Re: Recent Switches to 3-4 Defense Usually Mean Improvement

I understand that some fans don't like him; and for good reason.
The man is an asshat, but he's a damn good football player.
My memory isn't so short that I forgot what type of player Haynesworth can be:
Imo you begin with and design your scheme around your best players.
Imo no real attempt was made, in fact they did everything but try to sell him.
They were playing games with him from the start.
All I'm saying is that the Haynesworth debacle was a 2 way failure between him and the staff.

Oh, make no mistake I think the defense will improve this year.
In my last post I was pointing out the mistakes I saw last year.

I think the major weaknesses on defense have been addressed via the draft and some of the other answers were stumbled upon at the end of the season.

I think Jarvis Jenkins is a huge upgrade over Golston at DE and will provide valueable rotational snaps at NT.
I think Jarmon can/(will if given the chance) add some upfield pass rush ability from the RDE spot.

I think Bryant can start at NT and provide a good number of quality snaps.
I think Kemo (if he's still on the roster) will be better as a role playing rotational NT behind Bryant.
I think Chris Nield will provide quality snaps at NT.
