Jim Hazmat with another horrible game plan as the Packers have a franchise high passing and running totals. Hey TCC, who is the tool now?



So glad to see that RGIII is yukking it up, like he is having such a great time???!! Are you serious with that?? Didn't realize that today was anything to celebrate Robert.

Evidently Haslett up in a booth is safety for him.

This has got to stop. period.  This isn't the same team who gelled together at the end of last season; it isn't in the same universe to compare to.  Yes, Rodgers and the Packers are a very good team, but that lackluster performance on all sides of the ball is unacceptable.

 

Haslett has been disappointing forever, and I never thought i'd see the day when I wanted Snyder to step in and demand something be done with Haslett, but this is unacceptable.

There's a reason Shanny has only won ONE playoff game in 14 years.

Excellent at finding offensive nuggets in the draft, solid offensive game plans, PUTRID defenses.  Haslett has been mediocre to awful everywhere he's been, other than one good year at Pittsburgh...whose defense improved significantly after he left.  Like Mike Nolan, he managed to be in the right place at the right time one year, and parlayed that into an entire career.

The secondary is filled with overrated players and rookies. Frankly, this should have been expected.

 

 

no one acknowledges any quality on our DBs except the rookies.  How can they be overrated?

 

Put Merriweather on IR and forget about him.  Work out Biggers at S some more.

 

Put Baker or Merling in more at DE over Golston

Or suck it up and give the gay safety a call. No pun intended.

 

Maybe even think about Byrd in Buffalo. Not sure how they could fit him under the cap, though.

 

Put a little pressure on the NFL to take a look at the Jackson situation.

 

Do something. The safeties are all just turrible.

How do you scheme around a secondary that bad?  There isn't a single player back there who's really worth a damn.

 

DHall is done

Wilson is small and constantly overmatched

Biggers is a mediocre low-end free-agent

Amerson is a rookie question mark

Rambo is a rookie and is playing about as bad as a rookie can

Doughty scares no one

And the list goes on...

 

They just got sliced and diced by Aaron Rodgers and it was tough to watch.  But how the hell is Haslett supposed to hide these guys?  He has to play them... can't keep them on the bench.  So what do you do?

 

All you can do against a player of Rodgers caliber is play sound, make tackles and try and limit bit plays.  But guess what?  They didn't, they didn't and they didn't. Strike 3 and yerout!

Player Notes on Defense

 

DB:

 

-We're starting Rambo too soon, Amerson is expected to make some mistakes, and I don't feel too bad about the situation with our rookies.

 

-We were almost rid of DeAngelo Hall, then when nobody else wanted him we decided to bring him back for some reason. We know what he is. He cannot play man, he's so-so in zone, he doesn't have his incredible speed anymore, and he talks **** and spreads his terrible attitude all over the field.

 

-Reed Doughty is an average at best football player, and more frequently than not he isn't at his best. He used to at least be a decent tackler, but he can't even do that well anymore. He's out of position on plays, which shouldn't happen at this point in his career, and I don't understand what the upside is which keeps him hanging around year after year, much less keeps him as a regular part of the defensive rotation. I'd rather throw a scarecrow with a redskins jersey onto the field and have him play safety for us than continue to put Reed Doughty out there.

 

Note: If I hear anybody tell me about how super-dy duper important it is to have great special teams players on the roster please spare me the bull****. That kind of crap is an excuse for keeping players like Doughty and Paul around when they really serve no useful purpose on our roster.

 

DL:

 

-Brian Orakpo is a defensive end. He should never have been made a linebacker. He's a defensive end.

 

-While Ryan Kerrigan is a good transition OLB, I cannot help but imagine how much better he would be at his natural DE position.

 

-Barry Cofield is a 4-3 DT playing NT for us. He's a big man, but he doesn't play like it inside against double teams. He gets sealed off of inside runs and misdirection painfully easily.

 

LB:

 

-London Fletcher is finished. He stayed around a year too long because he thought he smelled a superbowl ring. This isn't a knock on the man, but his body has reached the intersection point between rising age and diminishing ability. He had a great career, but he's starting to look like he's standing still and not being a factor in the run game.

