Uh he already HAS handled him all by himself. The result....Haynesworth suspended.....Gurode Pro Bowl.

Round one goes to Gurode but that battle was 2006, this is 2009. In 2009 my money is on Fat Albert.

Lol, Okay Okay, I can respect that. We'll have to see what unfolds on November 22nd. I have tickets for that game already so I can get a first hand account too. I'll check back with you on November 23rd.

By the way, did anyone hear Eli Manning on Mike & Mike this morning? He was asked what the Giants did to minimize Haynesworth so much.

Eli basically said they did nothing special, that they ran their normal gameplan that they always use against the Redskins. He did say that the 2 early long drives the Giants had (10+ plays each drive) seemed the wear on Haynesworth and that they did not think he was in "Game-Shape" because of AH missing some of training camp. He did acknowledge that AH is a force in the middle, but only a few minor shifts with the TE's set him up in the gap that want AH line up in.

Yea, he's going to say something like that. It's QB speak. I think too much is made about AH playing every down. All teams rotate their defensive line. We also have depth w/ Golston and Montgomery, so I have no problem w/ it.

I also doubt that most of the larger interior d lineman in the NFL are in complete game shape at week 1.

I think we ALL know who got "handled" in that matchup.
