The Redskins corners started playing off their WRs by 7-10 yards and allowing all of these quick passes and Jim Hasslet did not adjust and it was over.

The lack of defensive adjustments was alarming in the Packers game, but was evident in the second half of the Eagles game. I almost want to throw that one out due to the unknown of their offense and the way we gave them the ball on a short field. BUT the Packers game was a different story all together. Fletch looked flat out bad in that game and was having real trouble getting the guys lined up on defense.
