Haslett won't ever learn. Frustrating to watch as a fan.
Keep in mind, none of this is Haslett's fault. /boggle /sigh
Hopefully the O doesn't turtle up like they have been..
Edit... Well, Grossman strikes. /ugh
Come on defensive players make something happen.
It looked like he learned on that last series.Quote:

With him popping Jackson in the mouth first thing off the bat, it would take him out of being an option for a receiver and the ball would be over thrown (timing). Instead Rak reads Jackson going out in the flat too late. Jackson did do a good job of fooling him too. But since Rak didn't put hands on him in the backfield he lost him and wanted another sack... I mean, can you blame him. He was reeking havoc all game and wanted ONE MORE... so I fully understand...
Haslett has always been a ear pinned back, attack kind of guy. That will never change. We will get more players who can help that mode of defense and we will continue to excel. It's fun to watch, probably more fun to play in. Get use to it.
Yup.Quote:

But, other than making a few extremely dumb decisions, this defense is much better. So yeah, looks like I need to get used to Haslett.
and as we keep drafting better talent to fit the 3-4. blitzing on those downs will be even more successful. and you saw in the 4th quarter, we were playing a lot of 4-2
I agree that Haz has made a couple boneheaded calls, but overall I'll take his damn-the-torpedoes style over Blache's sit back and hope nothing bad happens style any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. :)Quote:

The best cure for THAT is a good bookend rush, such as what we've got in Rak and Kerrigan.Quote:

if you look at a defense like the ravens/steelers who we are trying to emulate, it's not about the corners. it's about the front 7 and having one cover/one flex safety.
i think we have a lot of the tools, and i really think the best part about the way the defense is playing this year is it will give us more flexibility in the draft instead of chasing more pieces to this 3-4.
