    UNDECIDED. Yes, if they suck like last year. No, if the play like they did last Sunday.
    If they are fine, he's not worth the headache and B%tchazzedness he brings.

    The Haynesworth who was with us the past two years is gone. All he is now is a virus to a team and will never reach a level of play that could help us. Keep the picks and don't trade for an overpaid and overrated player.

    Does Haynesworth have some big issues? Yes. But I get a little tired of people saying people will do this or won't do that.

    I'm very happy with our rotation, and our team's apparent chemistry, but I don't care if they sit Indian-style holding hands and wearing flowers, as long as they get deep in the playoffs and push for the title. That's all I care about.

    We've had issues already out of Morgan, Brown and Hayes. Whereas I'd hope to see similar performances against the other teams, as we did against the Raiders on Sunday, the law of averages tells me not to expect it.

    An Albert Haynesworth even playing only 40% of the snaps could go a long way to assuring dominance and allow our offense to widen the point gap on teams.

    If I don't trust Fisher historically when he says "We're fine with what we've got," why should I believe any of my fellow posters, lol? Yeah, we look fine. Now. I care about the playoffs. We've been down a couple of key players and suffered the effects in the first round. I really don't want to see that again.

    Do you?

    Picks aside, more important to me is who do we let go? Ball looks the best he's ever been, a la, the Detroit Thanksgiving Day game, but do I think he can hold up all season? I don't know. Babin might have finally found a home here. These are the obvious choices, but I don't even know if I'd want to lose Ball just yet.

    Remember, though, we were weakest last year with our push up the middle. We look good now, but we don't have a big butt in there, like Albert is. My concerns are standard run defense, and constant pocket collapse. And I mean constant. Our ends look good enough that I wouldn't have a problem sacrificing a DE for a DT like AH. Or trading Gage and keeping up to 10 DL. At least everyone is fresh, and injuries would seldom be a problem.

    Also, keep in mind, the Titans don't have to marry Al for the next 6 years either, or even three. At this price, he could be cut or traded at first sign of a problem - after the season is over.

    I know we'll do above average without Al, but like I said, it's about being in position to peak at the right time in the postseason, and I really believe Haynesworth can help the Titans do that.

    Absolutely bring him back. He'll want to prove he's still the man here and he offsets the Pacman loss. Kind of like the opposite.

    Here's a list of some disappointments we have drafted in rounds 3 and 4 over the last couple of years:

    List of 3rd round players:

    - Rich Gardner
    - Paul Williams
    - Courtney Roby
    - Brandon Jones

    List of 4th round players:

    - Calvin Lowry
    - Chris Davis
    - Roydell Williams
    - Stanford Keglar
    - Bo Schobel
    - Michael Waddell
    - Troy Kropog

    My point is we took chances on these players and for the most part lost. So why not take a chance on a player that has shown skill, and can very possibly not only help on the line, but improve it.

    And whoever said he doesn't play to our scheme has been smoking something cause Haynesworth DEFINES our scheme. Wreak havoc, get to the QB and play the run on the way there. Haynesworth taking the double team on every play would do wonders for the other guys.


    I would love to just once see the amount of destruction a line consisting of Morgan, Jones, Haynesworth and Hayes could do. That would be nutty.
