I would not break the bank on Haynesworth . He is playing great now because he is in the last year of his contract . Give him 25 million up front , he might not be so motivated to get up and workout everyday . As far as our lack of a pass rush , our front 4 have no explosiveness , it has nothing to do with scheme on 3rd and 10 . We need an end and DT as well as help on the OL .

Let's just Draft "Mount" Cody from alabama, he's exactly what we need in the middle of the dline. I think our ends are fine but they always get double covered because our interior pass rush is so weak.

I'm starting to get the impression that Blache would rather have a pass rushing linebacker then an elite DE. If thats true I would look out for Suggs assuming the Ravens don't franchise him.

Time to get rid of M. Washington and S. Springs. I like them both and they have been great assets to our team but with their constant injuries they are hurting us more than helping.
I think we need to use the draft as a way to build back our lines.

Time to start looking for a new field goal kicker. Add that to our list.

Draft, Draft, Draft!!!
I think a lot of people are mistaking a lack of exucution from this team as a lack of talent; I'd argue that we have a fair amount of young talent on this team but we need more, and we need it desperately on the O-line. I think Zorn and the players just need another year to work out the kinks, if our trio from last year can get their s#*+ together and we have a good draft next offseason I think this team will develop into a real contender.
Unfortunately we're still going to be duking it out with the likes of DAL and NY, but we're not too far off as it is and if we develop our young talent we could certainly catch up. NY seems to have done a great job drafting the past few years, especially on that D-line, we have to hope we can do the same.
That said, Haynesworth is a beast. I'd be totally on board for that move, but even if we do manage to sign him I'd still look to draft DL. IMHO we only really have 3 areas of needs . . . aside from wr, we gotta hope the boys'll pan out, we simply can't justify landing another wr . . . OL, DL, and LB. If we improve just the O-line we're a good team. We improve both OL and DL, we're a very good team; and if this years rooks can finally step up, and contribute ANYTHING we're a great team.
Hail to the future!!
Good post and I agree. You are not going to get any good lineman via free agency because they get wrapped in long term deals until they are no longer that good. It's called draft, which is something we don't so. Same thing with defensive line. The Redskins are one of the only franchises in the NFL that has a disdain and aversion to drafting Lineman.
