Man. What an interesting turn of events.

He wasn't happy last year in the "type" of 4-3 the skins ran and he sure wasn't happy with this faux 3-4 they run now. There is such a gap of difference between him and other professionals. I understand not being happy in the system, but he was everything to be "his" way. Just look at his comments on the radio show:

"I want to show how I can play. They paid me this money, let me play like I played in Tennessee. I will show you. I made a lot of plays in Tennessee; I can do the same thing here. All you got to do is take off the dadgum leash and let me loose and you will see how great I am."

I understand a player wants a defense to play to his strength, but it seems Haynesworth wants 10 other guys to do what they are suppose to while he can do whatever he wants. I'm sure other defensive players would like to be doing something else (like Andre Carter), but you haven't heard anything from them.

Fletcher would never say I expect to blitz on 75% of all downs because that's what I like to do. Haynesworth just isn't a team guy.
