need to find a replacement for jim haslett. guy blows goats, can't gameplan for a pee wee league team.
I bet he misses Spanos more than he would admit. Can't stand coverage woes between player mistakes and improper scheme.

Neither Kevin Barnes nor Andre Carter are going to fix this.
Truly, Jackson and Wilson played a damn good game today. We got burned on a gimmick play and then had either a questionable scheme or shitty tackling the other plays.
I like Haslett's aggressiveness on first down, but after he gets a successful play, he wants to keep at it and it's been apparent over the past few years that he should be a little more conservative when the offense has a third and long situation.
Just in case anyone is wondering Alfred Morris is on pace for 1,400 yards this year. Obviously theres ups and downs and players get tired as the season goes on especially rookies who are use to shorter college season but it's still worth noting.
YES....it is! This kid is the real deal. What a find in the 6th......

DeAneglo Hall is making $6 million right now with a $600k release fee. I say we start there this offseason.
I see people are finally realizing what I said from the beginning when they signed him instead of extending Rogers. Thanks Vinny!

To be honest we just don't have the players to fit the scheme or vice versa. Both Kerrigan and Orakpo were drafted as DEs, not LBs. Both have made the adjustment rather well, but I would love to see both of them as DEs again and acting like a giant pincer to nail opposing QBs. One less linemen puts more pressure on the LBs to be able to plug the gaps for the run or defend short to medium routes on passing. Our best true LB is on the verge of retirement Add to that our secondary is full of no names, plus the loud mouth Hall, and you will get lit up. If Haslett and co wanted to institute the 3-4 the organization should have drafted and acquired players that actually played in the system at the college level. I know the options are limited as very few big college Div1A programs run the 3-4, but that fact should have made Haslett think twice about switching in the first place.

Secondary problems will not be fixed for a year or two. You have to draft at least 2 DBs this draft and if we have the money to blow get a younger FA CB or S. Outside of Hall, we have nobody that is really of starting caliber. The only secondary that I have seen in the past couple seasons as bad as ours is the Lion's secondary, which is consists of a bunch of chumps. A switch to the 4-3 would be advised, but I think Haslett will be shown the door if the 2012 campaign is a bummer.

Yes but even with orakpo and kerrigan our d is sooo much worse than last year. I mean landry never played and atogwe stunk. Why is the d so terrible?
Teams would score 21 points and shut it down knowing it would take a miracle for us to score in the twenties. Probably disguised issues with the Defense.

Number 1 scoring offense in the NFL = 1-2. Doesn't make sense.

Yes and this year teams know we can score( obviously what are we at 30 ppg?) So now teams just keep airing it out
