Obligatory "Do We Sign This Released Player?" Thread: Albert Haynesworth

Don't really see the harm in letting him come in and finish out the season if he pans out extend his contract if he does the same stuff he'd been doing like in WAS and NE cut him...we aren't going to the playoffs this year might as well start evaluating this team and getting it ready for next year

The people who are saying he hasn't played well are just echoing what they hear from the media because he isn't racking up sacks. If you actually watch Patriots games you will see him drawing double teams every single down. He was cut because he just wasn't worth the price to the Patriots, financially and attitude-wise.

DTs eating blockers and drawing double teams is the exact thing that our defense has been missing. It's not going to happen because of money and reputation, but he would be an enormous fix to our ailing defense.

...But against the Giants, after he drew a holding call with 14:10 left in the second quarter, Haynesworth put together three of the worst plays you will see out of an NFL defensive tackle.

With 14:01 left, Haynesworth was easily thrown to the ground by Giants guard Chris Snee with one arm.

With 13:59 left, Snee easily pancaked Haynesworth when he stopped moving his feet – a cardinal sin for a defensive lineman.

And then on third down, Haynesworth was again thrown to the ground after he stopped moving his feet, this time by left guard David Diehl, whom other Patriots regularly beat in that game.

On Haynesworth’s next snap, he showed a decent rush almost playing the end position.

But then on Brandon Jacobs’ 10-yard touchdown run, Haynesworth got too high and was easily shoved out of the gap by Diehl.

Haynesworth’s day, after a few choice words from defensive line coach Pepper Johnson was finished after that.

We thought about writing about Haynesworth’s struggles last night, but waited until we talked to a few NFL personnel executives to see if they came away with the same opinion.

“On the ground three straight times and didn’t seem at all to mind!” one said. “Just stopped moving his feet on each play.”

He doesn't deserve another shot. Not this year anyway.

you should try more to add in the conversation than just trying to bring someone with you for when you finally get IP banned.

The old TRD was much better, I didn't agree with a lot you said but at least you tried and you weren't quite as annoying.

Holy sh*t I'm here wayyy too often. I didn't know TRD was Camdemonium, but just by the way he talks and the insane post count since September I was begining to think it was a TRD alt. That is crazy. I need to go outside and do fun stuff.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
