Jim Haslett's inconsist defense

Could he have meant Kyle landing a head coaching job somewhere else? That might be a blessing in disguise for the new QB coming in. (Assuming of course there is one....)

I would be shocked to see that happen.......

The one thing I've noticed with Haslett is that he has not been able to adjust his defense to scrambling type QB's like Vick, Newton, Webb/Ponder. 2 years now with the same problem and no fix. If Leslie Frazier or Raheem Morris get fired, I would like to see either one as a replacement. Your thoughts?

How about we try continuity for a change? Not saying haslett is the best DC in the league but he's not a bad one either. The good teams in this league do not make kneejerk changes every offseason.

Thank goodness someone sees what I have been preaching for quite a while. Teams that are successful have continuity on both sides of the ball. He has our D from 31st to 13th, top 5 in several key areas (3rd downs, sacks) I am looking for a much bigger improvement next year after another draft and off season. Plus Jarvis will be back, Cofield and Bowen another off season to learn more of the 3-4. Riley playing from the beginning of the season. I really think we are in a position to be a top notch defense if we stay the course.

And honestly, a contender for the division next season if we keep building and adding pieces to this offense. Hell, with Rex were putting up 20+ a game the last month 1/2 and had games that we lost late.

snatch up spags

SS,
He said that we should monitor what happens with washington's coaching staff, and that his gut says that shanahan stays, but he feels like one or both of the coordinators would have to change, defensively and or offensively.

And yeah I say we give him another year--haslett.

If that happens where we get rid of or change coaching our coaching staff, I swear it is getting hard to root for an organization that continues to set itself up for failure year in and year out. Just when you think we are going in the right direction, getting some continuity, some familiarity with offensive and defensive schemes, they change it. No one has patience and no one can expect to win consistantly if you change every damn thing after two years. OUr defense is progressing from 31st to 13th in one season!!! Why do we need to change that. Our offense is finally moving the ball, averaging 22 points a game the last 5 weeks, with rookie RB's and make shift Oline and really not a #1 true WR and Rex at QB. I just dont freaking get it why we need to change all the time. We will never win if we keep changing the f'n coaches. so damn frustrating

I think you definitely keep Haslett for one more year, but I have to say, if Spags is available, that would be awful tempting....

Spags is a 4-3 guy...we run a 3-4...ain't gonna work and the eagles are expected to get him.

We're (still) best suited as a 4-3 in terms of personnel. And letting Spags go to the Iggles if we could land him would be unforgivable.

He's Super Smart on defense

I think we need to keep Haslett. The defense is currently rated 13, last year we were ranked 31. That is a difference of 18 spots. We are only missing a few pieces from being a consistent top ten defense.

We need a true coverage corner. Landry set us back by not getting the surgery last offseason. The defense is different with him healthy.
