I can appreciate Haslett's aggressiveness, but we have to be smart about it. That kind of blitzing against one of the premier passing attacks in the league is obviously not too smart.

I want to clarify that I was speaking in general terms about the rushing four, dropping seven stunts. I might find soon that we actually ended up unnecessarily aggressive vs. the Texans when we needed to make them throw underneath. Still have to watch the second half to know for sure.
If you're rushing 6 in 3rd and 13, that's Blache level stuff. Just because Haslett is someone new wouldn't make it defensible. Just play coverage and go make the tackle.
