believe that Raheem Morris was brought in to replace Haslett by next year. And, it just might happen sooner than that if the 'skins defense is starting to take sides (Haslett VS Morris.) My personal opinion, I've never been very high on Haslett to begin with, but I do give him credit with improving the defense from his first year. Unfortunately, with the injuries starting to pile up, I don't see a continuation of improvement on the defensive side of the ball. However, it's just two games, so things may drastically change between now and by mid-season.

whether they get extentions or not, they still could be fired at a drop of a hat if their performance lags...non-story imo

Agreed! I don't see it being much of a factor regardless. If it is true, it was probably just something that was agreed upon several months ago.

I don't see the defense taking sides. Morris was brought in to help the weakest part of our team. The secondary. He's great at motivating his guys and they'll be loyal to him but they'll still understand that Haslett is the DC. I see Morris cheering on the offense and keeping his guys motivated while they're getting burnt...but he's also helping them play better than they really are, especially in Week 1.

We're in the 3rd year of the 3-4 and should see some strides this year barring any more devastating injuries like Kerrigan, Bowen, Cofield, Wilson, Hall or God forbid Fletcher.

I don't know why we're struggling so much other than our secondary is being exploited, but I don't see a mutiny happening.

No one, at least it seems to me, is pointing out that the Defense is directly responsible for 1 redskins touchdown in each game. I think that is worth some discussion as well

That, I give the players all the credit for making the big plays. It's not the players I'm concerned about.

Special teams canceled BOTH of those TDs out unfortunately.
