His defense was nothing to speak of. Then he got the job with the Rams and their defense slowly slipped down the ranks. Perhaps there were reasons other then him.

Keep in mind that the Rams were ranked 29th in total defense last year while giving up 27.3 PPG so technically they got worse after Haslett left. Still all of us know that Spags is a proven defensive guy so it's not like he doesn't have the know how to coordinate a successful defense. Clearly St. Louis has a talent problem.
