As for his durability or the number of plays he's actually on the field...realize he's the only player on our D consistently being double-teamed on every play. He must be to be stopped. He's pushing against 600-700 pounds a play, not 300-350. When he's not on the field, Rak gets the double but that's only when Al is sitting. He adds the dimension to our defense that makes us dangerous...one that leaves the opposing offense with more than one player they wish they could double team, but can't.

I didn't see Haynesworth getting double teamed all the time. Sorry but that's not completly true. In Orakpo's biggest game, which was against Oakland, Hayneswroth wasn't on the field, was he? I'm sure someone can check that out. Explain this....why did the defense perform worse in 2009? We gave up more points, more rushing yards. Yes we got more sacks but so what? The defense...overall didn't play better. Honestly AH had an up and down year. At his salary he's not suppose to have an up and down year. Year two I want to see a complete monster that's in shape and makes the guys around him better.
