[quote=Mattyk;741150]I would say he doesn't want to play 2 gap.

The guy is clearly talented enough to do pretty much anything he's asked to do.[/quote]I'll point out that even though I believe they can still get Haynesworth up to speed and playing well in this defense, he's been a major liability when he's played so far with one exception: the goal line package.

[quote=Mattyk;741201]Unless there's a solid plan B option in place, which there doesn't seem to be, I can't see why we would let McNabb go. Unless of course they determine he's just not going to work out here, but the likelihood of that doesn't seem very great.[/quote]

for what we paid for McNabb I would be furious as hell to let him go after one year

Yup, letting him go just doesn't make sense for a variety of reasons.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

Why would any reasonably intelligent person let McNabb go unless they have Aaron Rodgers in the wings? The idea of not brining McNabb back is idiotic.

I was upset for most of the game but I was livid when they took Albert out on 4th and 1.

That is like taking Joe Montana out for the two minute drill.

[quote=Beemnseven;740142]I assume this is sarcasm, right?

If not, what makes you so sure we are that much better than the Rams?

Over the next few weeks, when the shellacking the Redskins are going to take starts happening against Philly, Green Bay and Indy -- we're going to look back on that Cowboys victory and wonder how it ever happened.

It's only going to get even more ugly...[/quote]

Care to revisit this thought? :)

[quote=Ruhskins;739734]Sorry dude, I never trusted this whole switch to the 3-4. I mean, how the hell can you beat anyone after getting beat by the Rams? Here's the rest of our schedule...

@ Eagles (L)
vs. Green Bay (L)
vs. Indy (L)
@ Bears (L)
@ Detroit (??)

We could easily be 1-6 or 2-5 by the bye week.[/quote]

My what a difference a few weeks makes huh

[quote=skinsfaninok;739763]Bottom line folks....

When you can't stop the run and when you can't run the football, you won't win many games in this league.

Dallas will win the east at 10-6
Philly 8-8
Skins 6-10
Giants 5-11[/quote]

lol

Sorry, just having fun reading through some of these old posts

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

lol....good reminder of how some Skins fans unknowingly support the previous bonehead administration led by Vinny..... by being ready to scrap an idea before it has a chance to pan out....we are still in year one of the Allen/Shanahan era which will get us to Super Bowl in 3-4 years

nows not the time to be laughing at a couple week old post,were a little giddy after 2 wins in a row.When the season is almost finished and these records look foolish would be the time to reflect,not now.We could just as easy be 0-5 right now,we could{and should have}be 4-1 also,its just too early to tell.
By the way,how many games did the cards win at the end to be known as the Cardiac Kids? Weve had 4out of 5 games decided on the last fricking play,when has that ever happened in the NFL? and i'm afraid were in for more of the same,I cant see us blowing out anybody,were going to have to fight tooth and nail

A few weeks ago you would have thought the season was over, sorry but these posts are definitely amusing. It's a long season.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

I'm fairly sure I've gotten it from you about "I told you so" posts.

For what it's worth, I correctly picked the Skins to beat the Packers in my football pool last week.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

Nah man its really not about that. I hate that stuff along with pat myself on the back posts. Like I said, a few weeks ago things were so dire around here I just thought it was worth pointing out that all is not lost even after a disappointing loss. Still plenty of football to go, that's all.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

Before the onslaught, I DO NOT wish to get rid of JH. He's doing a good job.
Anybody see any way to absorb Wade Phillips in a useful position with the Skins without rocking the boat? That is after Big d dumps him..........

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

why does everyone want Wade Philips, he was a good DC, but look at His defense now with the Cowboys, they give up as big, if not bigger plays with just as good, if not better 3-4 players.

Hasletts gotten better, but I would like to see him not show his positioning of whose guarding who on certain plays, and for him to move players around and not show who is covering who until the center snaps the ball.

I would have definitely taken WP before he became th cowpokes HC. Now he's dead to me.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

Wade Phillips to me personifies the talented but sloppy team. I've had enough of guys playing fast and loose, what I want is precision and execution.

Which we're finally getting. A major reason why we're winning games we would have lost a year ago, are less penalized this year, are successfully completing game-winning drives, etc.

The Cowboys choke because their coach is not a closer. No thanks, I'd rather not have that guy anywhere near our coaching staff :)

The Green Bay gameday thread was hilarious, reading the next day.


They're always a riot. Our members are cliff-jumpers during the game. If you read those thread not knowing the final score...you'd think we lost 88-0.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

As a big opponent of 3-4, I must say that I like some 4-3 looks that Haslett has thrown into the mix. I overreact in a negative manner, but I'm always happy to be proven wrong.

ROTFLMAO!!!! Your sooo right!!!! And i was on of them leading the bash train!!! I just hope Hasslett keeps proving me wrong!!!! But that first half we should have been down by atleast 21 !!!

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

I agree with your post Ruh.

I have been a big non believer in the new defense. But Haslett is making some nice changes and I am becoming a believer in his adjustments.

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

Our biggest holes are on the d-line i think we need a solid nose-guard. I think that Chris Wilson is the key next year i believe he is gonna develop into one of the gnarlyiest pass-rushers in the league. I also believe that Lorenzo alexander will flourish at the lolb spot. I think he will lose some weight and fit perfect into the scheme behind Andre Carter. To our defense as a whole we have some key players we just have to develop their already strong skill sets to fit the mold of what hasletts trying to do. I think in the 2011 season our defense will be a force. We Just need Noseguard and some more depth at all four lb spots.

I don't really see a problem with our secondary that more reps can't fix i think our secondary is the strongest part of the team. With that said we were getting shreded through the air the 1st 4 weeks of the season but any QB (sam Bradford included) can hit an nfl reciever if he has 6 seconds to throw the ball even though the defense is blitzing leaving holes in the coverage.

Hail!!!

I honestly feel that if Haslett had taken the approach of easing the team into the 3-4, with modified 4-3 looks, we may have fared better defensively. But I do give the team props for modifying things and they seem to be playing to our strength.
