Default Run Defense - The Sieve Has Been Plugged

Our run defense wasn't good last year. We didn't focus on it since our 3rd down defense was so much worse.

But now, we have added Haynsworth, and Ty Warren is back. Warren, Wilfork, Haynsworth, AWESOME!

Brace, Pryor, Deaderick and Love are OK backups.

And the there are WRIGHT and STROUD.

If they are healthy, they would be major upgrades over whichever backups they replace.

You're seriously counting on Haynesworth Mg?

Yes.

His 2011 contract over over $5M is guaranteed. I don't think that Belichick would trade for him uness HE was counting him,

The same way I counted on Randy Moss in 07 and Corey Dilllon prior. When a great player leaves a place he didn't want to be and goes to a winning team LOOK OUT.

You're assuming he passes the conditioning test.

Albert, put down that bag of Cheetoes.

Stroud was cut, I believe.

Trades usually depend on physical and conditioning tests. If he is completely out of shape I doubt this deal for a fifth-rounder goes through.

Never underestimate Albert's stupidity in screwing this up, which he apparently may do if he repeatedly fails the conditioning test.

Gawd, he'd be the laughing stock of the league and Detroit would claim him off the waivers.

When he went berserking on rookies and tying them all up with tape--even when the head coach had an iron-clad rule against hazing--he offered as a defense that he grew up in South Carolina, near where the movie Deliverance supposedly took place.

I kid you not.

It's not guaranteed MGT, because AH missed minicamps in 2010. The Pats can cut him tomorrow and not pay him a dime if they wanted to.

A fifth round pick in 2013, that's like a 9th rounder next year, the cost is too high, we need those 9th rounders.
