Make of it what you will.

WTF! A coaching controversy? I want to cry.

IF this is true, than this team may already be ending their season before it really even started. This is basically the beginning of the end of our season, because players taking sides and a defense thats already lost 2 of their best players isn't going to get much better with coaching problems.

I don't know, that might be a little dramatic man. I think the players want to WIN.

[RedskinRat]

Are we going to have to start a suicide watch after one loss? What the eff is up with people?

[CRedskinsRule]

I know the answer:

Bingo.

Who is this "source"?

If it's true, they just need to can Has now and move on. The team can totally survive this if they want. How many times have we seen the Giants and other teams weather internal conflicts and go on to the playoffs.

This. Haslett has never impressed, and his lack of adjustments will continually haunt this team. I'd give the reigns to Morris and see what happens for the rest of the season.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Morris takes over as DC next year, assuming the D doesn't get straightened out over the course of this season.

Right now though, I think this may be a bit overblown.

This article is all speculation. There has not been any indication that Morris was making the calls. The article states that players were choosing sides: What evidence is there of this? Also the article quotes Shannahan, but it is not an actual quote, it is a speculation of what Shannahan might be thinking.

Not speculation at all. ES insiders have verified that this did in fact happen, but it was supposed to stay in house. Been saying that Haslett has been on the hot seat for a while now, and that seat just got hotter. Much hotter.

Neither one of them really know shit.

I thought about this as the Rams game went own. But I didnt voice my opinion to not sound so knee jerky.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I won't lie, I DID see something heated going on with Haslett and Morris, but not necessarily between each other. Both were just screaming at something, not sure it was about that though.

See, the problem is this: if Shanahan wasn't pleased with the defensive playcalling all he had to do was tell Haslett to play more man. Did they even game plan? I hate to continue to beat a dead horse but, Shanahan seemed to drop the ball a few times this game.
