Nightshade;4011476 said:If it were the Cowboys it would have been a dumb move. Garrett's got no history of getting something out of disgruntled vets. BB has had success with Corey Dillon and Randy Moss when everyone else thought they were head cases.
It's not just an anti - Cowboy bias.

aggiecurt05;4011587 said:The difference here is timing. Belichick put in his system years ago, and proved it worked- the no nonsense, team based program. As such, the proven system now allows for a few undervalued problem kids (Moss, Haynesworth) because there isn't the risk that they will come in and destroy the whole program that's been established.
Garrett, on the other hand, is having to put his in right now- starting with cutting lazy underachievers. 5 years from now, hopefully, this is the exact kind of move that I hope the Cowboys are in position to take advantage of. If they did it today, it would risk Garrett not getting control of the locker room.

Nightshade;4011709 said:I agree with this but let's hope the next 5 years has one or two SB's in there for Garrett as well because BB's SB victories is a HUGE factor in his ability to retain control and respect in that locker room.

zrinkill;4011481 said:Do not understand why the Pats are still considered geniuses.
They have not won a Superbowl in 7 years and almost ruined their team with Randy Moss.
I'd say that was a fairly good bet.Woods;4011286 said:I guess the Pats are banking that in the right environment that Haynesworth will elevate his play.
We'll see . . . . Don't know if his "heart is in the work" anymore as the saying goes . . . .
Lodeus;4011689 said:He may be an idiot at times, but at his best Haynesworth is a BEAST. Its a steal in my eyes.
jobberone;4012292 said:He will play reasonably well. I question what kind of shape he is in.
