When he's actually playing, he's good. But I'm very hesitant to call him the top, without question, defensive tackle in the league. At the rate he's going right now, it will take him another year or two to become the defensive tackle he was with Tennessee.

I think that as long as our players don't beat women or hurt children theres always the potential for forgiveness. Especially when they produce on the field. Portis attitude adjustment and Landry's flat out dominance are perfect examples of that. People were practically begging the front office to get rid of these guys now the fan base loves them. If Haynesworth put fourth the same effort and somehow bought into the system he would see the same reaction from the fans. And trust me the potential is there, at least as it relates to his on the field ability.
Of course Shanahan's history suggest that Haynesworth will leave sooner rather then later but a guy can dream.
