I bet our CBs look worlds better with a pass rush.

That said, I'm still not getting my hopes up until I see we can score points -- especially throwing the ball. Portis makes this offense go, but killing him early in the season cripples us towards the end. We need balance, we need to implement a real 2 back system (which most every other team uses) and we need to score.

Good post. I think the best way to measure Haynesworth's contribution this year is on team sacks. Hopefully we can break 40.

I have a "space-eater" mentality, so I'd be just fine if the DEs and LBs got all the sacks.
