As far as the arguments about the talent vs. confidence argument goes I watched the Oilers from day one and they had more moral victories than any team in history, but the day they drafted the "Tyler Rose" that all changed. They offensive linemen knew that if they gave him just a hint of daylight he was gone and that turned them into one of best offensive lines in the NFL. That matured the defense also and the Oilers never made it to the SB until they got to Tenn, but they never accepted moral victories again.

BTW, although I know a lot of people on this board don't like him, but it is very likely that Albert Haynesworth is not going back to the redskins. He happens to be one of the best players in the NFL at the position that we need most in the DL. His complaint was after he signed with the Redskins, Shanny came into coach and wanted to change to to a 3-4 from the 4-3 that they had signed AH for. He did not want to play NT and then he and Shanny got crosswise. He didn't handle it well but it was not his creation IMO. That would immediately transform one of our biggest problems into one of our biggest advantages against other teams. Then the draft and rest of FA could be devoted to LB's and DB's with a OL or two.

You know there's really something downright intoxicating about contemplating the acquisition of Fat Albert. If a team could structure the right contract including incentive clauses and options that would permit them to release him from the roster under certain scenarios including those based upon his performance/hehavior, maybe it could work even for the Texans and a stodgy old owner like Bob McNair ? He's the kind of downlineman we've never had here who could potentially make a huge difference for our defense.
