Haynesworth fine doing what he does best
Shanahan stressed that to be a "complete lineman," a player has to be strong against both the pass and the run, and he's noticed improvement from Haynesworth in recent weeks. Haynesworth continues to take practice reps at the nose tackle position, though Haslett said Kedric Golston will now serve as backup to Ma'ake Kemoateu.
Haslett said he's convinced Haynesworth is still capable of playing in the 3-4. "He's athletic, he's big enough, it's more of a mind-set than anything. Is it what he does best, if it was 3-4? Probably not," he said. "But it doesn't mean he can't do it."
