Haynesworth

Let's also remember a few things. It's preseason, and AH is not built to chase scrambling QB's. His forte is bull rush up the middle with the ends containing. He is also a runstopper first.

 

That sounds like the play- I don't have a recording.

I was particularly bothered by that play because as I remember, he could have had him with a little effort. I recall he pulled off his blocker and had his hands on his hips and just stood there watching Losman make the throw.

I don't have anything in particular against AH, I just thought that play was characteristic of what we often get out of him. Great skills, limited production.

 

The only way I see AH coming back to the Titans is if he gives the team a nice home town discount. Unfortunately the better he plays this year and if he stays out of trouble the higher the odds are he isn't a Titans after this year. There is a chance, but I doubt it will happen, that the Titans could extend his contract early in the season. Otherwise I don't see him back.

 

I think extending him in-season is the only choice we have. Waiting til the end will only work if he has a bad season. I wouldn't really test that angle.

 

He didn't have his hands on him. And like I said, he did let off, and I can see it as partly due to the angle of the tv shot, but he was not about to get him and then just gave up on it. You can see the hash marks on that play and realize Losman was well away from him and gone by the time Al let up. I'm pretty sure this is the play anyway, since I kinda thought the same thing you did when I first saw it.

I think they should try to have a lot of the money in incentives. And if we don't sign him before he tests the market, and he gets a huge offer (very possible imo), I'd be leary of matching it. So basically, I think it's more likely that he plays elsewhere next season.
