Don't get to excited about the 3-4 yet, our defense(4-3) could be better with a different DC calling plays.

Exactly, all of the sudden ppl want to sign guys like Seymore and O.J A from STL.. Didn't we learn from our own mistakes? It's like the Mcnabb thread earlier..:smashfrea

From BigHairedAristocrat in another thread:

As for Haslett, his most recent NFL defenses haven't been ranked particularly high, but few in NFL circles are going to question Haslett's defensive expertise. As interim coach in St. Louis in 2008, the Rams finished ranked 28th overall. In his six years in New Orleans, the Saints' defenses were ranked eighth, 16th, 27th, 18th, 32nd and 14th.

Why is everyone talking about O.J? He tore his knee up real bad if i'm not mistaken, he could be done.

Isn't he in jail also?? Plus we don't need anymore wide recievers here.

Yeah I'm not high on switching to a 3-4 either. We just don't have the personnel for it and we'd have to make too many moves if we wanted to be solid defensively. And I'm not too high on Haslett either. His defenses have been absolutely nothing special for as long as I can remember and on top of that the majority of our defense is made for a 4-3.

Wow...not often we see a thread in which everyone basically agrees. So the Haslett deal is a head-scratcher. Any guesses what lil D/Allen/Mike could be thinking?

-Evidently there isn't a ton of DC talent out there. Wouldn't that sort of lead one to believe keeping a guy on to maintain what we're doing makes sense i.e. Gray? You want a great mind to help w/ a transition into a totally new scheme like the 3-4 instead of a mediocre mind.

-Is Haslett just a stop-gap? Sure to be gone next year.

I think it's safe to say the defense will not be better this year than last, and maybe likely to get worse.

I think we're going to give 3-4 looks but I really don't think we're going 3-4 full-time

I agree with SmootSmack. I don't see us going strictly 3-4 right away.

Agreed. Man we sure don't jump to conclusions around here huh? One hire and we're changing to the 3-4 and getting rid of Haynesworth?

And I thought we were going to win the Super Bowl next year (: . Hope they stick with the 4-3 for now .

good hire. haslett is just what the defense needs. a former player who's a hard ass and won't coddle landry, haynesworth and hall. and why is everyone crying about the 3-4? did any of the coaches say they were switching the defense? people need to relax.

I think it will probably be some type of mix.

They haven't even talked to Haslett yet; he's run the 4-3 as well. We'll see..

I'm definitely wondering what this move was made for though.. I mean Haslett couldn't get another NFL job, at least not one he was willing to take.. not even a DC spot anywhere that he could've landed?

Guys I know this sounds crazy but take this for a thought...3-4 and 4-3 Jims used both.....Jim is probably going to run both!
