Hey Ho, Haslett has to go! (or maybe not)

REDSKINS4ever

Since you are mentioning NCAA defensive coordinators, what about Bob Diaco?

SmootSmack

What NCAA guy did I mention?

What about Nick Aliotti?
ND has looked stout this year on D but Manti Teo is a man posessed.

That's one LB I would love to see in B&G.

Gibbs wasn't an egomaniac like Shanny. For some reason I feel Mike doesn't want a competent Defensive coach on the staff because he doens't want the competion. Looking at his DCs none of them were barn burners. I wouldn't be surprised if he replaced Haslett with another jabroni DC.

Teo would be an excellent replacement for London Fletcher. But what about Keenan Robinson? Isn't he being groomed to eventually replace Fletcher? I think he is.

I think we can all agree on that.

I think I realized why you want Nick Aliotti so much; Because he supposedly runs a hybrid 4-3 3-4 defense...?

Interesting but its a college coach. Those guys are shaky. I guess I'd rather have him over the ND guy, considering that when I watched OU game, he had his DBs playing like ours, way off the ball. I don't think he'd work as well in the NFL as Aliotti could. But both are good D coordinators.

A) You probably haven't looked into the draft rankings or watch much college football, because Te'o isn't just the best MLB in the country, nor is he the one of the best defensive players in the country, he's in the Heismann race because he's just that good all around. He isn't dropping into the 2nd round. Not. A. Chance.

B) Keenan Robinson is being groomed to be one of our MLBs, whether its to replace Fletcher or go to Riley's spot when Riley goes to Fletchers spot (more likely to happen). But I'll say this. Keenan hasn't been on defense much this year, so thats questionable. Fletcher has been bad this year. If Robinson is going to be a future starter on this team, he needs to be starting now. Also coming out of college the knock on Keenan was that he gets engulfed and run over in the run game (but he excels very well on pass defense) maybe he'll bulk up and improve, but I honestly don't see Keenan as a future year in and year out starter. I see him more in that Mark Herzlich role that he plays for the Giants; let the 3 LB's start and fill in on different downs and be a special teams stud.

I'd look to a program where a 3-4 defense is run for sure for LB talent. Notre Dame, Maryland, or Alabama comes to mind. The Redskins need to get out of the habit of converting 4-3 linebackers into 3-4 personnel and look for that fit from true sources.

Mattyk

Converting players isn't an uncommon thing, or a Redskins thing. There just aren't enough schools that run a 3-4.

Kerrigan was a "tweener" too. So they are targeting 3-4 guys.
