Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!

I'm glad they signed him because our defense really killed us last year. Unlike our offense which was a juggernaut.

This is another disastrous move by Cerratto/Snyder. They are not about addressing needs, they are about selling a once great brand to the masses who don't have the sense to know any better. To Dan Snyder there is only money. That's his whole universe.

I wonder what the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles interior linemen are thinking right about now?

Yes, we're absolutely a 4-3 defense. The rest is just speculation at this point.

Haynesworth will start at the nose. Griffin will take the 3 shade. Carter will be the right end. I have no idea who will start at LE. I think Daniels will probably come back at vet minimum, but it's hard for me to see Jason Taylor there as a three down end. We've already made that mistake once...

Fletch in the middle, and I think Rocky will shift over to the strong side. I could see either Blades, or Taylor, or even a draft pick at weak side LB.

Then you have Hall and Rogers at the corners and Landry and Horton at the safeties, and that's pretty straightforward.

I would consider taking Maualuga with the first round pick if we get some free agent help on the OL. Right now, the defenses biggest weakness is the increasing attrition rate with Fletcher's age, and the fact that we are absolutely reliant on getting another 16 game season from him. He's a warrior, but is that a gamble we really should be taking?

I agree with this analysis and I think Taylors main position in 2009 will change dramatically depending on who we draft. If we draft Maualuga, then obviously Taylor would spend more time at DE. However, if we draft an OT, i think its more likely Taylor would play mostly LB and we bring back Evans or Daniels to play DE or even consider moving Monty there. In that scenario, Daniels is the most likely option... we could have him for the vet minimum, which would be next to free considering the cap credit teams get for signing older players.

One other thing i'm not so sure about is Horton and Landry as our SS and FS, respeectively. I'm prediciting right now that Landry moves back to SS this year with Kareem Moore as our starting FS on opening day.

They are going to say, "their Offense still needs help".

Well, with Stacey Andrews signing with the Eagles Shawn is probably just thinking about the chance to play with bro. However the rest of the East doesn't have such a pleasant distraction at the moment.

The guy I'd be interested to see a reaction from though is Gurode now that he has to face Haynesworth twice a year now.

Offseason isn't over. We can still sign another free agent on offense, and there's the draft. We do need to address the OL, for sure. But we also need to get our Thomas, Kelly, and Davis out there to complement Moss, Portis, and Cooley and together with JC's growth the offense should improve.

Investing so much in Haynesworth does present a bit of a risk but it potentially takes our defense to an elite level which makes the team much better...and we don't have to look to Ryan Boschetti for depth anymore. Now starters like Golston finally go to where they belong (solid depth on the bench)

Disastrous move is quite hyperbolic

Haynesworth seems to genuinely regret what he did, and i would not be surprised at all if Haynesworth has "made up" with Gurode over the incident. He could have been lying to get the job, but he told Cerrato his suspension for doing that is what ""woke him up" and made him realize he needed to get his act together.

hey its been awhile but i just wanted to put this out there, sorry didnt read all so i dont know if its been put out at all......

Whats the big deal that he stepped on the guys face? Thats a plus in my book. That stuff happened every week back in the day and was just a part of football. Now it is too violent and not good sportsmanship. He should have received a bonus for every stitch the guy had to get.

Just in case Demetric Evans had any doubts about the Skins bringing him back ....

Assuming a 50% markup all the Skins need to do is sell 2.9 million of those things and Albert Haynesworth pays for himself!
