There you go. Read it and share your opinion.

Looks right to me. Danny Smith must have a very good relationship with Mike Shanahan to not be living in fear of his job. Last year the team couldn't block for field goals. This year, it's punts. Always something.

I would also like to say that after 3 seasons,haslett's defense is as pitiful as danny smith's special teams are. i would not be shocked to see him get canned after the season,and raheem morris promoted to DC.

Morris has never called a 3-4 in his life, he has been in the Tampa 2 scheme his entire career. This personnel has been setup for the 3-4. Yeah, you can call Orakpo and Kerrigan 4-3 DE's, but who is going to play OLB's? Riley is a ILB or MLB and he wouldn't supplant Fletcher in the lineup. Alexander as much as we love him is little more than a special teamer. Maybe Chris Wilson? And none of this would solve the problems in the back 4 playing so much soft zone it could be served in an ice cream cone.

This defense has given up over 30 points in 6 of the last 7 games. Orakpo and Kerrigan are not elite pass rushers. No scheme is going to change that.
