Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

12thMan · 01-13-2010, 12:29 PM

Sometimes I think we place way too much emphasis on defensive rankings. Where this guy's defense was ranked, how well he did with that defense. The Redskins have consistently been a top 10 defense for the past few years. Personally, I'd take a top 15 defense with more red zone stops and less big plays over 30 yards.

That has been my biggest bone to pick with Blache's and Gregg Williams defense; we gave up momentum killing plays at the most inopportune times. If Haslett can correct that one area, I don't care if we sacrafice a few slots in total yards, but end up with a defense that plays consistently well from start to finish.
