Let's remember he's doing this without his best pash rusher and some serious question marks in the secondary.

He learned from that call though. Don't think I saw another rush with less them 4 men for the rest of the game.

We gotta finish the season, but the big question is are their any better coaches out their right now defense wise. Out of all the coaches fired/available? If that answer is no then we stick with Haslett. If there is I'd hope Haslett gets looked at for a HCing job or simply cut/fire him. However... MS is a loyal HC. Denver fired him cause he refused to fire his DC back then and replace him.

So unless Haslett gets offered a job as HC somewhere I don't see him going anywhere. Unfortunately.

I'll give you the secondary issues. Best pass rusher must go to Kerrigan. I love Orakpo like every other fanatic fan but Kerrigan has played better and gotten more sacks. But if both were playing together this defense would be 100 X better.

Kerrigan has 16 sacks in his first two seasons, Orakpo had 19.5 in his first two.

Agreed our pass rush would be much better with them both in there.

I have the opinion that they should definitely bring him back. I think he has earned it. After a couple of years implementing the system, acquiring players through FA/draft, I am anxious to see how this defense grows and performs next year providing they stay relatively healthy.

I am expecting a deep run this year...I believe the Skins can match up against every team that made the playoffs. The only game that I think they would struggle in is GB in GB for the NFC Championship.

BUT next year could be even more special. Keep it all together...

Jarvis Jenkins is starting to play better and I think it's helping Haslett.

He is playing better, and that is nice...but that is just what he was expected to do - play at a high level and make an impact on the D-line.

I just think that after losing arguably the best or most impactful player on all three levels of the defense to injury (Carriker, Orakpo, Merriweather), not to mention the absence of TJ and CG, Haslett has put together some nice games and deserves the credit.

This is why people need to be careful before they criticize Coach Haz. He is one of the reasons why we made it to the post season. Regardless of where the Redskins ranked on defense this past season, I'm really glad that Bruce Allen extended Haslett before the season started.

A 3-man rush was a nice change up. Coverage wasn't executed well. I saw who was on the field during that defensive play and was like, "yikes!"

It's a happy medium; players are stepping up, Haslett is covering up deficiencies, and of course RGIII's leadership has inspired everyone's play.

Rather have Haslett get a HC than Kyle:

Jim Haslett could draw interest for NFL head coach opening

Late input: During the Cowboys game the defense looked great. Haslett did a great job with the guys he had. I say he stays. If he can make the Redskins defense look that good, then he deserves to keep his job. I heard it was Mike Shanahan who wanted to switch to the 34, not Haslett. Plus the defense had a lot of injuries, which put them in a real bind.

Again, the big knock on him before was that he couldn't adjust in games (Amendola this year; Joe Webb last year for example).

Has he been adjusting now?

I dont know why youd feel that way. We would not be in the playoffs now if Haslett were not our DC. He's done a phenominal job and i'd say hes a better coordinator than Kyle - and i think Kyles a genius.

We have talent on offense and other good alternatives to call plays if Kyle left. The same is not true on our defense. we pretty much have the worst talent in the secondary than any team in NFL history and our defense has locked down high scoring offenses. I hope Has stays.
