Should we get Albert Haynesworth?

by RamblinWreck7 on Feb 11, 2011 5:23 PM EST

Since we are talking about Defensive Tackles like Shaun Rogers then I might as well throw Albert Haynesworths name into the mix.

I know this year he's had character and off the field issues. Part of that comes from that he doesn't want to be a nose tackle in the 3-4 scheme, he likes being a 4-3 DT. Before the Washington Redskins, I can't remember him having any character issues. I know that a couple of years ago when he was a free agent that many colt fans wanted to see him in a colts uniform. And why not, he dominated up the middle.

I don't think that we could trade for Haynesworth because there is no way that we could pay for his contract, but if Washington releases him then maybe we could go sign him. His stock has fallen off a bit because of his off the field issues and attitude, but that might help us for getting him cheaper.

Albert was a force on the Titans defensive line with his combination of speed and strength. He's huge at 6'6" and 330 to 340 lb., but he's quick and explosive off the line. He collapses the pocket with his great pass rushing skills and he's also a powerful run stuffer.

Having a DT like him in the middle of our defensive line would take the extra blockers and double teams off of Freeney and Mathis. Our run defense and pass rush, especially up the middle, would greatly increase.

Albert Haynesworth and Shaun Rogers are both great ideas and we should also draft a DT early in the draft. Feel free to comment on these ideas.

You dont remeber Haynesworth having any character issues

before he joined the Redskins? Remember that time he stomped on Andre Gurode’s head in the field of play. Albert has always had a bad temper. When channelled properly he is a force. When it comes out inproperly, well, you get what has been going on with him for the last 10 months.

2006 is about when I started paying more attention to football so I don't know everything about Haynesworth.

Seems like something you should research for two minutes

Before making a post like this, no?

Seems like you shouldn't post if you have nothing better to say.

You go back to looking up Haynesworth's history

I’ll go back to saying nothing about how this is an awful idea. Deal?

I never said we should get Haynesworth or not, read the entire post.

I simply added a name into the free agent DT mix.

Obviously both of you do not speak English

I would have said go get Haynesworth if I wanted too. Go find that in my post and prove me wrong. Oh wait, you can’t……

I started paying attention to Haynesworth about 15 minutes ago...

and it appears yes indeed he has some character issues.

So on the 18th day God created the Quarter Back, and his name is Peyton Manning. And thank the Lord he plays for the Polianapolis Colts.

I was all for getting him when he originally left Tennessee

now, I dont think its a good idea. He is still a good player. But for the money he is going to want, it wont be worth it. He has lost that killer instinct. Im gonna go on record and say he will never be the same player he was in his final year with the Titans.

He would have to take a serious paycut to play with the colts

Definitely not how much he is getting paid now.

No haynesworth for me please

I am very supportive of the colts when it comes to getting players with character so I would rather not have haynesworth. He acts like a baby when he doesn’t get what he wants, so I’d be shocked if BP goes after him. I’d like to get Rogers along with another DT in the 1st 3 rounds of the draft

The Indianapolis Colts ARE going to be the 1st team to win a super bowl in their own stadium. 'nuff said.

This is kind of funny

Just after I posted this topic, I found an article on Stampede Blue asking if we should trade for Albert Haynesworth in October of 2010. Most people thought it was a great idea. Now only a few months later most people it seems so far don’t want Haynesworth. It’s not like he has done anything different lately that he wasn’t already doing in Washington before.
