It's true it's on redskins.com on the front page ticker. $ 100M, as I said before, I don't like it, HUGE risk when we have many other holes to fill.

It's going to be interesting to see the final terms of both AH & Hall's deals.

So the D looks like this Carter-Haynesworth-Griffen-Taylor on the line. LB's McIntosh-Fletcher-Blades?. Hall-Landry-Horton-Rogers with Smoot as the nickel. You have to love this D! Fletcher will be able to run free sideline to sideline. It also free's up doubles on Taylor or Carter for the most part. But the biggest part is big Al stoping the run and screens up the middle!

I don't think Taylor will be here. With the AH and Hall signings JT will probably be released along with Springs. I also think we will make some sort of upgrade at LB. Once we get throught he weekend and the dust settles then we'll have a clearer picture.

My thoughts are the same. Mike Mayock has USC LB Rey Maulamuna going 13 in the draft. He's known for getting to the QB. We have to rotate the LB's during the game and this guy may fit into the scheme.

Re: Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!

I'm cautiously optimistic about this deal. I mean, we've seen it before. The Redskins go out and sign big names with little to no return. Make no mistake, I like both players on this defense (the DEs, LBs and DBs all just got better by adding AH) but we've been burned before. If this yields a perennial Superbowl contender and ultimately a Championship then great. If not, we're still just fans of the most frivilous sports team in America. I'm happy with the deal, but I want results (I know we all do). We've suffered long enough...it's time for a return to glory!

Hopefully they get cracking on that offensive line! Bring back Dock!!

I appreciate those who ensured this was posted as soon as the news broke...I tend to look here before I log onto any other sites as the Warpath always has info from credible sources.

HAIL!!

Re: Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!

I don't give a rat's ass about how much he's getting. I'm not the one paying him so who cares? All I care about is his play on the field. I like the fact that he has a mean streak. Since the death of ST, our defense has lacked "nastiness". Glad to have some of that injected into the D line for a change. Hopefully, he will be as good as he was in TN.
