Perhaps...but you've got to admit...out of Shanny, Shanny JR and Haslett....that Haslett had the weakest coaching background results of the 3....not to mention Shanny's tendancy to select and churn through average D coordinators.

It is a shame...because, even though I was expecting a decline in defensive capability due to the scheme shift...I sure expected them to be able to force a few more punts than they have....due to their ability to stop offenses...not due to opponents errors such as the Dallas game.

Lets see how much yardage they give up to a crap team....especially late in the game.
I frankly cannot understand how you can give up that much yardage to an average team with a 17 pt lead late in the game...."prevent" would have yielded better results. The Houston game was a disgrace...great first impression!
