Guys, I know it's tough not to mention the Haynesworth rumor, but this thread is about Angelo Crowell, so let's try to stay on topic. It just makes it difficult and confusing for everyone when Haynesworth is being discussed in multiple threads.

What in the world are you talking about?? Landry is a safety and Haynesworth is a 300-plus DT. That is a stupid comparison.
If we had a run stuffer on the DL we would'nt be counting on Landry to bring down Jacobs at full steam, thats the point.

If you're 'relying' on a safety to stop the RB, you have many problems.

Landry learned his lesson last year about running at Jacobs. If anyone is stopping BJ, it's Horton.

Angelo Crowell was drafted in 03 or 04. I followed him when he played at UVA. He was Germane Crowell's brother (WR at UVA). A very solid LB who is a tackling machine, but after starting for 2 years at strong-side for the Bills, he spent all of 2008 on IR. He could step right in at Marcus W. vacated spot. Oh, but that's right, not only will we not have enough money to sign Crowell or any other free agent, but we will have to release 3 or 4 players to make room for "never played a full season" Haynesworth for 15MIL. Smart move Danny!
If we do indeed sign him to the mega dollars required, our (already top heavy) team will get worse. Our defense, which is already the strength of our team, may get better. But it wasn't our defense losing games last year. So do you think Haynesworth is good enough to keep all of our opponents below 12 points a game this year? Because our offense will not be better with only 4 picks in the draft and an offensive line that will be even older and more fragile than last year. But hey, just listen to Gibbs4life. Because he posts more than most of the rest of us, he has somehow become an expert in these matters. So in a year or two, when we're worse than we are now and we can't dump Haynesworth because of a bloated contract, we'll revisit this thread and see what Gibbs4 life has to defend his "expertise".
Which would you rather have, Haynesworth minus Springs, J. Taylor and Doughty
OR
Crowell, Stacy Andrews + Springs, Taylor and Doughty? They would cost roughly the same thing.
OR
Crowell, Andrews, Clabo, Shaun Cody minus Springs, Taylor and Doughty?
Hmm, improve youth and depth on O-line, LB and D-line? or sign Haynesworth?

I'd absolutely rather have Haynesworth than Crowell, Andrews, Springs, Taylor, and Doughty.
Crowell is coming off an injury. I like Springs a lot but he's hurt way too much. I want no part of Taylor or Doughty, anyway.
Haynesworth was the best defensive player in the NFL last season. I'm not saying he's worth $100M but I'd certainly rather have him than that cluster of mediocrity you just mentioned. If we signed Haynesworth and drafted Orakpo, we could actually (gulp) have a good defensive line for the first time in what? A decade?
