Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives

[KI Skins Fan]

One thing I do know because I've seen it several times before in the NFL: A new DC can make a big difference in a short period of time if the change is made during the season.

HOWEVER, isn't Haslett close with Jay Gruden? Didn't Gruden play for him or coach under him or something? Is Haslett the Gruden family's adopted uncle? I don't know the exact relationship but I don't get the feeling that Jay would be willing to make a change of DC's anytime soon.

Besides, wasn't the bad defense under Shanahan really Shanny's fault because he wouldn't let Haslett "turn loose" the pass rushers?

Regardless of what happened during Haslett's years under Shanahan, I can't explain away the remaining decades of his mediocrity as a DC. Perhaps it was due to global warming.

How dare you! The Florida Huskers or Tuskers or Whatevers had a great D! Great! Well atleast I think they did. Im not sure because I dont know who they are, but Haslett was there and he is amazing!

I apologize. Forget my previous post. Haslett is a great DC and if our defense is poor it is in no way attributable to the current DC. In fact, there is nobody on planet Earth who could do a better job than Jim Haslett.

I have a t-shirt that says this exact same thing. Crazy.
