WP: Haynesworth will be at Redskins Park Monday

Haynesworth will be fine. I just hope nothing comes of this....

Report: Haynesworth will show up for the start of offseason workouts | ProFootballTalk.com (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/14/report-haynesworth-will-show-up-for-the-start-of-offseason-workouts/)

Coach Mike Shanahan recently said that he "wants [his] leaders" to participate, a statement that technically violates the rules of the offseason workout program. In past seasons, the NFLPA typically looked the other way regarding such comments; given the open hostility between the league and the union, there's a chance that such comments will be challenged moving forward.

I'm guessing more of PFT's BS acting as the NFL nazi/police.

That's why fans who were saying MS needed to be more forceful weren't seeing the statement right. I am confident that MS phrased it in a way that is allowed. He didn't threaten fines, or say it was mandatory, only that he would be disappointed. Now if someone doesn't show up and the very next day they are released, then PFT might be onto something.

MS might have gotten in some hot water had he said he expects the leaders to participate. I don't see anything wrong him saying he wants them to.

It's "official":

@redskinsblog: Haven't done a full roll call but definitely saw Clinton Portis, Haynesworth, and LaRon Landry at #Redskins Park today.

Fred Davis there too.

Honestly I don't see why it's a big deal. The coach could say he wants everyone there for all I care but if he tries to hold someone accountable for not showing up is when I think the NFLPA should get involved. Why get them involved in every piddly comment. But PFT did bring up a good point that the owners and union are not getting a long right now so I could see something being said no matter how nit picking it was.

The signing of Kemo was a big sign to Haynesworth that he wont be stuck playing NT all day and getting double teamed all day. I think the plan is to draft another capable NT really late in the draft or even undrafted rookie. Kemo when healthy will play the nose when in the standard 3-4. Haynesworth will play DT in the standard 4-3 and goaline D. But what has everyone quietly licking their chops is the prospects of Haynesworth playing DE in the 3-4, with pass rushers Orakpo, Carter, Jackson and Jarmon coming from every angle at LB and decent DB pass rushers like Horton and Landry, we might finally have the start of an attacking Defense. You know Fletch is not bad at blitzing either. Who would you double team? Could cause some problems for opposing OL.
The second happiest besides Hayneswoth if this works would be our DB's. When you have an excellent pass rush your DB's day is easy.
Imagine that, finally having a defense that dictates to the offense...not the other way around. Hhhmmmm.
Blache who?

I got so tired of his excuses. Yeah that's what I was saying. Haynesworth was never in the equation as a NT. He was always going to be a DE or DT in a 3-4.

Meanwhile, in Oakland JaMarcus Russell doesn't show up. It's voluntary, but still...

dang jamarcus . . . what a freakin waste.

edit - does "lethargy addiction" really exist or is it just the oakland media jokingly diagnosing j russell with this?

That's one of the problems that buffets cause...some people don't know when to leave and end up missing important obligations as they get lost in their plate.
