I bet the Florida Tuskers had a better run and pass the defense.

[quote=diehard;739684]Carter in coverage is the least of our liabilities. Did you watch the game?[/quote]

Yeah I did and listed other issues as well in my post. Your right maybe not a big issue but an issue nonetheless.

[quote=Ruhskins;739648]Defense hasn't been playing well. We won a fluke in week one and the defense's issues caught up to us on week two. We just lost to a subpar team (apparently they are not) with a rookie QB that didn't play his senior year, basically no receivers, and their start RB (their main offensive weapon) out for half of the game.[/quote]

That summation is not a very good one. I sense from the game day thread a feeling of ship jumping. Is everyone off the wagon already? We've only played 3 games.

Your summary makes me sick. I need anti-depressants.

Has Haslett ever coached a top defense? I don't ever remember feeling dread going into a game against a Haslett D.

I cant remember, but I do know for a fact he has coached a 32nd rank D

Best finish was a #6 ranked D. Only two top 10 finishes with the other being #10 i believe.

D. Jax and J. Maclin are going to kill it next week. And when we do cover, Vick is going to run all over this D.

I'm sure ppl will be off the bandwagon when we get prison raped by the Eagles next week.

Kemo sucks and Albert is on and off.[/quote]

we need a LOT more than just that my friend.

The only thing we needed in our old 4-3 defense was a SLB and FS. We could've gotten Aaron Kampman or AJ Hawk from Green Bay and put Kareem Moore at FS, and move Landry back to SS.

If we had a 4-3 defense, we could have had a d-line of Carter, Golston, Haynesworth, and Orakpo tearing shit apart. Fletcher would be playing his natural MLB position and be a beast in the middle.

I've already divested my seat on the wagon and watching it as it heads towards the edge of the cliff. Best of luck to all those who are still on board...I hope Superman comes through and rescues you.

Does it surprise you that people jump ship so quickly? I know everyone is a little upset especially after losing to the Rams, but to become so discouraged so soon sounds nothing like the energy that ignited this forum just a couple months ago. Where did it all go?

Re: The Official Defense Has Major Issues/Fire Jim Haslett Thread
 

I agree the switch to the 3-4 was a big mistake, but we have an offense problem also. Donovan hit 7 different guys with passes, but only to 2 WRs for 7 grabs total(Moss had 6, Roydell 1). Bradford hit 9 different guys, but hit pretty much most of his Wrs. We simply do not have the overall talent to compete. Going back to the 4-3 would help the D somewhat, but we still have massive depth issues all around.

Sorry dude, I never trusted this whole switch to the 3-4. I mean, how the hell can you beat anyone after getting beat by the Rams? Here's the rest of our schedule...

@ Eagles (L)
vs. Green Bay (L)
vs. Indy (L)
@ Bears (L)
@ Detroit (??)

We could easily be 1-6 or 2-5 by the bye week.
