OK... Let the Haynesworth Petition Begin!

[Dirtbag59]

After the Andre Gurode incident I can't believe it but I'm in full support of bringing him here. I'm personally one of many that believes that our lack of a pass rush is due in part to our inability to get a push up the middle. Haynesworth doesn't just get a push but he's also capable of getting his own sacks. Also if it's financially feasable I would love to see him paired with Julius Peppers on the Left side. At that point with our secondary and our D-Line we would be unstoppable. Only thing left would be to sign a guy like Jordan Gross or bring in a Tackle with our first round pick preferably Michael Oher. Of course where we're going to get all the money to do this well only God knows where, but hey $24 million can go pretty far these days. Thats assuming of course that we're already under the cap when we let a bunch of people go.

A talented free agent in an area that we are in desperate need. It is either this or the offensive line, but we need help. I'm with you Dirtbag, I think the Defensive Ends have gotten all the attention, but our D-Tackles are not pushing up the middle. We can only get so much from the draft, but I believe we also need a good free agent for either line.

See, I tend to think that if we have to choose between a DE or DT, defensive tackle appears to be in better shape -- Golston, Montgomery, and Griffin while not world beaters are decent and can get the job basically done. Then you have Demetric Evans who can play in the middle along with Lorenzo Alexander who can also play.

Our defensive ends, on the other hand are absolutely pathetic and cannot do what they're supposed to do. So if you have to go with one or the other, to me it has to be defensive end.

I would agree that we have a brighter future at DT, we're lacking youth-wise at DE.

He only shows up on these contract years. Also he has blown a knee and has many many more on the field and off the field incidents since college that we are not discussing.

There are two lines of thought on this...either our DE's suck becasue they just suck or it's because our DT's do not get any push and the QB can just step up. It's probably a little of both but we would probably need the coaches tape to break down every snap to determine which it's more of. We do seem to have more servicable DL youth inside though...
