The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread

[Defensewins]

I am not surprised by the problems we are having on defense.
I have been posting all summer when I was disappointed to find out we hired Hasslett and were switching to the 3-4 full time, I knew this would happen and we would be vulnerable to the run. So this is not a shocker. I do think in time Hasslett wil turn it around.
One of the problem is every year with our fans and some on this sight, we experience some success in preseason and immediately we start hearing the ovelyr optimistic talk of playoffs and how we are back to being a winning team.
The reality is we are better (4-12) but not as far removed as some would think from what we were last year.
Our offensive line and defensive secondary (safety play) is greatly improved. But we are much weaker in our front seven, which is the foundation of any defense and what separates a winning teams from a losing teams.
Before we screaming for people to get fired we need give them a chance to right the ship. The only part that is little frustrating is they took a team strength, run stopping and some how made it a weakness. That is a bitter pill to swallow.
