Haynesworth and Wilfork in the middle?

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
A 5th round pick is totally worth the risk. Seems like a low risk, high reward move to me. I hope it doesn't work out, but won't be at all surprised if Haynesworth plays well for them.Originally posted by CuseJetsFan83Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
i mean rash decisions as in this is totally an odd move for a normally cool calm collected patriots FO.....Originally posted by mayotm
not to mention as a 3/4 defense... wonder if this means some newer packages or to try and not wear out wilfork

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
Wow, Belichick has taken on some headcases before, but this may be his biggest challenge.
My guess is they use him inside as a nickel rusher on passing downs, which is something they really could use. I guess they are that desperate to upgrade their pass rush. If Albert decides to play it is a huge upgrade. Big if, though. The guy is a self-centered turd.
Not my favorite player in the NFL, though. Incredibly talented, but I hate guys who only play when they want to play.Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
The Pats have always played as much as a hybrid as they do a straight 3/4. They'll find a place for him.Originally posted by CuseJetsFan83Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
BTW, he is due $12.6M over the next 2 years. After that his contract just gets silly. I wonder if a new contract is part of the deal, like when they dealt for Moss.Comment

I hope he doesn't have the productivity Moss had at NE.Originally posted by chernobylwraithsComment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
They are in sub defenses over half the time, because they have a good offense and usually the score dictates a lot of passing for the other team. Their base 3/4 will remain unchanged, but where Haynesworth fits in theoretically is improving their pass rush. He is a terror rushing the passer when he wants to be, pushing the pocket and blowing up blocking schemes. The problem is, getting him to want to.Originally posted by mayotm
Albert isn't always healthy either. Seems to miss a few games a year. Motivation is the question with the guy.Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
I wonder how Albert likes the Pats conditioning test. He struggled passing one with Washington last year, and Belichick refuses to let guys practice until they pass the conditioning test.Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
Haynesworth is a head case but so was/is Moss. If anyone can turn Haynesworth around it is New England.Comment

Re: haynesworth to the patriots
And Icky can correct me if I'm wrong, but the Pats the last few years have been using 4-3 packages a bit more than the 3-4, so putting him at 3 tech and letting him rush the passer is what he wants to do and helps them replace Banta-Cain's production.
