It's F-ing Bears Week!

Unless, he can return to some sort of dominance for the rest of the season. Then he becomes a valuable comodity again. The chances are 50 - 50 as to wether this could happen.

I would assume that AH wants to be part of a winning team again and this team has the heart of winners, they just need to fire on all cylinders to accomplish this feat. AH can be an important cylinder in the engine of this teams defense.

If he can start to fire, he would be helpful not only to himself in getting out here but also to the team and being part of a winner.

If he manages to be an intregal part of the team as we make a run at the playoffs in the last 10 games of the season, then it would make the decision of keeping or trading him even harder for MS and BA to make at the end of the year.

There are to many ways this story can still go to make any educated guesses at this point.

The next test for us is the Bears, so lets start there.

I honestly can't believe how hard it is for some to believe that Albert Haynesworth and Mike Shanahan could co-exist peacefully, and that AH could actually make an impact for this team.

Beemnseven · 10-23-2010, 08:32 PM

Throughout the offseason and despite all the turmoil surrounding him, I always wanted him to stay here because of what he brings to the D, and feared what things would look like if he didn't. But I have to say, in the limited amount of time that AH has seen so far, the product has looked bad whether he's in the lineup or not.

One fact in all this AH drama, he is rested and doesn't have much gametime wear and tear this season.

IF everyone gets on the same page, he could be dominant in the second half of the season and that would be good news for us.

At this point that is what every skins fan should be hoping for.

Ok, since you obviously directed this response to me, let me remind you of a couple of recent developments that do still leave some sort of hope to AH returning to a dominant form in this defense.

His last game against Philly he played very well, get credited for 4 tackle and 2 critical holding penalties. This performance drew praise from our coach in his press conferences.

The last 2 games he missed, 1st his brother passed away and he was excused from the team for the Green Bay game. The second, he missed the implentation of the game plan on Wednsday and did not get back to the team until the Thursday against a superior opponent in the Colts. (BTW we could have won this football game without AH in the lineup just missed on to many opportunities and lost #5's second favorite target to injury in the 4th) I got into a big debate with PocketsStraight as to why AH was held out of the game and that it was the right decision.

He was finally getting some love from coach before his brother's untimely death. He now has a good week and a half of practice under his belt, and I am sure he will be used once again against the Bears.

So for you, Mooby, unless you know MS or AH personally to say that there is no hope for AH and MS to get along is unfounded. You, just like the rest of us need to see how the rest of the season plays out.

I never made any kind of statement of endorsement towards AH, I just basically stated there is still a possibilty of AH to play well.

Actually AMFHOF, my entire comment was directed toward Gus Frerotte's line of thinking that the 'Skins want to bench Haynesworth or play him sparingly for the entire season so we can trade him after the season is over.

And I'm not saying Haynesworth can't be productive, that was nowhere near close to what I was implying. I actually believe that AH can still be effective and coexist perfectly fine with Shanny, I just don't see why even now some people still think Shanny wants to deal him the first good opportunity he gets.

Do you even realize I would agree with you on most, if not all, points you've listed above? Lol come on man.

Got ya buddy.... my bad!

Disregard the post... it is hard at times to get guys meanings, by just reading a set of words. I took your post as a jab at guys who still think he can be productive and coexist with MS.

BTW I find Gus's comments ridiculous as well. That kind of thinking will not bring any kind of value to AH next offseason.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 10-23-2010, 11:19 PM

Reading comprehension at times can be a weakness on message boards. Now that I actually reread your post I got your meaning!! Doh!

I have been studying business law all night and I think I just wanted to get into a debate..... I feel a little stupid for misunderstanding you.

Who knows what is going to happen with this clown, but if we don't play him why would anyone give us a can of peas for him. The GMs would all know he is as good as gone by the end of the year anyway, so why not wait and get him in the FA market.

Just my .02.

Now if Vinny Cerrato returns to GM another team we may be able to get 2 1s and 2 2s out of him.

Problem is that the Skins no longer have the kind of players Vinny C. loves to have - - Devin Thomas, Chad Rinehart, Colt Brennan, Brandon Lloyd et. al.

Even with "Vinny the C" on board in another GM job - - not gonna happen by the way until Steven Segall wins an Oscar - - the Skins don't have what he would be shopping for.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 10-24-2010, 12:18 AM

You may be right but we do have a often injured Malcom Kelly that Vinny may want to take a peak at.

It's all about gameplanning. Our linebackers are beatable.

120 and 94 were his best games this year. That's not the type of production I'm looking for in my supposed number one.
