Re: 2010 NFL Free Agency Rumors and Reports (Week 2)

Well, short of storming the field in assless chaps and high heels, I know that our Hybrid of a defense will not be something that has never been seen before on an NFL field. But a Hybrid system as our BASE defense, not pigeonholing our D as 43 or 34, would be relatively new, and to my knowledge never done before. Of course the schemes will be new takes on defenses that have previously been utilized, but as far as blitzing from different angles, not even knowing how any people are up front, switching, on every play as a base defense, has never been done, and it would be innovative in my opinion.

This is the whole essence of why your proposed move would not make sense if that is the way the Redskins defensive coaching staff are going. Even seasoned 34 LB's or seasoned 43 DT's and DE's would have something new to learn, as well as having something unique to bring to the defense as well though. I just find it a little disheartening that you think we should give away a Stud young Athlete because he has never played LB in a 34, or because he weighs 15 - 20 lbs shy of your stereotypical 34 ILB. Thank god Haslett is letting, so far, the players and talents define and determine the schemes, and not the schemes and setups determining the players. Ability and youth should be injected into this team based on just that, not previous defenses and systems played.

Ideally, the only real piece of the puzzle that would never change, or his role would never change, Hybrid or 34 or 43, would be our NT/DT. Occupy blockers for the rest of the unit to move more freely to create havoc.

The assless chaps and high heels might not be such a bad idea. I never said anything about getting rid of Rocky, I like Rocky and I hope that Haslett can utilize him somewhere in his scheme. I never even said that Davis should start, but it's obvious that Allen, Shanahan, and Haslett are actively persuing players that are suited/experienced to play the 3-4 i.e. Foote, Kemoeatu, and Carriker and players who are not exactly suited to play the 3-4 (Carter, McIntosh) are reportedly on the trading block.
