Jim Haslett's inconsist defense

GridIron26

I believe Haslett will have one more year to prove himself, that is if Shanny decide not to stick with him all the way. The defense might be inconsistent but this year is big improvement compared to last year, and that credit goes to Haslett.

Haslett isn't the problem. This defense is good/capable enough to be a super bowl worthy defense; its the offense that holds it back, and makes their stats look worse than what they really are. My only concern with our defense is that we can't get to the QB quick enough. We only sacked brady once. Giants got to him 5 times. We gotta get creative when we blitz the QB quickly.

The thing that worries me about Haslett is that he has always had the same inconsistent issues everywhere he's been, NO, Rams, Pitt. One week great play next week you are wondering what happened to the D from the previous week, something you never worried about w/ Petitbone. Yesterday they allowed 33 pts. do you call that a good D? With the talent on the D it should be better especially against the Vikes.

The defense looked poor against the Vikes and the immortal Joe Webb.

That said, overall the defense has been very good this year and has not been our problem. Sure, we could use more creative blitzing and the secondary has had its troubles. But if we had a competent offense we'd be in the playoff hunt. So it is hard for me to bust on Haslett too much. Raheem Morris would be nice but I would not mind bringing back Haslett.

Through 15 Weeks, the Redskins had one of the most consistent defenses in the NFL.

That's not true anymore, obviously, but it not like inconsistency is a plague that runs through this team. It's a veteran laden defense that offers you pretty much the same effort every week. This week, it failed to stop Joe Webb and Toby Gerhart. Oh well. I'll be more interested to see how it does next week against a bunch of guys we'll see again in 2012 when they are trying to win the super bowl.

And if they shut down the Eagles, no one is going to sit and lament how inconsistent they were the last two weeks.

I like the individual parts if not the scheme and execution. I think Perry Riley is a real keeper and has been a pleasant surprise this season. In fact, if you look at the front seven I'm not sure where the Skins are in need of a significant upgrade. This helps us come draft time as we can focus on depth and plug some holes in the back four.

Awesome isn't it.

I don't question the talent, but I do the scheme and lack of adjustment, it's been 2 years and he still hasn't adjusted to a scrambling type QB.

they had a really bad game yesterday, Wilson was terrible at Corner, Riley was out of position a ton, Reed was just Reed, not a starting saftey in the NFL. OJ at safety seemed very slow again...Safety is a much more of a concern that CB going into the offseason.

Defense was bad yesterday period.

Wait, you're just talking about wins and losses then? Your list looks like a bunch of good teams, and then yesterday against backups. At least thats how I see it.

I think its fair to say that Michael Vick has given Haslett fits and is the one QB who it has taken him all the way until half to adjust to, but I want to give him the first half of next week before I write off his tenure as "cant defend scrambling quarterbacks."
