S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Wait...this is not going to be the Zorn, bingo caller thing part two? Where we have a coach/playcaller, who doesn't call plays but is just a face on the sideline that get's paid. First thing i thought of when i read this!

Boss_Hogg Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Interesting if true. If that's the case then be real with Haz and let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is the thing. It seems like the defense responds better to Morris than Haslett. I'm not ready to pull the plug yet, but what happens if the defense does not improve under him after Cincy? My opinion, you have to fire him after Cincy and let R.M. take over.

KingGibbs Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Please show Jim Hasbeen the door. Props to KDawg for calling out his inadequacies two years ago when he was signed on as DC. Not only is Hasbeen passive emotionally but he's also a passive playcaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTskins Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I believe the 4th qtr drives for the Rams werePunt Punt Fumble Wonderful. Where was he in the first 3 quarters when Danny A. was catching 15 balls for 130 yards? Lets let him perfect his part of the defense before annointing him the second coming of Dick LeBeau.

Brotherz Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 As if we needed more evidence, this is overwhelming evidence that we are still a bad football team. You DO NOT do this. I agree with the sentiment of many - this CANNOT linger - cut Haslett if that is where this is going. Be decisive. Having the players taking sides and Haslett looking over his shoulder etc is BAD BAD BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 So here's a question, if Morris takes over, will he still keep the 3-4? Does he have experience with the 3-4? I thought when he was with TB they ran a 4-3. Yes, he has experience in the 3-4 while in TB.. he experimented with the 3-4 concepts a few during his time as a DC..

Morris didn't make the final play calls though, until, if this article is accurate, the 4th quarter. The cushions and soft zones we were playing were ultimately called by Haslett.

To be honest with no Rak i would think we would be better off. 3-4 doesn't work if you dont have OLB's that can get after the Q. Right now we only have 1.

texasthunder Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Well to me the questions I have are: 1) Is the article posted on HH actually true? 2) Do you let Haslett have some more games, like to the bye week to change things around? 3) Would the team, specifically the defense improve under Morris? 4) Or is it better to let them work together till the end of the year? As I said in the other thread, personally I would love to see Morris as the DC. But we dont know what actually going on behind closed doors. I just dont see them making a change after regular season games have started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 No one would have thought that the offense would be ahead of the defense right now. I don't think it's that huge of a deal since they are obviously 1 & 1A when it comes to being D.Coordinators, titles be damned. What's more alarming to me is why Haslett was so adamant in sticking with zone when it was getting torched all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dballer Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 yeah.. but we are running a bit of a hybrid 3-4.honestly, with Orakpo out for the season.. we are probably better off going forward if we have 4 people on the line most of the time as opposed to the opposite. If we put 2 DT's and 2 DE's up there.. we only drop 3 LB'ers.. Kerrigan, Fletch, Riley. Jenkins, Bowen, Cofield, Golston up front w/ Kerrigan, Fletch and Riley in the back .. sounds wayyyyy better.. . than... having Rob Jackson dropping into coverage with only 3 guys on the line. Without Orakpo I wouldn't be surprised to see more 4 down linemen regardless of who the Coach is. But, we will definitely keep running plenty of 3-4. The defense has to continue to grow in the 34 set for future gains. ---------- Post added September-19th-2012 at 11:30 AM ---------- No one would have thought that the offense would be ahead of the defense right now.

DC9 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 How much experience does Raheem have in the 3-4? I'd say about 8 quarters... lol That said... Tomlin came from the same defense he did, granted, he has Dick LeBeau... In all seriousness... I think he's got enough of a grasp and is enough of a football mind to call the defense. He's been here all offseason and he knows the players. He also has London Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Let me just say, for those advocating moving to a 4-3, we do not want Golston as a starter. The Rams ran through him all day. I like him as a backup, but having him out there all day would be a mistake. If, IF, *IF* we for some reason moved towards a 4-3, you'd have to do Jenkins, Bowen, Cofield, Kerrigan in the front, and Fletcher, Riley, and either Wilson or Jackson as the 3 LBs. Though the simple answer is we do not have the DL depth to run the 4-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
