Albert Haynesworth

[cad]

complete speculation but if he were to go would you consider to pick him up?

solid young guy with the proper guidance could be great player

thoughts?

[punisher]

It could work, But do we have the right people to GUIDE him?

The Defense yes, Ryan would be good for his shabby technique, use swims rips etc, he is a raw player but i think he could learn techniquesn and be great

[OG BAMM BAMM]

He's a great talent and he would fit great with Kelly or Sands but is he worth the risk? I don't think so....IMO

[punisher]

I think he would work. like I said before I,worry about guidance. Can our guys handle this task. Ryan I think has the most respect from the players, He could make it work.The players are young and the vets are solid, to bad Hamilton has left,I think he would have beena good influence on the young players.

A classic Raider move to get a guy who is now a villan, then turn him into an all time great,

I think we should go for it, Kelly should be DE and Sapp is leaving soon so Haynesworth is worth, i'd go for it in an instant

i thought he signed a contract extension before the season started? I believe it was five year deal but I'm not sure.

I see...

[ULEN]

I'd take him, the guy is a beast. He's exactly the kind of tackle we need and the Titans probably don't want him back for next season. I say we give up a 4rth if they're willing to trade.

I'd take him quik

Absolutely. Sapp is turning out to be one of the major leaders for the Raiders, not just for the defense, but for all of the team. You can see him talking to Walter and guiding him and tell his concers and the teams' concerns to Shell. Rob Ryan is also one of the most respected guys in this organization, the players respect him and have him as a mentor, Haynesworth would learn to respect him and would follow our leaders like Sapp and Burgess.

Hopefully, becauase it would Solidify our defense

[Banter]

He's one of the better run defenders in the league so I would be pissed if we didn't put in a waiver claim.

Although I doubt the Titans waive him. And if they did I'm having a hard time believing the Cards who should have 1st dibs won't claim him. Denny Green usually doesn't let anything slide by on the waiver wire without checking it out.

Ya I would give a 4th for this guy as well. He'd be a nice compliment to Sands from what ive seen.
