I still think that if there is a disagreement between AH and MS, things would have been much better if both sides had a mutual conversation.

Haynesworth is a downfield pass rusher. Using him as a space eating NT is just as ridiculous as using Orakpo as a 4-3 OLB or using Landry as a FS. The whole using AH as a NT goes along with the issue of why are we trying to run a 3-4 defense when we don't have the personnel to do so. Everyone bitches at AH because they are still sulking b/c stupid ass Vinny gave him 100 mil contract. Yet they disregard the fact that this move to the 3-4 is risky with the personnel we have.

Had there been some type of dialogue, then the appearance of a rift between AH and the team would not have happened. And it would have put the Redskins into a better position of negotiating a Haynesworth trade to a team with a 4-3 defense. Instead, there appears to be the perception that the Redskins have a problem, and it could be the reason why teams may have been low balling the Redskins in a possible trade.

Personally, the best thing for the team to happen is for AH to show up in shape (he has to be leaner if he wants to sell the idea of being a 3-4 DE) and for Shanahan to put him as a DE in our 3-4 defense.
