For a $100 million contract, he better come damn close at the very least. And let's be honest, the other stuff I wrote is probably unrealistic also to what is actually going to pan out. JC will improve on last years stats to a certain degree, but I don't think he is going to have a breakout year. Doesn't have much to work with unfortunately.

When is the last time a DT has led the league in sacks? Warren Sapp was up there for a while, but generally it doesn't happen. Actually, it pretty much doesn't really come close to happening.

Haynesworth main job is occupy people as technically the DT is most dangerous position to get sacks from as it's usually just a straight line to the QB. However with the way schemes are as well as the fact that interior lineman have to deal with a lot of traffic thats not the case.

What Haynesworth will do on top of getting a few sacks of his own is that he'll prevent QB 's from stepping up into the pocket, which was a HUGE problem last year as it was pretty much a wide open window for QB's to throw as they didn't have to see over their lineman in these situations. Theres a reason scouts like QB's with height, it's because when guys like Haynesworth disrupt the pocket they want the QB to still be able to see whats going on downfield.

The double teams he'll demand though as a pass rusher will also free up our ends and linebackers so expect more blitzes into the A-Gap this year.

On top of that Fletcher will be virtually untouched this year by blockers.

His career high is 8.5 which came last year. If he is in the 6-8 range he's doing his job in that area. His main value will be in tying up multiple blockers and creating pressure up the middle. A lot of his value isn't going to come by way of pretty stats.

Re: How will you measure success?

Between all of the offensive guys I would like to see an average of 24 PPG or better, 60% or better on 3rd downs, and 65% or better TD scoring in the redzone, and 90% or better scoring in the Redzone alltogether. Finally, 1.5 TO's per game or less.

From a Defensive standpoint I would like to see an average of 14 PPG or lower. 2.5 sacks per game or better and 2 forced Turnovers per game or better.

I do not care about individual performances, I would like to see team success. If the team succeeds then the individual performances will be there.

Yeah I think we all get it that wins are what matters, but for the purposes of this thread we're talking about individual players.

Re: How will you measure success?

Campbell - 20 touchdowns and at least four of them MUST be against the Cowboys. And I would like to see him run up the score against Denver. Those Pieces of Shit took Orton over him! He needs to make them miserable for doing so!

Malcom Kelly - GET OUT OF THE NURSES OFFICE AND ON THE FIELD FOR MORE THAN ONE PLAY!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Devin Thomas - Out jump a DB for the ball while running a quick fade into the end zone....................and at least 40 catches.

Haynesworth - must belly flop Tony Romo and whipe that grin off his face! At least three times!!!

Hall - Just keep doing what he did last year. And play some on Special Teams too. He's a Hokie and Hokie's play special teams!

Thanks for playing. You know nothing of the NFL if you think a DT can lead the league in sacks.

Re: How will you measure success?

Jason Campbell - I'd like to see him complete some deep passes and maybe run a little more. Sometimes he has to make something out of what looks like nothing.
Devin Thomas - Run routes correctly and get about 40 receptions. I want to see the ball in his hands more often.
Malcolm Kelly - Get on the field and make some clutch 3rd down plays and become a force in the Redzone. I want some TD's from Kelly.
Albert Haynesworth - Just keep on doing what you've done at Tenn. the last couple of years. 6-8 sacks and create havoc on the o-line. Keep the QB's attention.
DeAngelo Hall - Don't gamble to the point of getting beat and do what we kept you for. Interceptions!
If they do these things I will consider them a success and ultimately it will create success for the team.

So is your intent to just post snarky psuedo-Snyder comments that are supposed to be clever?
