My fault, you probably got free health care from him. Sorry for offending you and the rest of the people looking for (and receiving) handouts.

Here's the thing, Kemo isn't even servicable when he wants to be so until we have a solution to letting Al go (which no one on this board has come up with) I will argue that the coaches should earn their checks and motivate him. I maintain that the team is better with a motivated Haynesworth. If the coaches are not good enough to get something out of him then get this over with and get rid of him.

If he goes to the Titans, he is going to destroy us when we play them this year.

I don't buy that argument at all. This coaching staff has 52 other guys motivated as hell and flying all over the field. We have star starters, no-name back-ups, and everyone in between buying into what Shanahan and Co are selling. Except for one guy.

This isn't new with Albert. It's how he's been everywhere he's gone. He's played all of one season where he shut off his antics and dominated- and that was when he was looking for a monster payday.

IMO to make the statement "if the coaches are not good enough to get something out of him..." is pretty ignorant of what's going on with this team and staff. No offense intended, just my opinion.

Arian Foster is going to eat up this defense if they keep on playing the way they're playing. AH or no, the run defense is shit and the blame has to fall on the front seven. Kemo sucks and it's going to be a while before he returns to form, if he ever does, AH is on/off and playing catchup, and Holliday is lol awful.

And I have to say that Pocket actually cares more about being objective than Scud. My $.02.

?? More objective in general or just about Haynesworth? I feel like I'm pretty realistic and objective when it comes to this team.

Not sure how apologizing for a distracting team cancer every chance you get is objective, but sure. You're entitled to your opinion.

^ I'm sure Kyle will give Haslett some good tips...it's our only chance. Houston looks scary.

Scud, I firmly believe that the fans are distracted. Do you think the team really cares that much? I would think if he was a distraction to his teammates, he would have gone long ago.

Thanks SCP. I know I say a lot of stupid stuff sometimes but when it comes to seriously discussing the team, I try to look at it from what is best for them. That is why I defended Landry at nauseum in the offseason for example.

Of course the fans are WAY more distracted than the team. It's just frustrating when a player of his caliber won't buy into a proven successful system.

The players can dumb it down as much as they want, but Haynesworth's antics are obviously more distracting than if he was just playing and playing hard.

That crybaby look on his face when he was pouting by himself on the sidelines was just pathetic.

Was he really pouting though? I remember games last year when he gets in a type of "angry zone" when he plays. When he was pacing by himself, I saw it more as he is pumping himself up more than trying to send a message to the coaches. They played him after that, so I don't think he was causing problems. I wasn't on the sidelines so I don't know for sure.

I saw Haynesworth jack up their guy with a little over 4:00 in the 3rd.

With 2:00 in the 3rd Gurode got the better of him initially, then he held Albert and didn't get called when Al recovered (per Collinsworth).

So now that is twice that I have watched the game and still have no idea what you are talking about.

I did watch Kemo get pushed back consistently on single teams and was like a rag doll on double teams. He is big and slow and gets zero push into the backfield. If all you Albert haters get your wish, get used to seeing our linebackers having to avoid 96 getting pushed over them.

At this point AH is just another body in there. No more no less. He's really not a difference maker. He doesn't dominate and the defense can get the job down w/out him.

I guess we will find out because the Texans are going to run until we stop them.

Even team cancers can have their share of good or ok plays. That's what he's trying to point out. If you want to deny the plays that he was alright on though, provide evidence said plays didn't happen. Simple.
