Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

We should just merge all the Haynesworth threads into one mega fat Al thread and just let it die. I'm so tired of hearing about this guy.

I'll agree with that.....Many people are upset with Haynesworth about now. Everything that can possibly be said about him has already been said. Different thread title, but will solicit basically the same type response.......merge!

When did Haynesworth tell close associates he wanted to play for the Vikings?

I guess you could maybe possibly somehow argue that by choosing to workout on his own, he's "dissing" McNabb and Daniels but that, to me at least, is a stretch

Completely untrue. It's mainly because he wants to do his own thing with his own trainer, who he knows can give him a training program tailored to his unique needs. This whole "albert doesn't want to play NT thing" is so blown out of proportion. He said it once, and now everyone assumes that's what everything's about.


I've said it before no body police's the media they can cut/slice/edit a comment anyway they want it & there never questioned on it. IMO.

I seriously doubt it's blown out of proportion. In fact, I think it's completely true and accurate. Do you think Haynesworth and Allen are going to have a presser and say, hey guess what, Albert doesn't want to play nose tackle? I know there are a lot of reports and stories and "sources" out there right now, but I'm inclined to believe someone who's inside the building at Redskins Park a couple of times a week. So Jason Reid is reporting back in January there was a meeting between Haynesworth, Shanny, and Allen and they told him in no uncertain terms that they want him to play nose tackle. Period. They don't want him getting after the quarterback, they want him drawing double/triple teams and eating up space. Haynesworth basically said he wasn't interested in playing NT and that's not what he agreed to when he inked the deal with the Skins.

Now from what I understand, neither side is happy but won't publicly say so. Everybody expects Haynesworth to be in camp on June 16 for the mandatory workouts and he'll say and do all the right things. If for no other reason, he doesn't want to be a distraction and not giving the organization a reason to fine him. Which, by the way, as of yesterday he's not interested returning any of the bonus money in order to buy his way out of Washington.

When Albert Haynesworth was interviewing with teams across the NFL, including the Redskins, he made it clear that he had specific goals in mind. He wanted to get to the quarterback a lot. He wanted to have career stats. He talked about Reggie White's legacy and how he would want to be a Hall of Famer one day. So all of this fuss isn't about him training alone or at Redskins Park. The guy is flat out unhappy about the whole situation.

You know what gets me?

Albert probably doesn't want to play NT but that was never Haslett plan in the first place.

And Even if Haynseworth doesn't want to play NT he's never said it that way.

He's said that he doesn't see himself as having the bodytype or style of play of a NT and he's right he's too good to be a typical 2-gap NT.

Jason Reid is not the only person who goes to Redskins Park

AH hasn't done enough to have earned the $32M. Maybe with Allen and Shanny we'll get some players who care about teamwork, not individual stats. No more AH's or CP's!
Albert was pretty good on the field last year, I imagine that there will be a repeat of that this year. He worked well with his teammates. Despite what we want to believe it's not a part of their contract to be there for voluntary camp, to teach rookies (that's what we have coaches for), or to be media darlings. How many of you guys show up while not getting paid to mentor new people? Outside of the office team-building activities (that don't involve drinking), etc?
