Its amazing that the excitement of having RG3 cant even spark this team. I just hope the Skins don't lul RG3 to sleep and make him like all the rest that have come here in recent years. This team will put his character to the test for sure.
As much as I love having RG3 in DC, I almost hate it. For his sake.
As long as RG3 survives the current regime I really think he'll be fine long term. His intelligence and skill-set are concrete, and he'll flourish within any decent system.

Neither to me. I shouldn't even have posted that.
No Goat, that was awesome. Didnt know the oil business was so strong in Colorado.
This place is comedy gold sometimes I swear.

Wade Phillips doesn't have our secondary. :D
Nope, he had a worse overall defense, and turned it around in one year. It's been done before, and will again, but not under anyone named Shanahan or Haslett.

I meant what people say is irrelavent. Results are what matter, and Mike's results are the joke.

[quote=Monkeydad;959265]Reload the secondary and see if Haslett can do the job. THEN make the decision. Remember, starting over with a new DC and/or scheme will not produce immediate success either. I think we need to see this 3-4 implementation completely through..meaning addressing all 11 positions on D.
Sorry, I'm too old and too smart for that! I want a win this week!
There are things he can do right now but he's too conservative to do them.
It's time to unleash a torrent of blitzes from everywhere on Carolina and see what happens.

Check his rankings. I bet you'll be surprised.
Denver Broncos Team Encyclopedia - Pro-Football-Reference.com (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/den/)
Contrary to popular opinion, the Broncos didn't win all because of Elway.
They had a top 10 D 7 times under him.
You're right Matty I was surprised. What else I find interesting is while Larry Coyer was DC from 2003-2006 his defenses were ranked 9-9-3-8 in points allowed but in the years without Coyer from the year 2000 the rankings are 23-21-15-28-30. Pretty bad. Don't know anything about Coyer but maybe Mike needs to bring him back. I'll admit I was wrong about Mike NEVER having a good defense. But without Coyer those were some pretty atrocious defenses.

I'm dead serious. If the Skins go down this week, I think they should go down swinging. I'm tired of the Skins defense sitting back in a zone and reacting to whatever the offense throws at them. I say we should smack the offense in the mouth first and cause them to make some mistakes.
The idea of waiting until next season to get better makes me sick.
If I were in Mike Shanahan's shoes, I'd tell Haslett to come up with some new ideas now. Last in the NFL in defense is unacceptable.
