I just can't get over people thinking that what a guy signed for the vet minimum, or a guy who quit on the field and got traded for a 2013 5th round pick LIKE TO DO will make Bill Belichick cave in cater to them.
They will do what they are told, or they will be on the bench or gone. Haven't we figured that out after all these years?
Carter is coming here in competition for a sub package pass rusher first and foremost, and assuming the base remains the 34, he will have to play OLB to get on the field in those situation. If he can't he will be on the bench or cut.
Haynesworth likes to play one gap. Guess what, BB doesn't. Haynesworth will almost without question be on the field in the base either as a 43 DT or a 34 DE being told to play 2gap discipline and dominate his area of the field. In fact, that is what he does best. He will also have the opportunity to be able to be on the field to pass rush in sub packages.
If Albert and Andre decide to tell BB that he needs to play the defense they like best, or don't give full effort in the defense called, they will not be NE Patriots very long. I hope this can clear this up a bit.
