Obligatory "Do We Sign This Released Player?" Thread: Albert Haynesworth

Don't really see the harm in letting him come in and finish out the season if he pans out extend his contract if he does the same stuff he'd been doing like in WAS and NE cut him...we aren't going to the playoffs this year might as well start evaluating this team and getting it ready for next year

The people who are saying he hasn't played well are just echoing what they hear from the media because he isn't racking up sacks. If you actually watch Patriots games you will see him drawing double teams every single down. He was cut because he just wasn't worth the price to the Patriots, financially and attitude-wise.

DTs eating blockers and drawing double teams is the exact thing that our defense has been missing. It's not going to happen because of money and reputation, but he would be an enormous fix to our ailing defense.

...But against the Giants, after he drew a holding call with 14:10 left in the second quarter, Haynesworth put together three of the worst plays you will see out of an NFL defensive tackle.

With 14:01 left, Haynesworth was easily thrown to the ground by Giants guard Chris Snee with one arm.

With 13:59 left, Snee easily pancaked Haynesworth when he stopped moving his feet – a cardinal sin for a defensive lineman.

And then on third down, Haynesworth was again thrown to the ground after he stopped moving his feet, this time by left guard David Diehl, whom other Patriots regularly beat in that game.

On Haynesworth’s next snap, he showed a decent rush almost playing the end position.

But then on Brandon Jacobs’ 10-yard touchdown run, Haynesworth got too high and was easily shoved out of the gap by Diehl.

Haynesworth’s day, after a few choice words from defensive line coach Pepper Johnson was finished after that.

We thought about writing about Haynesworth’s struggles last night, but waited until we talked to a few NFL personnel executives to see if they came away with the same opinion.

“On the ground three straight times and didn’t seem at all to mind!” one said. “Just stopped moving his feet on each play.”

He doesn't deserve another shot. Not this year anyway.

you should try more to add in the conversation than just trying to bring someone with you for when you finally get IP banned.

The old TRD was much better, I didn't agree with a lot you said but at least you tried and you weren't quite as annoying.

Holy sh*t I'm here wayyy too often. I didn't know TRD was Camdemonium, but just by the way he talks and the insane post count since September I was begining to think it was a TRD alt. That is crazy. I need to go outside and do fun stuff.
