Redskins vs Vikings Gameday thread

[JoeRedskin]

Sorry, allowing 4th quarter drives of 70+ yards to a rookie QB with a lackluster running attack is a defensive low point.

In part, it was players failing to execute - being pulled from zone assignments by clearing routes or failing to understand where safety help is. At the same time, as someone else said (either on twitter or one of the local reporters), if the players are failing to execute your zone concepts consistently, then - as a coach - you need to find what is working for them.

Hazlett has young corners who play a decent man coverage. Go with it and cover the top with safety help. If it exposes Riley, then design help for him or get him out. Maybe mix in some zone so the CB's can improve their skills on that but don't stick with a defense that is clearly not working.

I am firmly in the time to dump Hazlett now camp. It's the bye week, ditch Raheem, Haz and promote Bradley. Not sure if he will be an improvement or if it would be giving someone a promotion beyond their capabilities, but - jeez - can he really be that much worse than Hazlett at this point?
