Was Shanahan Wrong Deactivating Haynesworth vs. Indy

I have considered that possible, but Haslett had the guys shifting positions and doing quick subbing. AH was not up to speed with that part of the gameplan.
However, I'll admit I'm not sure if he should have been deactivated. But if he was active, he wouldn't have been in on many plays.

Nothing personal but that is pure speculation. The bottom line is that we have no idea what would have happened because our coaches decided to sit our most talented player.

Either way, our defensive gameplan didn't work and NO ONE can dispute that.

It may be speculation, but if I have to face Peyton Manning going quick no huddle and thus prevent me from subbing, I sure as hell would want my guys to know exactly what the hell they're doing. And it's not like Albert was totally effective every time he has played. Teams have exploited his overaggressiveness before.

Well we lost a 3 point game. (hopefully no one will argue this). If Al makes one big play, it could have made a difference.

We had one sack, you honestly think it would have hurt us to have a DPOY on the field tonight?

More power to you.

It can go the other way too. Albert charges up the field and Addai runs right by him for a big gain.

So he would have gotten 47 instead of 46?

Dude, Albert is not indomitable on the field. When he's tired, he's utterly worthless. His aggression has also been used against him.

Just started reading this thread, and couldn't take it any more at this point. I don't know what you're on Pocket, I hope it's just too much caffeine.

You've seen AH in action this year. At the speed of Indy's offense, he would have been stepping on his tongue after about two plays, and sucking oxygen on the sidelines the rest of the way. No way would he have made a difference in this game...

And the defensive game plan worked well enough to give the Skins a chance to tie or win at the end of the game against last season's Super Bowl team. Tough to ask more than that in this game.

You continually say that "you like Shanahan" while your diatribe says the opposite. About time to get real.
