Redskins D-coordinator talks frustration over Haynesworth

[hail_2_da_skins]

What has Fat Albert been doing during the lockout? Has he participated in player workouts? Has he been working out independently? Is he out of shape and gaining weight?

Hey, hey, hey ...

LOL, no he's having to juggle all his indiscretions and court dates. lol. When would he fit OTA's in?

If the Skins, anticipating that Haynesworth will be suspended by the NFL once a labor agreement is reached, would rather punish him than than to give him what he wants by cutting him at this time, that's fine by me. It serves him right.

If they plan to trade him to Timbuktu for next to nothing in return, that is also fine by me.

It is not fine by me if their plans include allowing him to ever again set foot in the Redskins' locker room. First of all, he's practically worthless to them in their 3-4 Defense because he refuses to play it, so there is no reason to waste a roster spot on him. Secondly, since the Redskins are fast becoming a younger team, I think the coaches should try to avoid the possibility that contact with Haynesworth might pollute the minds of their young players.

Maybe they'll work out a deal w/his agent; we won't fine him if he doesn't report provided that you can find a suitable trading partner w/in x days.

Vonnie Holliday adds to the criticism of AH.

Teammate says lot of stuff you hear about Haynesworth is true - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

[SmootSmack]

Yeah he told us a lot of that one day when he came to visit last winter. He didn't seem like a fan at all

"At one point last year, the 29-year-old was juggling as many four court-related matters, including lawsuits from a bank, an exotic dancer, a man injured in an automobile accident and complaints from his ex-wife that he wasn't paying her health insurance or their children's bills." Quote

This is debaggery at its highest level!!!!!!!!!!!!! And disrespectfull in meetings, bring a lawsuit against this bag of turds for breech of being a class human being.

Let's put it this way.

Anyone who thinks the Skins are just going to release this guy and "cut their losses" is out to lunch.

Management has obviously taken great consideration it determining what they are going to do with with this POS. They have considered all options very carefully.

I guarantee you they will not just release him and let him win.

I will bet money on it.

I agree that keeping him would waste a roster spot...but...it would sure send a message about the changes being made by this organization. No more taking the money and laying down in Washington. It's not that easy anymore. The reputation of this team among players in the NFL is that it's a place to go to get paid and that's pretty f'ed up.

Exactly!

I think we will hold on to him through training camp looking for a trade and if we cant find one then i think we will release him.

Training camp? Oh, no! This team doesn't need another AH training camp fiasco. The next one would be even worse than the first one. This man will not be in good enough physical shape for training camp. Allowing him to be seen in training camp by other teams would probably reduce his trade value to zero, if it's not there already.

Beyond that, I think that it would be a mistake to ever again allow AH to attend any team activity.

I agree totally. The best thing for the Skins to do is suspend Albert from the team and take him before the Special Masters Office of the NFL to address the non-performance of a contract signed by Albert.

He is taking up a roster spot and if another team wants him they would have to wait until the above hearing would produce a verdict.

Using him as an example is getting tired and its time to move on.

I didn't know that such recourse was available to the Redskins. Why not use it, then? After all, he's useless to them and I'm pretty sure his contract doesn't state that he will only play on 3rd down in a 3-4 defense and then only if he is allowed to freelance.

There will always be players like Hayneswoth in the NFL. The biggest lesson to be learned here is by the team; they should never put themselves in this position by signing a player like him. And the culture within the team should be "you either get with the plan or GTFO".
