Another Haynesworth Thread: Will AH Be The Next Dana Stubblefield?

[saden1]

Who the hell knows man. He could be one pork-chop away from wanting to indefinitely stay at home and gorge himself with food.

One thing is for sure, he done got paid mad money.

[GusFrerotte]

The guy will end up being the best FA acquisition during the Snyder era in all probability. Sure the money we threw at him is ridiculous, but once the cap goes bye bye, who cares. I am sure the guy wants a SB ring and into the HOF so it is a good bet he will be a keeper. The money and the potential cap implications for the next couple seasons concerns me though. Can't see how this huge contract, along with Hall being resigned doesn't impede us in further FA deals.

Good stuff 53. Insert Redskins every time he says Titans

We can debate it all day long, but honestly who knows! Between injuries, personnel changes within the team and our competition, that good old thing called age and wear and tear anything is possible. These are all great game changers.

oh yeah, paper had a nice stat today...

is was about the whole haynesworth 65% thing.

last year griffin played in like 46% of snaps, golston in like 44, monty in 41% and alexander in 28.3% (guessing a little on the first three, since i don't remember, but all 40something %).

so, yeah, with a rotation it shouldn't really be an issue. it's not like griffin and golston are terrible either.

I'm glad you brought this up

[The Goat]

Hey back to AH for a minute... I know one of the biggest gripes about him is that he only has played about 65% of the snaps on defense. Well guess what?

Chickens butt... seriously, per our rotation Griff played the most snaps last year and you'll be shocked to know what the percentage was: about 50%. I think big Al will be a 2 down DT for us most series, like the Williams boys in MN, and maybe w/ the consistent rotation he'll stay healthier through the whole season too. Bottom line is Tenn worked him pretty hard compared to how we work our tackles.

Edit: Griff took about 55% of the snaps on d and that was way more than anyone else. Why don't I just provide the link since i can't get my shit straight...

One of the things (maybe the only thing) Blache improved on from the Williams era is that he rotated his defensive lineman much more efficiently than Williams ever did.

Granted the value of having fresh bodies on the DL diminishes when all you ever do is blitz 6+, but it's the thought that counts!

The giants signed canty and depth is nice, But he's not better than tuck or osi so we wont see all three of them at the same time. So what I'm saying is **** the giants!

Sick of hearing about the G-men dominating in '09 too. Nobody really taking into account Spags genius when it came to calling that defense. He's probably the best d-coordinator in football and unless NY somehow has a carbon-copy of him I think it's a bit premature for all of us to assume the defense will be exactly the same.

Get the hell outta the way boma, you aren't doing a thing but throwing money at everyone or anybody that needs a handout, with great results I might add. And the next TO is here to stay.....

AH is running the Nations Capital cus PFT said so!

ALBERT IS THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN D.C.
Posted by Mike Florio on March 2, 2009, 8:08 a.m.

Step aside, Barack Obama.

After Friday, the most powerful man in Washington, D.C., isn’t the President of the United States. Instead, it’s the newly-minted defensive tackle of the Washington Redskins.

That’s the practical fallout of the decision to give Albert Haynesworth a seven-year, $100 million contract with $41 million guaranteed.

As one league source observed, “He runs the coach, he runs the team, he runs everything.”

Why? Because, like a top-five draft pick whose obscene contract insulates him as a practical matter from any real consequence for acting like a fool, Haynesworth can do and say whatever he wants in 2009 (and likely beyond) without consequence.

Apart from the team’s limited options when it comes to taking action against Haynesworth, the Redskins now have their own T.O. — a guy whom ownership will choose to enable rather than discipline since any antisocial behavior in which he engages, and for which he is punished by the team, will prompt a chorus of “I told you so.”

And that’s where it gets interesting. As one source with intimate knowledge of Albert’s ways observed, “You don’t know what Albert is gonna do and you can’t tell him what to do.”

Hey, Terrell, do you have any extra popcorn?

[firstdown]

I did not read all the post but there is no way of knowing how this will work out for the Skins. On paper it looks like he will be a major player but when the money starts rolling in is when he will get his first gut check. What he said sounds great but that was before he received his first pay check. Some people loose interest just getting a small deal so there is really no way to tell.

[DGreene28]

The skins have waited to address the O-line through the draft.
Take a look at the success rate of recent first round Offensive linemen in their rookie season.

2008
Jake Long - Miami
Ryan Clady - Denver
Branden Albert - KC
Jeff Otah - Carolina
Duane Brown - Houston

2007
Joe Thomas - Cleveland
Levi Brown - Arizona
Joe Staley - San Francisco
Ben Grubbs - Baltimore

2006
D'Brickishaw Ferguson - New York Jets
Davin Joeseph - Tampa Bay

All of these players made a big impact in their rookie seasons. I think the redskins are hoping to plug in a high profile rookie to boost the OL in a position that historically rookies are able to step in and play at a high level sooner then most positions.

Article saying that the Skins are so vested in Big Al that he can do what he wants to and he'll become our personal TO sideshow.
