I'm on the fence. but lets for fun say we did sign Haynesworth. (If we could;ie CAP) I would suspect he would not be needed on all 4 downs anyway. Most likely he would be used on the first 2 downs possibly the 3rd down to clog the middle and stop the run/ push the pocket. Cause double teams or mismatches. Which is what we want. I would figure on 4th down we would be expecting punt. So for the fun lets say we keep him in on 1st and 2nd to clog the middle. take him out on 3rd and put in a pash rushing Defense. If for any reason a team was on a 4th and 1 and decided to go for it he could come back in to clog the middle.

I really don't see any down side to his stepping in or stepping out of the field of play considering Blache changes people all the time in order to keep fresh legs on the field. Now the down sides would be injuries and age. Look at what we are paying Springs and more of you seem happy to keep him and let Rogers go. I can't figure that one out. If it can be done I would get Haynesworth to clog the middle and move Taylor to WLB and allow him to roam a little to create havoc.

I don't care what people think we all know teams would have to game plan around him. They would have to double team him freeing up other rushers and he would definitly push most pockets so the QB would not be able to step up. He would easily help our defense maybe even helping our secondary simply by applying pressure. The big question is if we are keeping Taylor can we go after and afford Haynesworth. I would bet Snyder was simply speaking with his agent about cost.
