He didn't flop on the ground a single time yesterday did he? We knew what we were getting, I'd like to see his pct of snaps played. He's not the only person that we rotate in and out; I'd rather see Haynesworth take a breather than come up tired and get hurt. Then if they want him to condition differently they can ask it of him.

We rotate players in and out I'm sure, but there's always a camera pointed at him.

I'm sorry but he's freakin TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! Haynesworth is as soft as BUTTER. I've never seen a professional football player that can only play one play and then take 4 off.

i felt the same way as you but BHA makes good points i had the same conversation with credskins a few weeks back, and they are right he does play alot of snaps when he is in the game, he actually plays a fairly high percentage. i think what you are getting stuck on and so was i is that he got paid a shit ton and was most definitly over paid or atleast to much gauranteed, and the fact that he has the fake injuries to catch his breath. but if you look at the numbers there is no denying he plays hard and is in fact not soft

for the record i still don't like the guy, but the player is growing on me

I'm seeing Haynesworth making Carter look relevant again and making Orakpo look like the D-ROY. Also seeing that in the games that've been analyzed by others Haynesworth is taking 75-80 percent of the snaps in a line that's rotated heavily anyways.

1. Thats a GROSS Exaggeration.
2. The dude weighs 350 pounds. There's no way he can go full speed every snap. Statistically, when he's active, he's on the field more than any other defensive player except andre carter. DL players are rotated in and out constantly on every team in the NFL. Since they're generally much bigger guys, its necessary to keep them fresh. You just don't notice it as much on other teams because the cameras don't follow their every move as they do with haynesworth.

I won't say that Haynesworth has necessarily exceeded my expectations, but he's certainly met them. He's one of the few big-contract guys this team has signed in recent memory who's actually worth every penny.
