King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

[Beemnseven]

Generally speaking, I don't like the idea either -- let's find our own Albert Haynesworth who's hungry and eager to prove himself, then let someone else shell out a hundred million for him five years down the road when we've gotten the best out of his playing days.

Then again ... there might be small shred of hope with this deal. If we have a #4 ranked defense with absolutely zero pressure on the quarterback, and we can keep our secondary intact, then theoretically Haynesworth could take our D to a level that we haven't seen in years. And you can basically forget about any linebacker problem. A guy like this paired with young, fresh upstarts like Montegomery and Golston make average linebackers look a whole lot better. That's the thing about a great D-line -- it can turn ho-hum linebackers into Pro Bowlers.

The one thing you shudder to think about though, is another Dana Stubblefield-type situation.
