I do agree that calling Haynesworth the teams starting NT was a comment primarily directed at Haynesworth - the big guy needs to swallow his pride and learn his place. We've brought in a couple dozen defensive linemen to compete for a roster spot, and instead of showing up and competing and practicing with his team, he's acting like he's above the team and staying away because he doesnt like whats going on. Shanahan's the head coach. Haynesworth needs to take a lesson from Clinton Portis and recognize that. We brought in two accomplished veteran RBs to compete with him. Instead of pouting and creating a fuss, he's shed his diva persona and is working out hard with the team, trying to prove to the new regime that he's worth keeping around. Haynesworth needs to get his butt inline.

I'd say that's a stretch especially since we haven't even seen him coach a single snap yet.
Besides, George Edwards was pretty much a disaster in 2003. And if we're going back 10 years to '99, Mike "vanilla" Nolan was pretty bad. And of course Blache has his share of critics too.
