It seems like he is making excuses. I heard the whole interview and kept saying he just wanted to play. He is the one that said he talked to the coaches and said he would be better out of the 3-4 scheme and they said OK. [B]He also stepped aside and let someone else take his starting position.[/B] If you really just wanted to play you would have never stepped aside.I think he is just trying to save face to bad for both sides.

I am guessing that most everyone here that reads that will feel the same, that is a guy who just doesn't get it. I would add that he almost made it sound like he was calling on Dan Snyder to intervene:
[quote=AH]"Let’s concentrate on playing football, which is what we’re paid to do and win games. That’s what Mr. [Dan] Snyder wants, that’s what I want, and hopefully that’s what other people want.”[/quote]
Hopefully, what Mr. Snyder wants is for AH to do what the coaches tell him to do.

and...
[quote=AH]“You think at some point they would get it, not me having to go [upstairs] and say it,” Haynesworth said.
[/quote]
I can't tell by the article if upstairs refers to Shanahan or Snyder, but to me, the whole point is that at some point he should have "gotten it"

That article nearly made me sick :(

For years now, controversy and issues having little to do with football and how the game is/should be played on the field has consumed the mindset of many Redskin fans.

This new age of communication in many ways only serves to add fuel to the fire. Every day there seems to be a new issue that contributes to a distracted mind and prohibit players from concentrating on what's important. The publicized issue that now exists between Phillip Daniels and Bryan Mitchell is a typical example of a situation that should have no place serving as a player distraction in the middle of a football season. Current and former players calling each other out publicly are issues, [minor though they may be] are happenings that just don't need to be. It's so different for me because it's a far cry from anything I've ever been accustomed too.

Re: Big Al suspended for the remainder of season
 

I heard the V Holiday int today replayed on the M & M show. It was funny as hell. Like VH is saying, the players would drop on the field and yell "who am I?" imitating Big on the infamous 7 second lying on the ground play. VH was not nasty about it, but he totally said Big was not a good teamate. Could not be depended on. Dogged it. Resisited everything the coaches tried to do, etc.
While these are things anybody with a brain has observed (and fans see and know very little of what really goes on), it is RARE for ANY player and far more still for multiple long term, established and probowl caliber players would say publicly.
SEE YA' Big
The next time I want a player that can handle the rigors of the NFL, I'll dip into the ESPN clerical pool as at least they can pass the PFT???
He does not know it yet, but he F... himself with all this BS

To me that is one of the remarkable things in this sad saga. I've never seen players call out other players they way that they have AH.

Re: Big Al suspended for the remainder of season
 

I know there are some Haynensworth apologist here that will say Big Al didn't get a fair shake with [EMAIL="Shanahan...Bull%#@......He"]Shanahan...horsehockey......He[/EMAIL] didn't like the "scheme" or the coachs last year and went upstairs and behind their backs to cry ....well he got what he wanted...they got fired and he got "new Coachs"....now we still don't like the scheme or Haslett and everyone is picking on Al...again.
Shanahan is the "HEADCOACH".....he is "God" when it comes to that team ...you do what you are told....end of story ,doesn't matter if you make 100 mill or 100 thousand..if he tells you to be the kicker ...you do it.



There are some EX Redskin coachs laughing real hard right now.

I have to agree. When I am not to pissed for rational thought...........I think, MAN Big A REALLY hosed himself in DC and possibly anywhere for that matter. Really could have been something.
Yah, he absconded some cash........
HUGE talent and nobody is more appreciative than Dan with the money. He is now a marked man now. He will never get that kind of pay day again and he could have. Somebody will give him a shot, but with caution.
I heard a sports guy today speculating that he does not like Football.....just what it can bring...like $$$$
Shame........

When his career is over and he gets a little older, he will reflect back and realize his mistake. The money won't be as important as what he could have been. He will leave no legacy and eventually be forgotten completely. Enjoy it while you can AH. HTTR!

The Carter philosophy is one Albert would have been best served by adopting and adhering too. He recognizes, and has accepted his limitations in making the switch from down lineman to L/B, but he didn't complain and made the most of his abilities, limited though they may be. True definition of a team player.

AC is a pro's pro, too bad guys like him and Fletcher couldn't rub off on AH. I'm sure they tried, but AH is just a dope who's never going to get it.

Re: Big Al suspended for the remainder of season
 

Even a guy like Philip Daniels, people forget that at Georgia and early in his NFL career with the Seahawks he was basically the Orakpo of his day. A hybrid linebacker-RDE with pass rushing skills who ultimately found that he could either let injuries that hurt his quickness end his career or he could find a niche as a run stopping LDE and last in the league for over 15 years.

[quote=SFREDSKIN;766483]Better than releasing him in my opinion. Recoup some cash and let him rot, **** HIM!![/quote]

[B]That is my thought too!! Why should we release him so he can sign somewhere else and then grin up in the cameras because he was another person that came to washington to get paid and not play like they did to get the big contract.[/B]

[B]1) Adam Archuleta
Redskins, in 2006, paid him a seven-year, $35 million deal that included $10 million up front. [/B]

[B]2) Jeff George
George got a four-year, $18 million pact -- to back up Johnson. [/B]

[B]3) Brandon Lloyd
Washington traded third- and fourth-round picks to the 49ers, then gave Lloyd -- before he'd ever taken an offseason rep -- a $31 million deal with more than $10 million up front.[/B]

[B]4) Deion Sanders
At 32 years old, Sanders was released by Dallas and was immediately signed -- get this -- to a seven-year, $56 million deal that included a $8 million bonus. [/B]

[B]5) Jeremiah Trotter
Washington signed its former division rival to a seven-year, $35 million deal that came with $7 million guaranteed. [/B]

[B]Bruce Smith deserves dishonarable mention also.
