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

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
