For a guy who was trying to vie for a starting role, he's surely not playing like he's interested in getting one.

It was never a competition to begin with and I think that is why Haywood is just so ho-hum out there. Chandler covers Dirk's lack of defense rotating perfectly.
Also, Haywood is not mobile enough to play zone. He is a one on one guy who can help occasionally on the weak-side.
Also, carlisle implemented the zone even when JJB wasn't on the court.
Interesting quote from Haywood:
“Offensive rebounds come down to team defensive schemes and effort so at the end of the day we got to go and get those rebounds and be much more aggressive than we were tonight.” -Brendan Haywood
