I disagree that Haynesworth was merely average. On the 4th and a foot from our 3 yard line, Haynesworth beat a double team to turn the ball over on downs. He was the biggest reason that the Giants had no success on 3rd and 1 situations. When he was blocked 1 on 1, he pushed the Giants left guard around like a blocking sled. He ended up with 4 tackles (one for a loss), which is a pretty damn good day considering that the G-men consistently ran away from him after realizing that it was futile running through Phat Albert. Don't measure Haynesworth's contribution by stats alone. He is freeing up London Fletcher to make big hits by occupying blockers.
