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

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.

Having Coach Fletcher on the field doesn't hurt either...
