Big Al suspended for the remainder of season

[warpaint]

Albert Haynesworth has been told to grow up and be a man.

AH is so upset that someone finally spoke to him Man 2 Man. He goes on a local Radio Station and shows his true colors.

AH only came here because the money was right and our front office was ****ed to shit.

AH bitched, moaned and complained about the scheme last year. He said he wasn't being used properly. He said the DC didn't know how to use him and he felt restricted.

AH said that he finally felt comfortable this year when Hasslett took him out the Okeye formation and they just let him get in the 4-3 type formation where he could understand the formation better.


I can go on and on about this shit. AH being put in his place is the right thing to do. I would love to see him here next and be placed on IR in the first week. Hell we have saved $3.5 mil this week, I say **** it put on IR for a hang nail next year and we can finally look like we are headed in some direction.

I agree Matty, look I don't like Snyder as a owner ...never have but give the man his due. He finaly hired the right team to run the team for him and he's doing exactly what he should ...sit back and let the GM and Head coach handle this mess.

Well I am young, and before I quit drinking I had done the same thing Haynesworth and other guys have, which is stay out late, get drunk, and go to work the next morning knowing I was making retarded decisions that could've cost me my job. The only difference between me and Haynesworth was that I got paid chump change compared to what he's making.

I honestly don't care what players do on their own time, as long as it isn't dealing drugs, going into a packed club and whippin' their gats out as a show of force, or w/e, basically anything that can get them in serious trouble. I'm not stupid, and I don't think that just because these guys are multi-millionaires it means that they behave like jehovah's witnesses. All I ask is that they show up to work on time, follow the coach's rules, and try to at least set a good example if you are a vet that the younger players might look up to.

@12thman: Like I just reiterated above, I'm not perceptive to the belief that all of the 53 guys on the roster are in bed by 9 pm to wake up bright and early to have a good practice like some of us. That much is obvious when there's pictures all over the web of guys like Portis/Moss/Taylor out drinking at prominent nightclubs in DC. I'm just saying, I don't agree with it, I think it's stupid, and the only way you can get away with it is if you are ready to go at practice the next morning. Haynesworth clearly wasn't, and it's just one in a long line of bad decisions made by him. I'm glad he's off the roster and will be out of our hair, because he's the only guy on the team that doesn't seem to get the big picture.

Sorry if this has already been posted. good int. w/V. Holliday, who's pretty fair yet candid about AH:

Redskins lose Albert Haynesworth's big, protective shadow - ESPN

[calia]

Vonnie Holliday is quite good in that setting. When he's done his career, I could see him doing that for a living.

He really wanted to avoid saying AH is a bad teammate, but that is basically his bottom line.

[CRedskinsRule]

Not specifically AH related, and yet the timing seems so appropriate:

sick-day-bounty-hunters: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance

Perhaps this is because workers have become increasingly inventive with their sick-day tomfoolery. This summer, Middletown (Pa.) schoolteacher Leslie Herneisey -- a three-time Teacher of the Year nominee -- was arrested and charged with lying to colleagues about having an inoperable brain tumor so she could take extended sick leave. In 2009 four firefighters in Haverhill, Mass., were suspended after a private investigator, hired by the mayor, caught them attending hockey games and engaging in other blatantly non-sick-day activities.

I agree

For what it's worth to you:

I charted Albert has "making" 12 plays in just seven appearances this year. His best stretch of the season came after his half brother passed, with three big plays against Chicago and four against Detroit. He did not play at that level after the bye week. Best game after the bye was: Tennessee.

Albert's big issue was that we couldn't get him on the field, not that he wouldn't perform when he was there. It's an issue that we didn't have with him in 2009, but this is something that had to be a consideration when he was signed.

It sure is better for Shanahan for everyone to be upset about AH then how bad our team is performing.
Kind of reminds me of the Ronald Reagan administration ploy, when the poll numbers would dip they would invade a small defenseless Caribbean island nation and claim a huge defeat over Communism.

That is more production than Golsten, Kemo and Carriker combined. Kidding.
Isn't AH second on the team with sacks?

[MTK]

Yes I'm sure this is all just to distract everyone.

AH has been an ongoing problem since MS got here in case anyone forgot.

I agree that we have the right man to clean up, but unfortunately, this Snyder/Cerrato created mess has set the team back 2-3 years. The offensive line is no better now than it was opening day 2009. Surely, some of that $36M thrown away on Haynesworth could have been used to build a very adequate O-line by now. And now with Haynesworth on his way out so early in his contract, how much dead cap money will the team be burdened with next year? I really wish that we would stockpile and build through the draft, augment with modest FA signings (think Fletcher), and stop chasing the biggest names.

I am kidding, I know AH was not punished to deflect from our horrid play.
But it is having that effect. It is an AH feeding frenzy and very little mention of our play as a team. The Giants game feels like weeks ago.
I'll be curious to see if the players rally around Shanahan and play well this weekend. I hope so.

[Longtimefan]

Just a little of what Albert had to say in response.

Haynesworth 'sick' of constant strife

[warpaint]

I think its a shame that every year there is always going with this organization we just cant get through 1 season with out having some type of hoopla.
