New possible trade/draft scenarios

You know what's going to happen they will trade him for a player & some draft picks, then we will have an Offense & no Defense & people will be yelling why we cant stop anyone.

Sorry, quoted the wrong one. I meant to put the one that says we will go downhill on D if he leaves......cant find it tho.

Nah, I disagree. Our defense was fine without A.H., and we didn't have orakpo then either. Our defense will be fine without him, decided we go that route. I wish he would get serious and commit and get hyped about going to the superbowl with this new look squad. He could really take steps to become a locker room leader, but he doesn't. He keeps to himself and doesn't take part in what amounts to team building exercises, like the off season workouts and meetings. He should be the defensive player IN CHARGE, a captain on the other side of the ball. I dont get him. The opportunity is right in front of him, yet he remains standoffish and quiet. He is richer than 99.9% of the world, and famous at the same time. so what gives? Be a leader, give your all, and he could do great things, and get the ppl around him to do great things. I mean, look what he helped Carter and Orakpo and the rest of our defense do in a year where he played very much below his potential. He has the potential to be the best damn DLineman ever to play the game.

I hope he gets his act strait and starts becoming the leader he should be. He has all the strength and potential in the world, and he should use that to get to the big time, the super bowl. Use this season to prove everyone wrong that says the trade was a bust, and he is overpaid.

Part of becoming a team leader also entails that you cannot be anti-social either Albert.

Harewood is a BIG dude, 6'6"-350lbs, he projects as a guard due to his size and quickness in space. He is also a 2-3 yr project because of lack of experience; he is from Barbados until recently, and lack of quality competition. Everywhere that I have read has him projected as a 6-7th rd or undrafted. Calloway, Newhouse, and Wang all are rated higher in the boards I have seen as potential 4th rounders. Fox is an option in the 4th, but he has several medical red flags.

Do you mean short area quickness? Because if he has size and quickness in space he becomes an ideal tackle prospect.

That basically says he is slower than feces with a consistency of molasses exiting a small poop chute??

The 'Skins won't find anyone willing to take Portis off of their hands because he has around 8 mil coming to him, and that's guaranteed. It looks like we overpaid him along with Haynesworth. But that was Dan and Vinny, and I hope we find some desperate team willing to take both of them.

well that's what he played mostly, but played guard @ texas vs the nation

stood out in practices at senior bowl as RT and LT

lack of recovery speed if beaten initially I've read.. so still prob a guard prospect

Best post on this was the poster(forget who it was) told it was like it is. AH is a lazy slacker, and simply doesn't fit into a 3-4 scheme. Why we gave the guy suck a crazy contract still boggles my mind. Our team was not going to improve significantly with AH on board since the offense was the weakest link. Shoot the Bruce Smith acquisition was better than this.

Both AH and Smith had productive years for us. They were grand slams compared to Lloyd, Archuletta and Duckett.

He never displayed leadership qualities in Tennessee, why would he change? Because we paid him 40 mil guaranteed? Just because you pay someone a lot of money, they aren't going to magically become someone else. In fact, when generational money is involved, their bad habits are most likely going to be magnified.

Why is he a bust? He was a 4-3 defensive tackle who dominated the point of attack and played over 70% of the plays (Wilfork played a lot less and Ratliff played the exact same %).

Was "become a team leader" a line item in his contract? Did we have a line item that said we were going to allow our underqualified idiot head coach to run us into the ground and then move to a 3-4 in 2010?

If you think that offering someone 40 million will automatically make them pick up leadership qualities, I think the problem is with you not them.

It would be nice to have some stability around here and know what kind of offense/defense we're going to be running for longer than a year before signing these FA's. AH was paid a lot of money but I doubt he was told he'd be asked to play a different position a year after he signed.

Wait!!! How can he be a top 10/Pro Bowl [DT] unless he shows fire and determination?!? If he's not shouting and passionate he can't be a real leader.

When AH is on the field (and he played more snaps then any of the other DLine) he is a force. I don't care if he is the defensive leader, just that he is helping to put McN.. err Kolb, Manning, and Romo on the ground.

AH made our short yardage defense positively ferocious.
