I heard that both are there if you want to trade for them. Boy i would like for them both to play for the Titans. If Big Al and Big John played together NOBODY in the NFL could run inside of them. Not gonna happen but boy that would be fun to watch.

31. I think that the likelihood of either Henderson or Haynesworth being in Tennessee next season is low. Even if Jacksonville wants to move Henderson, they would like to avoid trading him to a division rival, and Jeff Fisher has essentially said that there is no chance of trading for Haynesworth.

John hasn't been the same since he hurt his back. I'd like to have Albert , but it's not likely to happen. That contract he signed last year makes it unlikely he'll end up anywhere other than DC.

Pretty scary to think that they once played on the same defensive line at UT. That 2002 team.... we had the talent to be undefeated!

Haynesworth appears to be a cancer to the locker room, which is why the Skins are already trying to part with him. And when he left the Titans, he was bad-mouthing Jeff Fischer quite a bit. I don't think he's someone the Titans (or most teams for that matter) want to risk at this point.

That was the year we lost to LSU in Champ game wasn't it? Geez, go back and look at our roster, it was insane.

Your right. After the SEC Championship this year they asked Sabin if that was the most talented team he has ever faced. (Florida) and he so no the Tennessee team that had Hanesworth and Henderson was.

The fact that we didn't win a National Championship when we had both of those guys on the D-Line and Casey Clausen at QB is the biggest indictment of the Fulmer regime and our downhill slide into mediocrity.

Agreed! Talent wise we were as good as anyone. The lack of an SEC championship/national title birth that year was 1000% attributed to coaching. We put LSU's starting QB out of the game and let a back up come in and proceed to pick our defense apart. Thinking back on it, it was quite embarassing. I don't think Chavis made one single adjustment the entire game.

I remember that game well. I was a lieutenant at Fort Stewart, GA and I took a couple of my NCOs to a sports bar to watch the SEC Championship game . . . what an ordeal. I thought that when we knocked Davy out of the game, it was pretty much over, but we then proceeded to make the back QB for LSU look like Joe Montana (sound familiar to anyone?). I still get sick to my stomach when I think about it . . .

Then, do you remember the infamous squib kick against UGA when we handed that game over to the Bulldogs on a silve platter? Playing 10-15 yards off the receivers with a short field . . . the good ol' "Mustang Package" if I remember correctly. This led to that absolutely stupid "hob-nailed boot" commentary from that senile idiot UGA broadcaster that we have to listen to at least once every season when ESPN plays recaps of exciting finishes from college football history. For all the respect and gratitude that I have to Fulmer and Chavis for some good years, it kills me when I think about that season and what should have been. After 2001, we really went downhill and that is how we ended up where we are now. It was combination of a lot of different things, but this was the beginning.

We also knocked their starting running back out of the game, Toefield I think, and their backup came in and ran all over us. I can't remember his name.

yeah i thought we should have at least gone for henderson! i mean with henderson brown and derek morgan on the dline we have a awsome dline again. now we dont have lendale white and lost 2 picks and a DL lineman vickerson for some 4th round ucla corner....

i mean i have faith in jeff fisher and sometimes he gets a home run but i think this is why he never gets over the hump to win a championship. he NEVER makes big moves

I'll never forget going from the high of scoring the long go ahead td to the jaw dropping low of the squib kick, hobnail boot loss.

Man just a bit different approach to coaching and that team was playing for a NC and perhaps the momentum continued. The coaching approach was to play it close, get the lead and try to shorten the game. That flawed approach against good teams loaded with explosive offensive talent and the lack of in game adjustments, especially with Chavis, just doomed us against similarly talented teams with better coaching.

Also the offense under Sanders had become increasingly undisciplined and sloppy. These issues were somewhat masked by talent, but as the talent declined they become critical.

IF making big moves was all it took to win championships, the Redskins would have won like the last 3 or 4


then I realize you're a yankees fan, so that does explain that mentality a bit more

I agree that the 2001 team was one of the most talented we've ever had. But just so you guys know, as talented as we were, we were still 18 point underdogs to Florida that year because they were pretty amazing too. And they weren't even ranked first in the nation at that time, they were second behind Miami who happened to be fielding one of the most talented teams in college football history that year. Just a little perspective. But no way should we have lost to LSU

The talent of our starting lineups is pretty comparable looking back. They wouldn't have ran on us, but they would have ripped us a new one through the air.

Haynesworth is not available for trade; Shanahan is insistant on that; it's just rumors[/QUnew coach at Washington is gonna run a 3-4 defence. Dont think Big Al is happy with that.

the new coach has also told everyone - repeatedly - on camera - that the team is not trading around haynesworth


if there was a door ever open on it, it was less than a week and they didnt get what they wanted for it so they slammed it shut
