Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

[The Goat]

While Albert makes more sense as a DE in a 3-4, my intuition he's much more valuable to the team as DT in a 4-3 scheme. At DT he takes two inside blockers, often times freeing up edge rushers. As a DE the offense will likely just keep a tackle and TE or FB to keep Albert at bay, leaving the rest of the oline intact. So I would say he's much more disruptive at DT, because let's face it he's not ever gonna be a speed edge rusher.

I don't see us having near the pieces in place to run a 3-4. Unless you count on Jarmon becoming a stud overnight we're missing 2 guys up front and at least 1 guy at LB. That's a lot of talent going to the defense when we basically need 2 starting OTs, a RB and possibly a QB just to be competitive again on offense.
