Re: Jim Haslett's inconsist defense

The problem with run oriented QB's like Webb, Newton and Vick against the Skins D is the lack of back end speed. None of the safeties are fast enough to get to them and the front seven are all aggressively going for a sack instead of contain. They didn't practice against an option for months (if at all) and when Webb came in they needed to completely throw out the gameplan and start over. Ponder and Peterson were shut down but Webb and Gerhardt are completely different styles of play at their positions. If anyone should be blamed it's Fletcher for knocking Ponder senseless and forcing his backup in (jk).

To repeat what's been said, rebuilding takes time. Don't complain about Snyder's lack of patience in trying to go for a quick fix then want to change coaches if we aren't in the playoffs after two seasons. As much as I want a new OC I know that changing now is tantamount to starting over. Most people on here were saying 3-4 years before we're respectable when MS was hired. It's been two years! Haslett has been going after specific skill sets for "his" schemes (along with MS and Allen). Morris and Frazier both run 4-3's and would want completely different skill sets in their players.

I know we have two months of everyone should be fired before the FA begins but come on. Haslett has made over the front seven into one of the better in the NFL right now and it's mostly young guys.
