I don't care one wit about stat lines for interior linemen. He may have been yanked on a lot of downs, but that has nothing to do with his play and has everything to do with the stupidity of the Commanders' coaches, because when he was in the game, he was playing very well.

I'm not arguing whether or not he's a good player. I'm sure we all can agree on that. He's just not a 'great' player.

Like you just stated - the mouth breather plays well when he's in the game. Funyon boy doesn't put in the effort to be a great player. He doesn't have the cardio to put forth consistent effort.

And that ankle injury? I call bull**** on that. Fatboy mailed it in once they started losing games and used the injury to hide the fact that he's an underachieving lard ***.

Can you tell that I detest him and all things Foreskins?

That is neither here nor there. This thread is about stock going up or down. And it's stupid to have his stock going down after this past game.

Haynesworth was playing the vast majority of their snaps this season before his injury. If he's healthy, and the coaches are currently pulling him, it's about the coaches being stupid, not Haynesworth's play.

But Moseley didn't say anything about Sunday.
Then he's an idiot for claiming a player's stock can rise or fall without looking at what he actually does on the field.

On two of our short yardage attempts it was Haynesworth that blew up the line. I can think of at least two times that he not only beat Kosier but literally threw him back 5 yards. That Phillips sack was all Haynesworth.

Those are 5 plays he completely DOMINATED. Name one where he was even below average.

blind not to see that Haynsworth completely dominated the Cowboys' O-line. It wasn't only Kozier either, as Gurode was swallowed too on a couple of plays. Had his name been Joe Nobody, they would have been talking about him as franchise cornerstone.

Now, keep in mind that he did this while being something he richly and DESERVINGLY gets criticized for: out of shape.

This guy is mostly going on sheer physical talent, and that's a shame because if he'd put some real work in, he'd be a devastating force that could take over games.

I, for one, am glad he's lazy bumb. I don't ever want that light bulb to go on while he's wearing a Deadskins uniform because if it ever did, we'd be in huge trouble.

1. Jay Ratliff, Cowboys defensive tackle: He absolutely took over the game Sunday. He finished with two sacks but he also stuffed the Commanders' running game. Center Casey Rabach and the Skins' guards had no chance against Ratliff's power and speed.

Also a special mention here for Tony Romo, who had a superb December. If Roy Williams makes a play on the ball, Romo would've made it through the month without a single interception.
I love the way Mosley works in a Romo mention and Roy11 jab in Rat's write up.

If that was one of his best games ever, then he wasn't even worth big mac. Someone over at ES charted his every play. Hour sat out almost half of the defensive snaps. When he was in he rarely made an above average play. (his stat line wad 1 tckl 2 asst 0 sacks, ff.

I think the stats are misleading. Even though I don't think it was one of his best games ever, he was very disruptive, especially on those short-yardage plays where he pushed into the backfield and created a giant obstacle that messed up the run. He also got good pressure on Romo going up mainly against Kosier.

Haynesworth actually did play very well. He didn't penetrate the line too often but he stuffed up his gap wherever he was.

Let it also be known that I really, really hate Brent Celek. Your stock doesn't rise after you're left wide open on busted coverage to run un-touched for a score.

I will never, ever, get over the fact that this column should just be called something to the effect of:

Guys who played good last week.
