Haslett to lead Skins Defense

[mudloggerone]

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Redskins have settled on former Saints and Rams coach Jim Haslett as the new defensive coordinator.

The Newark Star-Ledger seconds the report. After coaching with the Rams for three seasons, Haslett spent 2009 leading the UFL runner-up Florida Tuskers. When Mike Zimmer opted to stay in Cincinnati, Haslett immediately became the favorite in D.C. 'Skins coach Mike Shanahan is believed to have his mind set on a 3-4 defense, and Haslett is well versed in the system after running it in Pittsburgh in the late 90s. Jan. 12 - 9:27 pm et

He's up to the job IMO and is a good man for the job.

Our defense wasn't that bad this year. I hope he can improve them. We definitely need to shore up the defensive line.

Just keep him away from the offense GTL because he ain't worth squat on that side of the ball.

Agreed Mud!! LOL

Ok....so now we are going to bank on Albert Haynesworth playing the nose?

Ok....so now we are going to bank on Albert Haynesworth playing the nose?

Haslett has also used the 4-3 so I wouldn't worry much about Haynesworth. That d will definitely be aggressive and likely fantasy-relevant. Hello late round pick investment.

Haynesworth is a freaking load, I wouldn't worry about him at the nose position.
