Haynesworth might learn a few things about Shanahan from Plummer

CRedskinsRule,

I think you meant SONAR. Radar is for finding things in the air. Sonar is for things in the water. That aside, good point.

Absolutely, sorry for the misuse and thanks for correcting it.

If I was Haynesworth and I was determined to work out with my guy I would at least show up for the voluntary minicamp and also stop by to learn the defense a day or two a week.

It looks like Haynesworth is determined to get off this team soon by forcing their hand. He is unhappy here and wants to leave. He will never live up to that contract and he knows it. It sounds like he is a mid-west, low key guy who doesn't want any negative media attention. It was a horrible signing, and the new staff is stuck with an overpaid and unhappy talent. I think they would accept a 2nd round pick for him on day 2 of the draft. This is an unfortunate set back as he will be difficult to replace, but one the team seems destined to make.

Do you have any source that backs this statement up? Again if you read the article I posted and his discussion about the defense, you don't here the intransigent behavior that you are describing.

Where did you dig all these assumptions up from the National Enquirer? You have a lot of assumptions in this post that you seem to be passing off as truths.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. I can't remember where I read it, but I have read that Haynesworth is not a 'big city' guy. I also work with someone who knows the Haynesworth family, and grew up with his Albert's uncle. He said that Albert loved the University of Tennessee; the area, the people. He enjoyed playing for the Titans, and that Albert grew up a shy, introverted kid, but very temperamental. And that the criticism he received here really bothered him. He didn't say anything about Albert wanting to be traded or averse to the 3-4. Personally I think he would be fine with a trade, and he doesn't want to play in a 3-4.

It seems obvious to me that he came here for the money first and foremost. I have felt that he never seemed to really fit in here. He has made statements about the 3-4, his refusal to attend OTAs and possibly not attending voluntary camp just sends a very negative message as far as I am concerned. I do not see any way this gets resolved except for a trade. Of course I can't get in Shanahan's head, but I believe he will get whatever he can for Haynesworth and move on.

Too much smoke in the air for it all to be misrepresentation.

Very good two part article on AH. In the 2nd part he talks some about last year, and about the 3-4, and what he and Haslett have talked about. It's not earth shattering, but it is the most cohesive take on AH's point of view I have seen.

Because it sounds stupid. This reminds me of someone who kept referring Campbell as Jason Candle from the GEICO commercial. :doh:
That's the one that I was trying to think of to reply to Smoot's post about worst nickname ever.. to say yeah it's even worse than that one

Interesting article on Haynesworth, sounds like a good guy and someone with long term, broad ranging plans for the future.
I just wonder about his commitment to football at this point with all that money, and all the other stuff he has going on.

Yeah but that at least was based on a commercial that even Campbell himself was in poking fun at himself