 

-Perry Riley is a good football player. He would make a good 4-3 MLB.

 

-Rob Jackson needs his suspension to be over. He would make a good 4-3 OLB.

 

Coaching/Other:

 

Everyone is accountable for this problem. We are 4 years into a 3-4 conversion and in year 4 of the same defensive coordinator. We have two 4-3 DE's playing out of position at OLB. We have a good 4-3 DT playing out of position at NT. We have decent 4-3 DT's playing DE. Why are we not a 4-3 again? What is the advantage we seem to be gaining from being a 3-4 defense? I'm not really sure what we're supposed to look like, but perhaps we wouldn't look like the team that gave up more yards to Aaron Rodgers than anyone ever, or like the first team in 45 games to allow a 100 yard rusher from Green Bay, or a team that let up 30+ points for the second straight week.

 

Jim Haslett cannot stop using the "Carlos Cushion". I will never understand this. Why the **** did we draft some 6'3 200+ pound cornerback if we're going to play him 10+ yards off the WR all game? Can we ever get a ****ing jam at the line of scrimmage? Can we disrupt a timing route for once? Can we not simply allow a minimum 5-8 yard completion as a given? I can only imagine that this problem includes Raheem Morris, and therefore I cannot see him as our savior. Amerson should be used physically, and so should Josh Wilson. What is wrong with bump and run? What is wrong with jamming and releasing to a short zone with cover 2 over the top? Why are we playing this **** secondary?

 

I'm not advocating a course of action, just that I'd rather watch this defense as a 4-3 with Kerrigan and Orakpo putting their hands in the dirt, and a secondary which is all over the WR all day long. Hell, Green Bay has played tight coverage ever since Charles Woodson went there, and they've kept it up now that he's left. All of our short stuff, quick throws, slants, etc. seemed to take a half a second longer to develop. All of our short throws were basically contested or broken up. Players got hit right away if they did get the ball, and guys like Josh Morgan ended up making a mistake like deflecting a perfect pass upwards for an interception.

 

I guess I'm just really pissed off that we're looking so terrible on defense, but I've seen this before. Maybe after we suck like this for 7-8 games Jim Haslett will figure something out which will allow us to limit the other team to 20 points per game instead of 30 and we'll start winning because our offense *usually* isn't totally crap if we're not playing in an instantaneous 14-0 hole, and people can come in here and comment on how much improved we are and how we'll probably look EVEN BETTER next year. He's been doing this for 4 years. I wanted him fired after the start to last season.

 

Ask yourselves if Jim Haslett seems like he'll ever coach a top 10 defense in Washington. If the answer is no, which it should be at this point, ask yourself what the point is to defending him or keeping him on as a coach.

Well, in Wilson's defense, he isn't a bad CB at all; actually he's one of the few on the team who can cover.

So why does Haslett constantly send him in on a blitz, leaving inexperienced secondary players to cover WRs the caliber Gb has?

 

Its all Haslett knows; wither play zone or call blitz. There are plenty of fairly decent players on defense, they're just utilized wrong, at the wrong times.  Predictable, if you will.

Give me a dartboard with the plays on it, and I think I can put something together.

Honestly, a system where you picked what the DL was doing by throwing at 1 dartboard, what the LB's were doing by throwing at a 2nd, and what the secondary was doing while throwing at the third would probably be way more successful and creative than what Jim Haslett is currently calling. At the minimum it couldn't possibly be worse.

Haslett tried it but kept missing the dart board.  I believe he's up in the booth reading 'Defense for Dummies' and watching porn, when all he has to do is watch the game and see his wonderful defense get ****ed every week...

Scary part is GB gained 139 yards rushing without their starting RB for most of the game.  Starks shredded the Skins' D as McCoy did last week which continues the trend from late last season.  The once stout run defense for the Skins is nowhere close to that level now.

 

And Aaron Rodgers could have EASILY passed for 600 yards today if he needed to. 

 

When you coach a defense that can't stop the run, gets destroyed in the passing game and can't tackle then that is a bad combination for which someone has to eventually be accountable...
