Packers OTAs Begin Next Week, Haynesworth Could Become A Viking, and Aaron Rodgers Can Run

Supposedly in his I’d like to be traded campaign he mentioned MN as a place he’d like to be traded. He isn’t in control and there is no way the ’skins will trade them for what the people at DN are talking about. Before the draft there was a rumor they wanted a high 2nd rounder for him and the people at DN would like to make that trade. The issue though is that was before a huge roster bonus that he got right before the draft so he is probably more expensive than a high second rounder now.

for the redskins. First their draft picks will likely be low if they have a similar season so if you get say a first, its going to be a late one. On top of that, you are helping a team you have to play later in the year and also a team that you might have to get by in the playoffs if you think you have a chance of getting there. I can’t see how the owner would be willing to just dump him after giving him all of that. I would need a HUGE ransom in return. Players sometimes take a year or two to adjust adjust to a new system…he could come out and dominate again this year.

That said, the fact that Haynesworth says he wants to go to the Vikings doesn’t mean jack squat. He has NO control. Of course he wants to go to a title contending team who plays a 4-3 D with other strong D lineman. He has no say or control though…

running game is completely overlooked by virtually everyone (including our own coaching staff and every opposing defense). Now of course I don’t want him going between the tackles and taking a beating, but I feel there should be a couple run/pass option plays after rollouts incorporated into the playbook (especially last year when the pocket was the least safe place on the field). He’s quick on his feet, he knows how to avoid shots and knows where the first down marker is, and no sane defense is going to waste a defender even considering spying on him.

When I tell people about how Aaron Rodgers is the career highest rated QB in NFL history to people (I do this often even though it won’t be an official stat until later this season) I also throw in that he was the #2 rushing QB (damn that Garrard for passing him up in the final game).

He was responsible for many of the sacks we gave up, I would say. Holding the ball drove down his incompletions and INTs, but they were negative plays, and they were his fault.
