Great info. Personally, I would like to see another DC in here that has years of experience with the 3-4. Right now, what we have is:
- Haz, who spent some time in Pitt with the 3-4, but is actually more familiar with the 4-3
- Morris, Secondary, who as far as I can tell, has never coached in a 3-4.
- Burney, DL Coach, who worked with Shanahan in Denver, prior to that Carolina, and the Browns/Ravens. At the time, all ran a 4-3.
- Slowik, LBs Coach, who worked with Shanahan in Denver, and also in Green Bay and Chicago. At the time, all ran a 4-3.

You know, there probably was a thread on this at some point, but I just looked all this up as I was writing this post. It really is a head scratcher to think that bringing in a DC that has mostly 4-3 experience, a secondary coach who has never worked with a 3-4, a DL and LB coach who have never been in the 3-4 AND who were on the side of the ball that got Mike Shanahan fired in Denver, then decide to run a 3-4, and think that it was going to work. (holy run-on sentence batman)

I'm starting to think that Shanahan in a bit of a personal identity crisis here: He knows that he needed to do something different defensively, so he got Haz and they agreed on a 3-4, but then they stocked the coaching staff with guys who all have a 4-3 background. Then they start plugging in new players, and the coaches don't have the experience to teach the intricacies of the positions.

Very very odd. Now, I'm thinking that in the off season, they have to do an entire overhaul of the defensive coaching staff. Not only do they need a new DC, but they also need new position coaches that have worked in the same system for a period of years.

I didn't realize how odd this was until just now.

I think that what Shanahan did was look around and see that the 3-4 worked. And that's it.

The Redskins just posted this video of Bruce Allen at the tailgate. You can definitely spot a few ES members.

Has the makings of another shootout...unless of course our defense decides to lay down and give them 4 touchdowns after driving down the field 9 minutes, and who knows, LeSean McCoy might go crazy if Fat Andy wanted to protect Foles.
