Riley is a bigger coverage liability than Orakpo? I don't think so.
Never said that he wasn't but to get our best guys on the field you would have to use Orakpo in a similar capacity to the way Blache used him his rookie year. I just wanted to take the opportunity to point out that Riley has been bad in coverage this year though it's not entirely his fault as he's been matched up against guys he shouldn't be covering on a somewhat regular basis.

Fred Smoot calls Jim Haslett ‘pig-headed’ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2012/10/29/fred-smoot-calls-jim-haslett-pig-headed/)
Smoot has always blamed the coaches for everything. His post game analysis is pretty annoying to be honest.

Reminds me of how Zorn was trying to learn the WCO and coach it at the same time.
The similarities between this regime and the Cerrato/Zorn regime (if you could call it that) are pretty mind-blowing.
1) Big FA signings that don't make sense, and don't have any impact. Cerrato/Zorn became infamous for Fat Albert. BA/Shanny, on the other hand, signed a handful of players that altogether add up to more than the Haynesworth contract, and have made even less impact. The difference being this regime is given a pass by most of the fan base, at least up to this point.
2) Bizarre play-calling and play-design, that some try to explain as genius now, whereas Zorn took a ton of shit for it.
3) Poor discipline and preparation, as evidenced in two games already where players just lost it (St. Louis and Pittsburgh).
They're eerily similar side by side, but again this regime is constantly given the benefit of the doubt despite results as poor as Zorn achieved.

A prick is what the Redskins need, not a Boy Scout.
They need someone who can bring discipline, not a prick. We already have one playing CB.

I think Haslett should get at least five years. It takes time to build a defense. Some of you bozos want to blow everything up because of three bad years. That's horrible! We've had no continuity in the coaching staff. Shanahan said it would take 5 years to rebuild. Lets wait until at least 2014, then revisit this.

I voted no but if he's lost Fletcher, Alexander and other players than it probably is time to go. I don't think in-season is the time though. The Eagles showed that firing a DC mid-season doesn't make for a quick fix.
Riveria sounded like he expected to be on the way out during a radio interview last week and that was before another loss. IMO he's auditioning for other teams the rest of the year.
As for offseason replacement I'd like Riveria, Greg Manusky or Keith Butler. All guys with 3-4 experience. IMO a switch back to 4-3 would mean another overhaul of the front 7.

You are absolutely correct. The last thing this organization needs is another change.
