That was a nice comment. I like it.

Just what this organization needs, more change. Its the talent (or lack thereof) not the coaching.

someone that sees the real issue.

Look, two of our best pass rushers are on IR. playing with basically 3rd string safeties and lets be honest, our corners are horrible. Hall included. You could pay a minimum contract and get the same output as what he is giving us. Haslett took our D from last, to top 10 I believe last year. We have no safeties at all.

One thing I have noticed, or haven't noticed is the big blitz on 3rd down. Now I know the coverage is lacking, but in my experience you blitz to cover up the lack of coverage ability.

We just aren't getting to the QB like we did last year, which is obvious by the last in the league stat we have against the pass. Against the rush, top notch.
So lets not get rid of Haslett and lets get some quality players instead

Who are you referring to? Rak is the only pass-rusher we're missing. Carriker is a run-stopping d end and rarely put pressure on the QB.

Haslett took a top 10 defense to bottom of the league, and then last year we were middle of the pack. Back to the bottom this year.

The regime has signed or drafted a ton of defensive players across the front seven. Carriker, Bowen and Cofield all signed. Kerrigan drafted. Who are the quality players you would bring in, and how are we going to pay for them?

Woah. Carriker is a huge loss on the pass rush front because he would push the pocket right up the middle in the face of the QB causing the QB to either not step up or try getting out of the pocket where our pass rushers would get him. Believe me we miss orakpo a lot but carriker is equally as huge of a loss.

Carriker had 5.5 sacks last season. Not bad for sure.

I believe he had 5 sacks last year also. I must say I expected a little more from Jenkins this year. Makes me wonder how much damage his injury actually did to him.

And its just a matter of time before Hasslett gets the Blitzkrieg Bop!!!

Since the word is that Haslett has lost the locker room, he has to go. It will be impossible to get good results while he is here.

[DynamiteRave]

I voted after the season, but if the locker room's lost, go for it during the bye week. Suppose it can't get much worse than your players thinking you're a joke.

[SmootSmack]

Again, to clarify. I believe he's lost the locker room. And I'm basing that on knowing he's lost certain key players.

As for Raheem, I guess he'd be the natural successor if a change were made right now. I think the players like him. But I don't think he's ready to be a 3-4 DC

How do you know he's lost certain players? Not doubting your word, but I am curious as to what you've heard and what you know. And which players? If he's lost D. Hall, for example, it's hard to get too exercised about that. But if he's lost Fletcher, on the other hand, that would be genuine cause for concern.

Wives like to talk about their husbands sometimes, that's how I know. And it's players that matter
