We have seen this formula before the Patriots did: Take a playing card on the back of his first year in football, a guy who happens to drag more baggage than Southwest, bringing to New England on the cheap , put the concept of a patriot spongy Way-often cited but rarely defined principles, which is transformed into an ugly and NFL scouts sit and watch the boy become an integral Belichickian wheel machine.
Rodney Harrison was known as the dirtiest player in the league. Corey Dillon was known as "bad" in Cincinnati. Randy Moss was torpedoed in the locker room and alert, and his way of Auckland. All recovered quickly in New England.
But in anticipation of the acquisition of defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth Redskins for draft pick upcoming fifth round, the affair, one of the biggest off-season, has not yet hardened, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said many times the media on Thursday, has a different meaning. Harrison and Dillon may have headaches prior to his team. Moss may have had an attack of migraine. Even the Patriots at the end of a day awkward, self-centered the other players' Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco just let the Patriots, a problem that can be treated with a couple of Excedrin.
But Haynesworth? This guy is a jackhammer in the cerebellum, and it was a mountain of problems, even though it was at its best. Haynesworth, though, the talent that makes this movement is evident in New England, although they should be transferred to normal Ochocinco.
No need for a list of New England do not even need a receiver revolutionary game will try to fill Ochocinco, there was more to strengthen the defensive front. The Patriots in last place in the league in third down efficiency last year (which allows the conversion rate of 47.1 percent), but could not solve the problems in the project. Haynesworth and there that could be part of one of three men in front of Vince Wilfork and Ty Warren.
When asked, Warren shook his head, given the potential. "It's a great buy each event happens," said Warren. "I have not seen the film last year. But I remember a few years and is a monster talent."

The most obvious problem with Haynesworth in the fact that the Patriots run defense of the base 4.3 and the genesis of the problem in Washington Haynesworth, as they say, their contempt for the regime the team 3.4. He missed a workout, ran out of shape, always plays on the left in a dispute with coach Mike Shanahan, and was suspended for four games at the end of last season.
The Patriots, however, run a variety of packages and the defending team would not proceed if there is no certainty that some Haynesworth may be able to succeed on defense, which is in urgent need of a player caliber. "Of course, defense, two things they want to put pressure on defense and cover the receivers in the game," Belichick said. "This is an excerpt of the defense, these two things work together for a time, coordination and implementation of its information. This is what happens in the game. You can never have enough pass peak and you can never have too many pass coverage. "
You can be too much to handle for the locker room, and is a primary concern for Haynesworth. Patriots were able to de-knuckle heads over some, usually the first band Ochocino pad, man, is a tedious elsewhere. Haynesworth was, however, serious problems with the staff, including a long series of traffic violations and the responsibility for sexual expectations, the maid, who claimed groped Haynesworth. In the two years since the Redskins after signing seven-year $ 100 million contract Haynesworth clearly worn out the patience of his teammates.
But the Patriots relied on their evolutionary history. They have to do with the carrot and the stick down. Carrots are always a chance of winning the Super Bowl. Stick to just cut someone who is more than pests interpreter. Last year, Belichick let Moss go four games in a season 14-2. He could do the same with Haynesworth and at least it would have been the same protection as he was in the past year.
"In general, we are worthy of the guys that are here, even if they are bad or that might be somewhere else," said Wilfork. "But he has always worked for us. One thing that does not change that if they are with us are with us. If not, what do you think? The train is still running without you."
And so, leaving the station at least Haynesworth Patriots as a passenger train. If it is still on board, at the end of the season, one of the biggest problems of this group have been resolved.
