Hasslett knows him better than anyone, that's what really matters.

All you need is for someone to take a chance on you maybe we (REDSKINS) can catch lightning in a bottle.

Re: Meet Lou Spanos

The need for change on defense was evident. While they've been stout and what most would call a bend but don't break kind of D, when was the last time this unit produced turnovers with any regularity?? That's why we're seeing a change.

Can't go wrong with him. Knows the 3-4 system, developed the LBs up there, 15 years experience. I can't fathom how different being a Linebackers coach is so different from being an assistant LB coach. You're working with the same core of players, just that you're doing to the delegating of tasks to the assistants, etc.

Re: Meet Lou Spanos

My main point is that we have shown that we can compete with our old style of defense; while coaching is different point from what I'm trying to argue.. We have players that are better fit for 4-3 instead of 3-4.. We have needs on offense that needs to be taken care of; for an example, we drafted Riley with our 2nd pick, while we could have drafted someone else on O-line side.. I would not oppose the idea of changing to 3-4 style, only after we take care of our offense first..

While I agree with you guys that Blache sucks, I never said that he was good in first place.. Which was why I added " with the additional aggressive attitude" in my first post, the defense would be awesome..

But again, this is just my opinion..

Capers is going to turn out to be a steal for the 3rd of our 7th rd picks he will have RT on lock for years to come.

I never said it wasn't a fair point that they could have went with a more aggressive 4-3. However, to me, conservative and aggressive are polar opposite "styles" or approaches, and the Redskins' old style was primarily conservative approach.
