Name 1 optimistic thing you like about this years team/future.
Name 1 negative thing you hate about this years team/future.
I'll start:
I think Jordan Reed is going to be a great Tight End
We are not consistent on offense or defense.

on the plus side we have a QB and a number of good young players to build around
on the negative side we are not seeing the results from good coaching

RG3 will benefit from having a full off season to prepare and a better 'fit' at both HC and OC

+ Personnel department
- Coaching
I'm starting to believe that when the players perform well on the field, they do so in spite of the coaching staff.

We have a lot of good, young players on offense.
We are not great in the trenches on either side of the ball

+ RGIII/Cousins. I think we're set at QB for the foreseeable future.
- I'm worried the defense is too much of a mess to be fixed in the foreseeable future.

I think we have some good, young players on both sides of the ball.
We are weak along the O-line, and at Safety.

+ Jordan Reed will be a top 5 TE going forward
- Jim Haslett. The time has come for him to get the ax. This once proud defense is an absolute mess right now. Get him out of here before next year or nothing will change!! and go back to a 4-3. Get Rak and Kerrigan with their hands in the dirt on every snap like they did in college and lets get after the QB. No one bothers to run the rock anymore but us.

+ RGIII. I still think he's the real deal and will be a point of pride for us for years to come.
- Our secondary. We have some prospects but nothing solid, and the few decent starters we have are aging. (Amerson is the lone exception.)

I don't know what's wrong with the defense. It looks OK on paper, but on the field it looks like one uncontested pass after the other is completed and assignment after assignment or tackle is missed against the run. Why? Players much worse than they're supposed to be or absolutely horrible defensive schemes and coaching, or maybe both? If in charge, I would fire the DC, maybe now. Luckily, Phillip Thomas will be back next year and if we shift back to 4-3 we're set at linebacker. It appears that shifting to the 3-4 was a grave mistake. We're getting no pressure from the DL now, nor are we tough against the run. A new DC could shuffle and fix, perhaps, enough to give us an average defense.
Robert, Alfred, Garcon. Reed, Williams are truly formidable. We've really got to work on the OL or Robert will never develop, so that's a top priority. Hankerson might develop. In my opinion, we should draft for offensive linemen and hire a new DC to shift up back to a 4-3. If we can buy or steal on top WR let's do it. Special teams need an overhaul.

Does it really, though? Serious question. Whatever Haslett's shortcomings are, my impression is that we still have too many "average at best" type players on defense and safety is still a big problem.
Some of you guys seem very knowledgeable about how well individual defensive players have been playing. Any comment?

+ We have enough talent to win
- We have poor enough at the Spaecial teams coach and the Defensive coordinator to keep that talent from winning.

Kerrigan, Orakpo, Hall, Bowen, and Cofield are definitely above average players, IMO. You could even make the argument for Riley and Merriweather, too. We all know Fletcher is past his prime, but on paper I agree that we should be much better.

You could even add Amerson to that list. He's gonna be a star one day.
