I am guessing he was doing what they were asking him to do, as far as shooting the gaps because he did it over and over and over again. In my opinion, if that was wrong, he would have been pulled out rather quickly and not put back on the field. If you argue that point, then it goes against all the arguements of Shanny busting AH ass everytime he screws up.

thats what im interested to know. unless haslett or someone else with knowledge of the scheme speaks out, i think the fact that they left him in there is circumstantial evidence that shooting gaps was his job description.

of course, general duties of a NT is to take on blockers and not try and shoot past the center and guard.

i really wanna know the answer.

In my limited knowledge, a good NT is hardly noticeable in the game, if you are talking about being a pass rusher. I think this is where the fit comes into questions regarding AH. People say, yeah he should play or learn to play or whatever, but you also have to put your feelings aside and look at this situation from a football standpoint. Haynesworth doesn't fit in our scheme period. We all see how terrible Laron Landry was playing FS last year, and I think this is a similar situation. Throw on top of that attitude issues and disagreements between a player and a team (which happen all the time).

Personally, putting AH in the 3-4 is like putting a big fat square peg into a round hole. Now the team needs to figure out how to trade him, and that won't happen until a team becomes desperate. Because right now, we don't see to have the upper hand in any trade negotiation.
