Was Shanahan Wrong Deactivating Haynesworth vs. Indy

There are only so many gaps that you can be responsible for and Haynesworth is not a rookie.

Except that Haynesworth has said at least a couple of times that he hasn't quite grasped the defense. He hasn't really shown himself to be a guy who can take time off and come back as if nothing has happened.

If it were me, someone else would have been inactive, and Haynesworth wouldn't have started but would have been in uniform ready to go

Amen.
Just looked it up....we gave up 171 yards rushing on 28 carries for an average of 6.1 yards a carry. To one of the worst rushing teams in the league. How long is going to take Hasslett to figure it out?
We needed Haynesworth in this game.
You know I did see something for the first time since Shanny got here....in the 4 quater, right after the last long run up the heart of our defense, Shanny looked disgusted, turned and gave the stink eye to Hasslett.
Did you see Hasslett during the game...he was wigging out. He looked nervous and scared. Not what I want to see from the leader of our defense. I do not care who we are playing...Manning, Montana, Dan Maino...

Thank you!! That's been going on all season long, that didn't happen during the 4-3 D.
