mooby 10-01-2010, 04:45 AM Washington Redskins tackle Albert Haynesworth hesitated before cashing bonus check - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5635659)
Just a little more AH info. I know there is going to be someone say I so tired of the AH story.
I kinda wish he just told the staff he wouldn't take the 21 mil so we could've gone our seperate ways. Other than goal line defense I haven't seen much of an impact and to be honest I can't tell if it's because he's not putting maximum effort in or if he's honestly getting his ass kicked.
MonkFan4Life 10-01-2010, 08:55 AM I'm fine with him being here. I'm kind of getting tired of the "Haynesworth Issue" and not because of Albert himself. Shanny needs to set his ego aside because you can't keep trotting out guys that are not as good as he is while we get gashed. Is he the best ? No, it his first year playing this position but put that effer out there. All of this should've been over after he played the entire 4th preseason game so stop all the bullshit. Put Haynesworth in the game and let that dude get comfortable. We need pressure and the guys that are out there aren't cutting it.

Then he should get a lot of snaps cause teams are gonna be on our goal line all year long in this worthless excuse for a defensive scheme. Hey Coach Blache! I will always defended you!! You cant take our freedom!!!!!!:benched:
#56fanatic 10-01-2010, 10:08 AM on all this Carolina Panthers stuff, trust me when I say this. They WILL NOT take on a salary like Haynesworth. I live in Charlotte, and all the people are pissed at this organization for going on the cheap. Steve Smith BEGGED & PLEADED the organization to give him some help at WR in the offseason. Said "I will be #2, just give me someone on the opposite side" which we all know they didn't. he was begging the trade for boldin, begging for TO, for Houshmenzadah and the management did absolutely nothing. They will be trading one of the two RB's, but not until the offseason. And Fox will be gone at years end, as well as Marty Herny (GM). We do not want Steve Smith on this team. He is a head case, diva, premadonna what ever else you want to call him. He goes off on the sidelines on whom ever the QB is if they dont get him the ball enough, calls out people all the time, says I am going to get "mines!" If all goes well, then he keeps his mouth shut, he has a lot of fire and gives everything he has, but honestly we dont need his attitude around here.

Monkfan - I have said the exact same thing over the last week. This stuff has to stop, put Haynesworth on the field and let him play. People want to get on his ass because he hasn't done much, well when you are only on the field for 1 or 2 plays every 3 or 4 series it makes it hard to get into the game. Shanny definately is trying to prove a point, and right now Haynesworth being silent and saying all the right things is winning the court of public opinion. that is the way i see it.
#56fanatic 10-01-2010, 10:15 AM The Best defensive Lineman that ever played the game. Man he sure was off his rocker for even saying that cause he is not even the best lineman in the NFC East right now. I hope AH turns it around and just goes out every Sunday and destroy who ever is playing over him.
1st thing - he didn't say he was the best lineman ever...he said he wanted to become the best lineman ever. What is wrong with that??
I honestly don't think behind the scenes that Shanahan is engaged in this stand off with AH that some seem to think. At this point it's probably up to Haslett as what packages he's playing in, and AH probably just hasn't won his complete trust yet.
Plus with the late start he got in the 3-4 he's just not where he needs to be yet. AH himself just said the transition has been difficult. With the problems we're already having, I'm not sure tossing a guy in there that's not 100% comfortable in what he's doing is really the answer.
#56fanatic 10-01-2010, 10:20 AM I just wanted to share something with all of you regarding Albert Haynesworth. Everyone is jumping on his ass and calling him this or that or the person you THINK he is. I am not sure if you people here saw the news piece on a guy that had a rare cancer and got to get a VIP walk through of the redskins facility, meet the players, coaches, go through the locker room, meeting rooms, film rooms all that. It was aired probably about a month 1/2 ago on ABC. Kevin Robinson was his name. That is my best friend, and unfortunately he passed about a month ago, not long after that story aired. the point of this post is to let you know AH is honestly a good dude. This was when he wasn't speaking the media, fans or anything and he walked by Kevin and asked if he could have a picture, and AH turned around and said absolutely! Walked over talked to Kevin and his wife for a while. He was the nicest guy he met all day, and he met a ton of the players. Albert said that all the stuff that he goes through means absolutely nothing, that Kevin is an inspiration to a lot of people. I just thought after all the AH bashing, I needed to share that story.
over the mountain 10-01-2010, 10:35 AM Thank you for sharing 56, Im sorry to hear about your best friend. condolences to you, his family and wife.

Hell of a story and most of all I am truly sorry to hear about your friend. It seems that he had some good moments on his way out. You'd like to hear more stories like this but there are so many that havent met him and their words are more relieble because they match the rumor mill.
As far as his game, I just hope he gets a shot on the field. Matt, I'm with you on not throwing him out there if he isn't quite comfortable but honestly is anyone on this defense comfortable yet ? It doesn't look that way. Hell Haslett himself doesn't seem that comfrotable but this team has to put the best players on the field. I learned how to drive on the road, not it a classroom. You gotta get that man out there.
