Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett likes what he sees from his defense this season. The past four years, Haslett’s job was made tougher as head coach Mike Shanahan continually tinkered with the defense, according to people within the organization. Now, the club has committed $26 million in guaranteed money to retain LB Brian Orakpo and DT Chris Baker. Haslett is optimistic that the team will generate more of a pass rush, and he’s also excited about improvement in the secondary.
