Well, he did play more last week than we've seen so that should be a good sign. Not sure how many snaps exactly but he did seem to be in there alot.

#56Fanatic, my condolences on your friend. And I don't doubt that Haynesworth has good qualities as a human being. As do most other players. From people I've spoken to AH is a good guy

However, as cold as this may sound, that's not an excuse for the decisions he chosen to make as a football player. More importantly, the decisions he chosen to make as a member of our favorite team-the Washington Redskins. He made the adult decision not to attend the OTAs and mini-camps and work out on his own. I've got absolutely no problem with that. But when you do all that, I would expect that he would come ready to pass a standard conditioning test and know the defensive schemes. That's my issue with him. I don't mean to take anything away from what he did for your friend, that was certainly a tremendous gesture. But, Danny Wuerffel was with very little argument the nicest, most genuine Redskin I ever met. Absolutely loved talking to him as a person. As a Skins fan, I didn't want him on the field.

Heart felt condolences to you and yours 56.

Nice story about AH. Good to hear he is a person with a heart.

But I have to agree with Smoot on his points as well.

SS hit it on the head here. I have no doubts AH has a good side to him, but the way he's conducted his business in football matters has been piss poor to say the least.

I'm sorry but I don't think AH deserves a medal for talking to this guy or taking a picture with him. It's what all but the most horrible human beings would do in that situation. It doesn't do a thing to change my opinion of haynesworth as a greedy narcissistic individual that doesn't deserve the honor of wearing a redskins uniform.

I wasn't trying to get it to sway your impression of AH. I was just showing that what the perception of most is not always the true meaning of a person. People think TO is an ass. My neighbors daughter has brain cancer and has to go to philly for treatments every so often. TO use to come to the hospital (unannounced) and sit and talk to the kids and the families. My neighbor specifially, he sat in their room for 45 minutes. I think the media has so much to do with influencing peoples perceptions of athletes. Now, some of them are true to what is portrayed, but like AH, TO seems to be a pretty nice dude when the camera's are not on him. AH has been a great guy in the locker room, playing around with the players and guys think he is a pretty cool guy to hang with.
Now what he did in the offseason was pretty shitty. But he has come in, has done everything the coaches have asked and put in extra work. He is a dominant player and needs to be on the field, CONSISTANTLY. not just a play here or there.

Seems like i have too many horrible stories of sick people. that is it. No more sick people stories.

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.


Sometimes we as fans like to judge People based on their Performance on the field.. NFL stars are just like the rest of us, we all make mistakes but we are all just HUMAN.. Sorry about your friend man, Seems like AH is down to earth .

Huh? Horrible human being. D.Green never auto/photo's with fans does that make him worse than AH. This is what I have heard atleast.

DG28 is my all time fav Redskins by the way.
