I'd have to agree with you on multiple points. Haynesworth makes a bigger impact on the D-line than any other d-line player in the National Football League. A bold statement, I know, but look back at Titans games last year and see teams double and triple-team him. Yet with that being said, he's also the same guy that's helped off the field every 5-10 plays, so he leads the category of "I'm really tired Coach so take me out" or "Ouch I just bumped heads with someone and I want a breather." Let's see the kind of year he has, and if it's any replica of last season.. give the man his money.  Well written. I’d have to agree with you on multiple points.
