The Tennessee Titans play some Tennessee Packers on Sunday.
Titans defensive tackle "Fat" Albert Haynesworth will square off against a couple of familiar faces Sunday at LP Field, but he is halfway disappointed he won't see Brett Favre.
"I had my helmet and stuff ready for him to sign and now he is not going to be there,'' Haynesworth said. "I'll definitely be bringing that Green Bay helmet when we play the Jets.''
On Green Bay's offensive line: center Scott Wells and tackle Chad Clifton, former teammates of Haynesworth at the University of Tennessee. Another Packer/Volunteer is DT Justin Harrell who may not appear in the game, still recovering from off season back surgery
Haynesworth will line up across from Wells, who played his high school football at Brentwood Academy, on most plays Sunday.
"It won't be a dirty thing. We'll just be out there competing,'' Haynesworth said. "He is strong, real strong. He was like a world champion wrestler in high school, so he has strong hands and knows how to use leverage.''
Haynesworth, who has six sacks this season and has been dominant in many games, was on a roll at his locker after practice Thursday, providing a number of one-liners.
He complimented the Titans offensive line, which has allowed just two sacks.
"I am glad I don't have to face those guys,'' he said, "because I wouldn't be talked about as much as people talk about me now.''
Asked how he'd do against the Titans line, he smiled and said he'd probably have "four or five" sacks.
Haynesworth also revealed that defensive line coach Jim Washburn has another Fathead life-sized cutout photo, this time of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but it hasn't been put on the meeting room wall.
Last week Washburn posted a Fathead of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, but the Titans didn't sack him Monday night.
Haynesworth said the cutout of Rodgers "is still in a box. It was sitting beside our door. I thought it was Peyton and he was going to send it back and get his money back.''
As for the Cheeseheads worn by Packers fans, Haynesworth doesn't want to be near them Sunday.
"It is kind of weird,'' he said. "I wonder what their hair smells like with cheese on their head, especially with mold.''
