Albert Haynesworth

Albert Hayneswerth slipped in the draft because people were concerned about his dedication to football and about some of his less-than-constuctive relationships with his college teammates. That's how he fell to Tennessee; he has plenty of raw talent.

Ignoring the criminal aspects of the following analogy, I suspect that Haynesworth is a latter day Darrell Russell. Does not always stay in shape; does not play full speed on every play; is not the most popular guy in your locker room. Yes, Russell had one fantastic season and has a boatload of talent. Likewise, Hayneworth has a lot of talent. But we did see what an unmotivated Darrell Russell is worth. Do you want to take a risk on an encore performance?

I'll pass, thank you.

Dead on analysis Defense. This guy would've went alot higher in the draft were it not for these kinds of concerns, and now it seems the worries were founded. We don't need this guy. Now Joe Johnson at DE might be a different story- if he's healthy......

Whos Johnson play for?

Whos Johnson play for?

I think we are all forgetting something though. If he did get cut, 1- how will we afford him under the cap? 2- We have some of the best well respected coaches around with Blanche and Bugel and of course Gibbs, his attitude would quickly be a non issue. I'd LOVE to have this guy. He's just about ready to enter stardom, love to see him achieve it in a skins uni.

Fine, if he gets cut and we can sign him for the minimum - Sure, take a flyer on him at the minimum but don't take on any cap risk other than his salary.

Ain't nobody motivated this guy yet and, great coaches that they may be, Gibbs & co. are still human (yes I said it). This guy's head aint right and he don't seem to care. Gibbs or no Gibbs, ain't nobody gonna MAKE Haynesworth care except Hayesworth.
