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.
