The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread

[JLee9718]

I think we've got the worst coached defensive team in the league! Who tells our cornerbacks to play so far off the receivers? Why is our nickel defense so bad now? Why didn't we add another cornerback for this year?

Fire Hasslett now!!! London Fletcher takes a beating cause the guards come right out on him!! Instead of in a 4-3 where he had a pair of 2 techs slanting and pinching in front of him for protection. What a freaking joke this d is!!!!!!

We have the worst defense in the league, i dont know about worst coached defense. WE dont have the players to perform this defense. If Shanny would just use Haynesworth at DE and let him freaking play instead of flashing around his big ass macho ego, he could possible make a difference on the D-line. We need big run stopping lineman upfront. Which to me would be Albert, Kemo, and Daniels. I dont know if I have ever seen them on the field together, consistantly. But Shanny's big ass ego of "I'll show you" plays Holliday, Gholston, Bryant and keeps getting freaking gashed. How is a D-line unit going to get any cohesion if it is constantly being rotated in and out. How will they every get "lathered up" and in a flow of the game? Never, if it continues this way. They can't even get stretched out and in game flow before their asses are getting yanked to the sideline. I honestly am tired of the Albert saga. Everyone freaking knows that Albert is the best lineman on the team. Play his ass at DE and let him destroy guards and tackles all day. You put him on an end with Rak or Carter and that looks pretty disruptive. Also, Devin Thomas and for whatever reason Shanny doesn't want to give him a chance to play. It was proven towards the end of the year he can be a pretty damn good reciever. He is big, strong, fast and usually would go up against 2nd or 3rd corners, and I believe would have quite an impact on the passing game. More of an impact than a 40 year old grey beard that gets one target a game, or better than Roydell Williams, or Armstrong. It really makes no sense to me.

This breaks my heart.

Despite the release of NFL icon Emmitt Smith, the Cowboys fortunes would begin to change with the introduction of Bill Parcells as head coach. Parcells would begin to reshape the team, particularly on offense, with an overhaul of the coaching staff, including former New York Giants offensive coordinator Sean Payton. Surprisingly, Parcells would retain much of the defensive staff, including defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and maintain the teams basic 4-3 defense instead of immediately installing the 3-4 defense which was a trademark of all Parcells's prior teams. This would prove a wise decision, as the Cowboys would finish the season with the top ranked overall defense.

Parcells knew defense. All Shanahan knows is offense.

He can't be held blameless for AH's offseason spat because that entire spat was due to the implementation of the 3-4. Who wanted the 3-4?

Then the Cowboys drafted Ware and made him the cornerstone for the transition to the 3-4 Parcells wanted. The feeling here, right or wrong, is that we drafted our 3-4 cornerstone last year in Brian Orakpo
