If we lose our best defensive player, hopefully Haynesworth if you just paid him $46M guaranteed, then our defensive line would look pedestrian. Our solution would be to call Jason Taylor's fatter brother and see if we could trade a 2nd or 3rd for him.
The fact is that competitively built NFL teams do not build depth as shallow as ours. Haynesworth's exceptional ability at DT does not provide additional depth beyond his roster spot.

We had the 4th rank defense without Haynesworth.
We both want the Skins to succeed! If you want to be disappointed that's fine and I understand the point you are making.
I simply choose to enjoy the offseason moves, and be excited for the quality players brought in.
