He's been a run-stuffing 3-4 end for the Cowboys. While the Titans might find him versatile, I suspect they think him a tackle who could clog the middle.</p>

    especially when you take into account that he's switching to an entirely different scheme.

    Canty Scheduled to Visit Titans

    SUMMARY: The Titans have already began looking at a future without Albert Haynesworth by inviting Dallas Cowboys DL Chris Canty to Baptist Sports Park. Canty is to visit with the Washington Redskins on Friday and is expected to be in Nashville on Saturday. "A lot, obviously, revolves around where Haynesworth ends up," said agent Brad Blank. "So we're playing it by ear." Canty started 48 straight games for the Cowboys during the last three seasons. The Virginia product had 3 sacks in 2008.

    I'm thinking Igor Olshansky might be worth a look.

    This could be a way to replace 85% of Al's production at 30% of the price...

    Canty is pretty good.
