Clayton reports Haynesworth is getting more calls than even HE expected. Everyone is willing to go 15-16 mil a year.

Maybe that's why the team is going after Canty.

Better get him. Guys got a 75 rating from Scout.com and thats not easy to get. Of course Haynesworth is a 92 but guys gonna cost us $15 mil a year.

2008 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc.
Grade: 75 | Key
Alert: None

Comment: Canty has great size and natural strength to hold the point versus the run or push the pocket rushing the passer. He is long-limbed, which enables him to lock out and shed effectively. He has improved his hand use to separate to ball carriers and has become a more active defender in his third season. He is an instinctive player reacting well as plays unfold. He feels pad pressure well and constrains running lanes by pressing back into blockers. Canty had his best season of his pro career and has improved his pass rush package, but needs to continue to expand his initial moves and counters. He is a good football player who plays with a great motor and should continue to get better as his career progresses. His outstanding size makes him a fit in both a 3-4 or 4-3 defensive schemes and his versatility gives him added value. Canty will be a high-value free agent and likely re-signed by the Cowboys.

Why are we putting Canty and big Al in the same sentence. Canty is a younger version of Phillip Daniels... in fact Canty's production is closer to Evans than it is to haynesworth. I'm lost on the excitement over this guy.

Well, we just signed Hall to a big deal, so the team won't have the money for AH. I know they are not the same, but the team is looking to add a d-lineman free agent.

Canty's over 300 pounds and even played a little nose tackle for the Cowboys. He's easily capable of moving inside if need be. Besides with guys like Canty you don't look at sacks. A lot of pass rush problems came from guys like Romo who can step up in the pocket and in the end not have to throw over anyone. Haynesworth 8.5 sacks is an annominly and more of an exception then the rule.
