Haynesworth Sent Home From Practice (rips defensive scheme/coaches)

Washington Redskins send Albert Haynesworth home from practice - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4771769)


Says it was a dicipline problem and Zorn sent him home. Anyone else know anymore details? Doesn't sound to serious and he'll play on Sunday. I bet he still is frustrated with how this team has turned out this season.

Have no clue, but just read about it and came here to see if anybody knew anything.

Redskins Insider - Zorn: Haynesworth discipline 'was necessary' (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/zorn-haynesworth-discipline-wa.html?hpid=artslot)

from the AH appreciation thread

It's obvious from some of his post-game comments of late that the guy is frustrated with losing. I don't think he anticipated this kind of season when he signed here. However, maybe he could find a better way to express himself without being disciplined.

He showed up late to a team meeting was supposed to go home and attempted to practice anyway. It was a small verbal disagreement, nothing major.

Maybe if he was in good enough shape to run out of the tunnel without getting winded he would be able to miss a few minutes of practice without getting disciplined. Big fat fatty. I wish his work ethic was on par with his physical abilities.

Hardly anything groundbreaking or shocking here, but an interesting read none the less:

Haynesworth sounds off on Blache, defense after being sent home - washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/25/AR2009122501780_2.html)

Well the Redskins defense is okay but they still dont get turnovers or score points. Maybe because they don't attack but rather react and play conservative. I would rather have a defense that attacks and forces turnovers which lead to points. Our defense has been last in the league for several years in forcing turnovers, maybe its Blache's scheme.

If Blache isn't here after the season I feel our new d-coordinator should put guys like Haynesworth in the best position to succeed. I wouldn't care if our defense was top ten as long as we forced turnovers, got sacks, and stopped the o when it mattered. Notice how we've been a good yardage wise d but never really been up there in all those other stats. I feel like if we do get a new d-coordinator he should let our playmakers make plays. AKA keep Orakpo on the line, let Haynesworth do his thing like he used to, put Landry at strong safety and keep him there and get some playmaking DB's. That's just my two cents.

Now maybe people here will stop saying we need to bring Blache back, seem like he is trying to run that 1970's Defense against 2010 Offense's, I hope we get a stud of a D-cordinator to come in build our D round the style that fit's our talent.
