The Washington Redskins have been drawing criticism from everywhere lately between the constant battle over the team name and the team's poor play. On Sunday, former linebacker London Fletcher joined the fray when he made some very critical comments about defensive coordinator Jim Haslett.
Jeff Fisher Trolls Washington Before Game
According to media reports, Fletcher, who now works as an analyst for CBS, was questioning why Haslett still has a job with Washington. Fletcher claims that Haslett is an extermely poor manager of his team and players. Fletcher played under Haslett for four years, and he even went so far as to claim that on the field, he would routinely audible away from the plays that Haslett called.
"Why does Jim Haslett still have his job as a defensive coordinator after five years now of just ineptitude at the defensive coordinator position?" asked Fletcher.
"He's clueless as a defensive coordinator. He lacks attention to detail. He lacks feel on how to call a game. Some of the calls he used to call when I was playing were head-scratching. They were so bad, I used to change them, like, 'We're not running that.' And we'd get off the field and he would ask, 'Why did you change the call.' (I would say), 'Because that's just a dumb call. That's why I changed it.'"
RGIII's Attitude Killing His Career?
Fletcher went on beyond those harsh words, adding, "For years he has always made excuses. One minute it was 'We're changing from the 3-4 and we don't have the right personnel.' Next minute it is salary cap. Next minute it is Mike Shanahan. Next minute it is injuries. Mike Shanahan recognized early that this guy does not know what he is doing. And he tried to help him out....And what does Jim Haslett do? He threw [Shanahan] under the bus just like he throws everybody under the bus, players and coaches included."
Washington performed poorly on the field again on Sunday, suffering a 24-0 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Rams. Haslett has yet to respond to the comments made by Fletcher.
