If you're talking about recent on field production then yes, Hampton and Ratliff are head and shoulders above Haynesworth. If you're talking about physical talent and ability it's the other way around. That's the part thats so frustrating, even in limited action against Dallas I saw flashes of a guy that has the potential to dominate. The way he moves for a man his size doesn't even seem fair.

Right now I just want them to play him and see if these flashes can translate into something more. If they can then it has the potential to really take this defense, and team to another level. However above all else he has to want it, and right now I have serious doubts about his willingness to play his role. Like I said, it's just frustrating to have that much talent yet not enough trust and confidence to put it to use.
