The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread

[dgack]

Wade Phillips to me personifies the talented but sloppy team. I've had enough of guys playing fast and loose, what I want is precision and execution.

Which we're finally getting. A major reason why we're winning games we would have lost a year ago, are less penalized this year, are successfully completing game-winning drives, etc.

The Cowboys choke because their coach is not a closer. No thanks, I'd rather not have that guy anywhere near our coaching staff

The Green Bay gameday thread was hilarious, reading the next day.


They're always a riot. Our members are cliff-jumpers during the game. If you read those thread not knowing the final score...you'd think we lost 88-0.

As a big opponent of 3-4, I must say that I like some 4-3 looks that Haslett has thrown into the mix. I overreact in a negative manner, but I'm always happy to be proven wrong.

I agree with your post Ruh.

I have been a big non believer in the new defense. But Haslett is making some nice changes and I am becoming a believer in his adjustments.

Our biggest holes are on the d-line i think we need a solid nose-guard. I think that Chris Wilson is the key next year i believe he is gonna develop into one of the gnarlyiest pass-rushers in the league. I also believe that Lorenzo alexander will flourish at the lolb spot. I think he will lose some weight and fit perfect into the scheme behind Andre Carter. To our defense as a whole we have some key players we just have to develop their already strong skill sets to fit the mold of what hasletts trying to do. I think in the 2011 season our defense will be a force. We Just need Noseguard and some more depth at all four lb spots.

I don't really see a problem with our secondary that more reps can't fix i think our secondary is the strongest part of the team. With that said we were getting shreded through the air the 1st 4 weeks of the season but any QB (sam Bradford included) can hit an nfl reciever if he has 6 seconds to throw the ball even though the defense is blitzing leaving holes in the coverage.

Hail!!!

I honestly feel that if Haslett had taken the approach of easing the team into the 3-4, with modified 4-3 looks, we may have fared better defensively. But I do give the team props for modifying things and they seem to be playing to our strength.
