Is Albert Haynesworth The Missing Piece or An Unnecessary Distraction?

you can rationalize if you have a very deep team with strong leadership on both side of the ball to “manage” fat Albert but this team is way too fragile and young. It only makes sense if you bring him in at minimum salary (low base) with incentives where if he starts to pout, you simply cut him. Our most pressing need is OL and that’s what we need to address before camp. not impressed with his act after taking $21 mm a couple of months ago. I’m a seller.

I don’t know if you saw ANY of Ro’s games at ALABAMA, But what I saw was, When the helmet goes on, U saw those SINGLETARY eyes staring thru the mask !!! This was of course before he donned the The Darth Vader look with the Visor. He never volunteers for the lead, He Earned it….in H.S., At Bama, and at the beginning of OTA’s, he was deemed as the single caller for the Defense. That’s leadershp material !!!! And that’s BIG for a rookie coming in !!!

1) Now Far as Fat Al, playing for us, U saw the line up earlier, MONSTROUS front Four !!!
2) The balance of his contract is affordable!!!
3) Say we in it to win it, and midway thru the season, we’re doing WAY BETTER than any of us dreamed !!! You don’t think a ring wouldn’t boost the Baby ego, He’s got going on ??? Bottom line, the Ring is the pot of gold, at the end of the Rainbow for all football players !!!
4) If he even looks like he tanked 1 play, in a meaningless game, the threat of being cut immeadiately should be hanging over his head, until he shows management something different !!!

5) Far as Im concerned ( Like I got Some Say so ) it’s a win/win situation for the Silver & Black !!!

I don’t know about you guys, But I’m ALL IN, for this season, Like I think Big Al D. is !!!! As the Beatles song states: LET IT BE, LET IT BE !!! LET THE RAIDERS KICK ALL AZZ, LET IT BE!!!! One very happy RAIDERFAN4LYFE HERE !!!!!!

Richard Seymour, John Henderson, Albert Haynesworth and LaMarr Houston as our front four then put Kamerion Wimbley,Rolando McClain and Trevor Scott or Matt Shaughnessy as our LBs even if they which to a 3-4 for some plays that would be Seymour Haynesworth and Houston as our front three all I can say is WOW!!!!!!! Warren Sapp better change his plates b/cuz we would have the new QBKILRS. I hoping Al Davis would realize the run stop def. we’d have plus the blitzing package if we’re to bring Mike Mitchell up to the line. I would trade Tommy Kelly (another BIG contract BUST) and a 4th for Haynesworth. You’ll clear up cap space and bring in a impact player. Then I would try to make a move for Jared Gaither (OT) who wants out from Baltimore trade a third in 2012 draft his contract is very doable.

what concerns me is all of the things that his teammates have been saying about him being a selfish player. I’m starting to get a very TO feeling about him.

Get Haynesworth, T.O. and bring back JaMarcus. Then hold a swap meet in the empty stands on Sundays. Because that’s the only way the Raiders will make money. We just dumped a big problem, don’t go backwards and let another fat-assed ego in our locker room.

a line of seymour, henderson, haynseworth, and houston would be dominant against the run, but i don’t know if it can generate enough pass rush. henderson won’t be able to get after the qb anymore, and lamarr houston was never known for his passrush ability. heck he played DT his last couple of years in college. but henderson is the kind of guy who cant be moved, especially with one defender. haynseworth will require doubles, which gives houston and seymour one-on-one opportunities.

i doubt a trade would happen strictly because of haynesworth’s contract, though i think he would be a solid fit, and he has NEVER shown disgruntlement while in a 4-3

yup.

Haynesworth CAN be a force, when he wants to be. Of late, that has been too few occasions. When he is NOT motivated, Haynesworth is only worth a fraction of his salary. I would say that the odds on his not being that motivated are fairly high, and that a team just learning to come together would not be strong enough to goad him into better efforts.

No thanks, let him be someone else’s headache.

I’m just gonna say this & shut the f@#k up, why wouldn’t the Raiders pick up another hog?.They’ve revamped the entire team, don’t stop now.

no comparison. Fat Albert only plays well during contract year, period. Can’t be bothered to work outside pay time. TO, loath/hate him, etc actually brings it. He just can’t resist the circus act and craves attention. TO is about vanity where money is his benchmark to compare himself to other WR but he actually loves the game and unfortunately, the entertainment showtime aspect of the NFL way too much.

no. no. no. are you crazy? and warren sapp was at the end of his career. sapp was a leader on that defense. while moss was walking his 3 and outs, sapp was busy getting the ball back. haynesworth is an asshole! only an idiot like dan snyder would pay him $100 million! al davis must stay the course. and fuck you t.o.! i known that you are creating those accounts. no real raider fan wants your crazy ass. we mold what we have. chaz, murph, higgins, ford, and dhb sounds like a tight squad to me. fords is fast as shit and has a pretty nice highlight reel on youtube, check it out. boldin was the only guy available to be our wise old veteran. that ship has sailed. so lets just keep the path and stay away from these fanasies that oakland is in any shape to take on fat albert and his 100 MILLION DOLLAR SALARY!!!!!!!!!!! ok?
