I was watching the Patriots/Jets game yesterday where the Jets were using Kris Jenkins at Nose Tackle and if Haynesworth plays anything like Jenkins (in which case he should play better) then we're in luck. Of course on the first play I watched it seemed like Jenkins was just playing patty cake with the Center. I don't know if thats because he was taking a play off or if he was really careful about playing both 'A' gaps.

The next play however Jenkins just exploded off the line, blew back the center, and tackled the running back for a 3 yard loss. Next play he destroys the center again (and this is a Patriots O-line thats among the best in the league at pass blocking) and barely misses the sack as his teammate got it (though lets not forget that Jenkins blowing back the Center forced Cassel to stay put giving his teammate off the edge a perfect shot). 3rd down Cassel somehow finds a way to scramble despite Jenkins blowing up the play again so with that said I guess we're not totally immune to QB's stepping up with a dominant inside force but considering the score was 24-6 Jets at the time I wouldn't doubt the impact that a dominant big man can have on a game.
