While we've discussed Haynesworth and his projected role in whatever defensive scheme the team decides to implement, the subject of where/how he'll be used will never grow stagnant.

Haynesworth will show up and be a team player, the coaches will find ways to utilize his talents in a way that will not interfere with his preferences, and we won't witness a repeat of the unhappiness he demonstrated towards the end of last season.

I have never understood the obsession with continuing to sugest that arguably your best defensive player should be forced to play a position he's made perfectly clear he wont be comfortable playing. It would be my ambition to keep the "big guy" happy in hopes of getting his maximum effort as a result. The most important thing for Haynesworth is conditioning, this staff may not be comfortable with him playing 60% of the snaps. This season he's going to have to spend more time on the field regardless of what his role is on the defense.
