It would be a huge improvement on goal line D and Short yardage D to line up Evans at one end and Daniels at the other and Haynesworth and Griffen at DT. That would be a tough line to run on. Sit Little Andre Carter down on the bench on obvious run plays.

You'd bring them both back? Why not just bring Evans back, and on goal line situations slide Haynesworth out and bring in Montgomery or Golston (even Alexander) as your second DT?

That is another good option, but you need depth at DE. I have always been in favor of keeping two pass rushers and two run stoppers at DE and sub them as needed. Due to Daniels injury last year we only had one run stopper Evans.

For true Goaline D you usually line up 3 DT's (Haynesworth, Griffen and Montgomery) and 2 DE's (Daniel and Evans).
For short yardage 4-3 I would lne up Griffen and Daniels at DT and Daniels and Evans at DE.
It would be tough run on those D-lines.
