Re: Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

I'm a bit late to the party but Haslett is a welcome change imo regardless of his scheme.

I thought that Blache wasn't getting the most out of our defense.
I thought that his scheme's were predictable and but at the same time lacked discipline.
I think our secondary as a unit the blew more coverages assignments then what can reasonably be expected from a unit with their talent and experience.

I'm skeptical about the move a possible move to 3-4 although i think it could work.

I think that Haynesworth would make a good possibly great NT if he were to embrace the position, but most likely he won't. But he could be an equally disruptive 3-4 DE.

Here's my opinion of how our 3-4 front 7 should look:

DE-Daniels
NT-Monty (I still have faith in this kid maybe with Blache gone he can get out of the dog house and show the upside he flashed under Gregg Willimam? And if not he's still a big body that could be a space eater.)
DE-Haynseworth (He should freakin dominate here)

OLB-Orakpo-Beast

ILB(Mack)-Fletcher has the speed and the instinct to excell in this role, its the postion in a 3-4 most similiar to his role as a 4-3 MLB; the 'mack' is the unblocked 'playmaker' in a 3-4. Rocky would also fit in this role but Fletcher,imo, is still at this point in their careers the better of the 2.

ILB(Buck)-H.B. Blades. The 'buck' 3-4 ILB is a banger that often takes on blocks and is similiar to a 4-3 SAM backer, Blades is the only true non-hybrid SAM backer on the roster and this might give him a chance to shine.
Imo Rocky too small for this position and would struggle getting off blocks because he's not often asked to as a 4-3 WILL.

OLB-Chris Wilson/Carter- I remember Blache admitting that Kirk Olivadotti got more production from Chris Wilson during the offseason transition to hybrid DE/OLB then Blache did in Wilson's entire tenure with the skins.
I think we all see that Wilson has tons of potential and just needs to play.
Although Carter has played 3-4 OLB with the 49ers reports are that it wasn't a good fit, maybe the second time around will be the charm?
