JC was a WCO QB at Auburn (and as we all found out quickly -- not a downfield passer), Hayneworth came to the skins because he didn't have to hold up blockers (and why he currently wants out), Orakpo did rush the QB, ARE as a return guy was only because they didn't want to use Moss and had no one else (which they ended up having to use Moss because of how poorly ARE played). As far as the DBs, playing off the ball, that was part scheme and part player. Blanche would critize the DBs for that.
JC was a West coact Qb in college...OK just so happened he had two top 5 picks in his backfield. I dont care what the hell offense you run in college its not the pros. Two most important aspects to a WC QB 1.)Quick release 2.) Quick decision maker....let me recall for a sec....oh yea that were 2 things JC WAS AWFUL AT!! Case in point that he was never a good fit to be an NFL(sorry I didnt declare that detail before I figured we would be talking about NFL skills) West Coast QB.
Now to Haynesworth, I happen to remember that Haynesworth was complaining for the last 2 months of the season that Blache wasn't letting him get up field I get the links to the story if you didnt follow the Redskins at all toward the end you might not have heard that whole debacle. Also Haslett said that Haynesworth would play all positions at D-Line, and more then likely he will be a DE with Keomatu at NT and Carriker at the DE.
Orakpo did rush the passer your right. Jim Haslett said "Orakpo rushed the QB about 250 times out of 1000 snaps". I dont want him playing effing OLB 75 % of the time. His best ability is to rush the passer so when he only does that 25% of the time its not putting him in the best chance to be successful and make the greatest impact. So your argument of "Orakpo did rush the passer" yea well you could say the same about Reed Doughty because he had a sack last year. So since he was out in coverage or on gap assignment 75% of the time he was out there I am going to say he was an OLB when he should of been a DE. Before you try to say "Well hes going to be an OLB this year" because you sound like you would make such an asinine argument, an OLB in 3-4 is basically a 4-3 DE.
Now on to ARE....this one just makes you look football challenged. What about Devin Thomas, Deangelo Hall, Justin Tryon, and yea you mentioned Santana. Hmm...Why the hell wouldn't they use Santana? Oh wait now I remember, because he was such a huge cog to our heavily potent offense couldn't afford to put him back their to get a spark. This Coaching staff stuck with Randle El because they were vaginas. They were scared someone else would fumble. We had plenty of other people to do it. Would they have been spectacular at it and had 5 returns for TD's...who knows? What I do know is they wouldn't of had to do too much to have a better PR avg. then ARE who had one of the worst in the league, and 1 TD would have been an improvement over 0. They never took a chance to try anything another example of being stubborn. I also remember the story were Zorn said in a post presser that they wouldn't be using ARE anymore. Then the press asked ARE and he responded that he hadn't heard that, and that he was going to talk to Zorn about it. A week later guess who was back at punt return?
The DB's playing that far off was part scheme you say. Well then that means the coaching staff was at some fault and didn't put them in the absolute best position to take advantage of their best attributes. I guess Laron just liked being 30 yards of the ball, I am sure that was his choice too, since the guy lives to play in the box.

What about the insane amount of broken tackles -- was that scheme? Getting stops when we needed them -- that was also an issue; did this have anything to do with the amount of time our D spent on the field? Did it come down to a test of wills? Or was it scheme?
....I just watched the Caps lose game 7...I'm too depressed to keep arguing this
You missed the links as the climax.. dag man .. 
maybe a prelude of a present #23 in action for our first game???.. see how I methodically used that highlight for my D. Hall point? .. Dag, I'm a genious..
