Haslett to accept Defensive Coordinator

[dmek25]

30, no way i want Daniels on the team next season. and Carter at linebacker looked ugly in San Fran

Haslett is actually by no means a surprising hire, Snyder wanted him in 1999 to replace Norv Turner even before he had officially bought the team. After purchasing the team he made an immediate move to get Haslett then the DC in Pittsburgh. Cower refused because he couldn't replace Haslett on such short notice just before training camp was about to begin. In fact Cower became so enraged at Snyder's poaching attempt that in 2004 he refused permission for Russ Grimm to join Gibbs' staff. Snyder has waited eleven years to get Haslett on the Redskins staff, the hiring of Shanahan helped make it possible for him.

Ah the 'Snyder is still meddling' chorus.. So there's no merit to the fact that Shanny and Haslett spent 2 weeks together during the season discussing philosophy and watching tape? Snyder had numerous times to bring Haslett in if he was so determined to do so over the past 11 years.

Quite the contrary, Shanahan and Haslett meeting during the course of the season discussing strategies makes the union now even more understandable. Nothing to do with Snyder meddling, and we don't know for fact Snyder didn't want to get Haslett here on more than one occasion since his initial inquiry, circumstances associated with his being contracted elsewhere could have prevented it.

Larry Michael interview

Meet The Coaches - Jim Haslett, Defensive Coordinator

Says Orakpo rushed about 400 times, want to get him to about 800 rushes this season

Haynesworth, will just have to sit down and explain to him what's going to happen and whatnot, could play end or tackle (but earlier didn't commit to 3-4)

Said he thought Carter would like what they could do with him in 3-4 vs the diff situation in SF

Loves Fletcher of course

A LOT of talk about turnovers needed

biggest challenge = overlook rank, turnovers = wins.. saints as example

Haynesworth isn't looking for adulation to become inspired. I think he wants to see the d coordinator use a scheme that maximizes his own abilities, because as $100 million man on defense Albert believes (rightly IMO) the defense should be built around him. Blache didn't do that well enough. Our run defense sagged badly against good running games. Hopefully Haslett can make it happen.

...one thing that worries me is Haslett's comments about the Saints defense. Overall stats didn't matter all that much for Williams' group because he was a flat out genius this year about dialing up the pressure at the right time to create turnovers. Would Williams also like to have a shut-down defense (especially among the front seven)? Of course!!! Haslett, IMO, doesn't have near the genius Williams possesses when it comes to scheme and reading an offense. His defenses have been underwhelming.

That justs makes me drool when I hear that

For Haslett, Nose Tackles Must Play With Guts And Grit


But I still can't get over this:

From BigHairedAristocrat in another thread:

Quote:
As for Haslett, his most recent NFL defenses haven't been ranked particularly high, but few in NFL circles are going to question Haslett's defensive expertise. As interim coach in St. Louis in 2008, the Rams finished ranked 28th overall. In his six years in New Orleans, the Saints' defenses were ranked eighth, 16th, 27th, 18th, 32nd and 14th.

A number 1: You can take anything i say straight to the bank. Once there, you can collect a large sum of money. All you have to do is say, "hands in the air! this is a robbery!"

B number 2: those are most certainly not my words. It must have been a quote from another source (probably Jason Reid from the Washington Post).

C number 3: salt is good for you.
