Poor Lions they never even had a chance. Look like they should have drafted Okung and traded for Haynesworth. However I'm actually starting to feel good about keeping Haynesworth especially after seeing this pic. He really has slimmed down.

Holy Crap! Thats Haynesworth??

What, is he showing up to camp in shifts? Looks like only half of him is there. He dropped some serious weight.

Loooks good, would look better if he were practicing with the team though.

So is Albert even stretching before these conditioning tests? Even if he wasn't allowed to participate in practice, standing around and watching your teammates stretch is not showing you actually want to join them, or be there at all.

His lazy attitude is showing through.

I would guess that the team is keeping him from stretching. Don't know that for sure, but imagine being the only guy on the field not stretching. Seems like more mind games trying to get his pride angered enough to pass the dang test.

I wish we could hear the conversations back and forth and know the real scoop. But that won't come out for a good while. So far the rest of the team seems to be doing a good job of setting aside the distraction. I just hope that continues. (or that he gets on the field and starts practicing).

Doubt the coaches would let him run w/o stretching first. As far as him standing there watching, I'm guessing he's been told to do that. If he can't participate what else should he be doing?

[Monkeydad]

Warmups and stretching are not really being a part of the practice...but you could be right...could be coach's orders to stand there and look dumb for the cameras.

[MTK]

If he's not going to participate what's the point of stretching? To me it would look even more dumb if he was standing there alone, stretching.

I have some very interesting news I have gleaned from redskins.com. This is a comment made from the practice report for today. Smoot, have you heard any parts of this??

NEWS: Hello everyone, just talked to my bro and he told me the coaching staff and the front office had a meeting late last night under the radar and are discussing moving on without Kelly and are exploring the possibility of a trade very soon which involves draft picks and a player....My bro told me that they would not use names in the meeting and just referred to the player as the "targeted guy"......We all know it is VJ, but until they booted out all the PR and office staff im sure they wont name names as not to get the media going........Mcnabb was present at the down low meeting but when my bro asked him if he was there to discuss the VJ trade rumors he smiled and told my bro.....No comment, they just needed his imput on some current players and he is not worried about guys not in a Redskins jersey......Thanks again bro, enjoy ya day off!"

really nice to see that the coaching staff is pushing hard for turnovers. seems like jim hayeslett ( as OBC use to call him) is coaching a greg williams type of defense minus the 4-3, lot's of different coverages, blitzing from everywhere and stressing turnovers.

You should check out his other posts. He mentions that his bro mentions that the team has already moved on about Haynesworth and that the media is blowing the situation up. Makes perfect sense to me. He seems credible.

That would be crazy if we pulled off a Kelly for VJ trade. I wonder what we would have to give up?

I think he mentioned Kelly may be cut so that he can latch on to another team.

Another juicy tidbit(fantasy super-sleeper?):

Redskintalk: Austin is already making leaps and bounds in camp, my bro told me the staff is watching alot of Desean Jackson tape in the meeting rooms and are doing alot of the same things in practice that the beagles do with Jackson....He WILL be a big part of the team and from what my bro says he is already being talked about as a weapon this season that could break games open.............Good guess talk!

So who is the mystery "bro"?

scotta2114- He is one of the PR guys that works in the front office, I can't give names but he has full access to the team during camp including most (not all) but most closed door meetings, he is a double threat with a law degree so he sits in alot with agents and over hears alot of what the team will and wants to do in free agency and the draft, he told me TW would be picked a day after he worked out for the Redskins and I told him he was on crack that we were taking Okung......Yup, he rubbed that one in my face right away...lol
