Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

Defensewins · 01-13-2010, 08:12 PM

Since some have hi-jacked this thread into the Haynesworthy thread....I would like to say I am a bit unimpressed with Haslett, but I will support him and give him every chance to prove himself. The defense has a ton of good talent that was not nurtured and used correctly. I was not a big fan of Blache and his bend but dont break style. I particularly did not like how he handled his safety's and LB's, in particular how terrible they were at disguising the blitz.

JLC just said on NFL Network that Haynesworth & Shanny might bump heads when it comes to the 3-4 defense.

f*** Haynesworth, he needs to shut the hell up and be happy with his massive contract and play his fat ass off...on a lighter note, I'm pretty happy just to have someone established on the payroll as the defensive coordinator

I just don't get the hate. AH came and played as his previous years had shown he would. When we were stuffing the Giants in the first game on 3rd and 4th down, He was one of the main reasons.
I am glad to see alot of the staff coming together now, and maybe Shanahan will have the whole staff together in the next few days, that would be a good thing right off the bat.

I'm fine with Haslett. To me, he or Zimmer, or Crennel, (basically the other only guys I heard that were in the running) would have been fine too.

Apart from not wanting anyone from the current staff to stay, I didn't really have a favorite for D-coordinator.

DBUCHANON101 · 01-13-2010, 10:26 PM

AH better get used to the words Nose Tackle. I do like the idea of RAK at OLB. I doubt Fletcher makes a good transition to the 3-4. if the Skins didnt need Oline so badly id say they should go after the ILB from Bama. McClain i believe is his name.
at this point any need adressed is an improvement. take the best available.

DBUCHANON101 · 01-13-2010, 10:27 PM

oops, missed a D

Who cares. The Defense was worse this year than it was last year. The best teams in the league don't chase after the most expensive free agent each year. It never works. They could have spent that money on 4 players.

big al needs to suck it up and do his job.

CRedskinsRule · 01-13-2010, 11:02 PM

44Deezel, i agree the d was worse. but dont hate on AH for doing his job, i would say hate the mindset thst leads to that type of contract. That is what everyone wants to see change.

The giants chose the get 4 for the price of one with canty, boley and a couple others all lesser talents than big al. how did that work out for them?

our d front line was better with big al, our back7 with hall instead of springs - not so much.

bottomline hopefully Haslett uses our players to their strength.

I agree, for the $$ AH is pullin if the Skins ask him to play DB he'd better do it with a smile.

The more I read into Haslett's career, Mike's history w/ coaches and our current defensive roster, I tend to believe Haslett won't be very successful and won't last long. Mike doesn't seem to know enough about defense to match a great defensive mind w/ best fit players. Typically he's bounced all over the place w/ one DC to the next, all the while playing the dominant role in drafting guys. Result: you don't get a consistent system defensive players grow into nor do you get defensive studs a great defensive mind can envision doing a certain number of things on the field.

For those who say Williams single-handedly turned NO into a dominant defense, I think Darren Sharper may wish to disagree. Without him Williams' defense is rather mediocre. The same goes when Ellis cannot be dominant in the middle. Somebody in NO was brilliant in bringing Sharper in (maybe it was Gregg). There's little evidence Haslett knows who he "needs" to make a great defense. There's even less evidence Mike knows what his DC needs to make it happen.
