Re: Why is Haslett still our DC?
Why do people keep saying "well our 4-3 defense wasn't great", that doesn't really excuse the decision to change it to a complete different scheme to which you don't have the personnel for.
I use the Texans as a pretty good example, their defense was TERRIBLE and now they are changing to the 3-4. Despite this, they are taking a very good 4-3 DE and putting him into a scheme where he may or may not succeed. However, their growing pains in the 3-4 will be easier to overcome, since their 4-3 defense sucked the previous year. I am over the whole change to the 3-4, we got into this situation and we have to give it time and hopefully the team will find the right personnel. But please don't tell me that the change was a good idea. It was an unnecessary idea by Shanahan, he should've found a 4-3 D-coordinator to improve upon the defense we had. Now we need to find an NT, younger DEs, another pass rushing/coverage OLB, and ILBs that can replace Rocky (will he be back) and Fletcher whenever he decides to hang it up. Personally, I'd like to see one or two veterans with 3-4 experience on this team (my choice would be Soliai and that DE from Cleveland that just got released). And people need to stop calling for Haslett's firing, he hasn't been given the right players for the scheme he's been ask to run.
