Hopefully they can find someone in the next year or two that can play that Casey Hampton role. In fact I'm actually getting ready to watch the Pitt-Tenn game to see what an elite NT looks like.

In watching the Boys-Skins game from week 1 it's obvious that Haynesworth is better at NT then Kemo. Even when he gets "blowed out" of the hole he's so fast that he gets right back in there. Also when plays go to the outside you'll notice that Kemo and Bryant stumble while Haynesworth is actually running. In a way it's kind of like Kemo is Shaq and Haynesworth is Dwight Howard. Kemo kind of stands up and doesn't move while Haynesworth gets a push in some way shape or form. If you ask me you wouldn't even have to double team Kemo at this point, rather you'd be better served going after both our linebackers with the Guards. Personally I feel like Kemo isn't as far along in his recovery from his torn Achilles as we originally thought.
In spite of the pounding he took from Collinsworth he actually played well. I hope in the coming weeks that he gets healthy and on top of that gets more playing time because with him in our defense is a lot better. I encourage anyone that can to rewatch the Dallas game and see the difference. The coaching staff and Haynesworth need to find some way to put all this together and move past the drama. If that doesn't work, then try Golston at NT. Basically I would to see the team use someone that can fire off the ball, and if Haynesworth attitude prevents him from seeing the field then at least we can use Golstons motor.

Sorry but he's not better than Casey Hampton or Jay Ratliff. Both are so much better than AH it's not even funny. The bottom line is we shouldn't be playing this defense. I just don't understand why the coaches are so hell bent on playing a 3-4. We simply don't have a true NT. Kemo and AH are 4-3 tackles. To me it's ego based.
