He actually looks like he's a little leaner in the Skins uniforms.

I really don't understand why AH is so opposed to playing NT. Won't it be similar to when he was in the 4-3. In both ailments inst AH gonna take on double teams?

When did he say he was opposed to it? He just said yesterday he will do whatever the team wants and not be a distraction.

Hypothetically in a traditional 3-4 Haynesworth would be playing gap control and literally trying to hold up offensive lineman at the LOS. In his 4-3 role he gets to run up field and try to create havoc in the backfield. Obviously he draws double teams in both situations but in the 4-3 he get's to be a playmaker. In the 3-4 as a gap control NT he's an offensive lineman playing defense.

Thats not to say they couldn't put him at nose and allow him to get up field but I think Haynesworth biggest worry is playing gap control.

This sounds right. Blache was a huge gap control guy and it just doesn't jive w/ what Al does best.

I think putting him at RDE in the 3-4 could be really fascinating. At least part of the time he'll see doubles from tackle/TE instead of G/C...that should make him that much more dominant. He's so strong too he can just bull rush the poor bastards back toward the QB from the edge. Basically he can contain and put pressure on the QB simultaneously. If we have solid performance from whoever plays NT and LDE it will be a wicked front.

Anyways...Al is working out hard right now with a personal trainer...so I don't see any issue. He's not skipping any mandatory workouts or meetings.

Kinda amusing to hear LaVar giving someone advice on how to handle himself with the team/coaches.

I agree with LaVar...
