Pft:

haynesworth has “bad sprain”

posted by michael david smith on december 14, 2008, 5:02 p.m.

A source with knowledge of the situation tells pft that albert haynesworth suffered a “bad sprain” in the final moments of today’s loss to the houston texans.

The exact extent of the injury will not be known until team doctors have the results of an mri exam, which is scheduled to be conducted on monday. The injury took place when haynesworth ended up on the ground with his left leg pinned under a pile of players.

Losing haynesworth for any time at all would be a significant blow to the titans. Haynesworth has been a dominating presence in the middle of the titans’ defensive line this season, and he has a career-high 8.5 sacks.

The titans host the steelers next week in a game that could determine home-field advantage throughout the afc playoffs.

Certainly better to be coming together and peeking like say....the Panthers than to start out 10-0, then slip. That being said, defense and a strong running game should be there after a 2 week bye. Whoever comes to Tennessee will be beat up and on a weeks rest. Big equalizer.

If it's the Jets, MIA, DEN, or BAL ... I could see that happening

If NE, IND, or (god forbid) SD come to Nashville divisional week ... nice knowin you Titans

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
