Haven't seen anything official but one would have to think Haslett was ok with it, he was primarily playing on passing downs so he was probably allowed some leeway to get up field. Otherwise I can't see why he would have been left in there.

Doubtful. Shooting the gap are staple for "Phillips" 3-4s, which I why I believe Haynesworth would fit better down there with the moo-moo bums. We have a Lebeau-influenced 3-4, so I think there's a mix of plays that ask the Dlinemen to two-gap and one-gap, but I can't be sure because there's so much to pay attention to.

Arrington's take

Pretty good insight coming from a former linebacker.

Sounds like he shouldn't be shooting gaps then. Also seems to explain why Haslett wants him to play "with more power".
