Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

It seems that Haslett is genuinely excited to have a player of AH's caliber on his defense. I hope that he brings out the same talent that Fisher and Schwartz got out of him in Tennessee. Now I hope JLC and the rest of the football media can focus on reporting football from our team and not hype up crap non-stories.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Let's see how it goes now.

[quote=Hog1;718310]So I'm watching the Jim Haslett vid from the Redskins site.
When asked "Is Albert eager to play End (paraphrasing) ? Haslett responded "He really has no say in that" (as in he don't call the shots around here.
I LOVE that NO nonsense, he's just another face attitude.
Very much needed for this team......nobody bigger than the whole[/quote]

True, but at the same time now that this ego contest is over I do hope that the team focuses on putting the right players in the right position. I am glad that this whole situation is over and MS and the coaching staff have asserted their authority.

If healthy, Kemo should be the NT, he has the physique for being a NT and has the experience. Teams like Green Bay, New England, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco spent resources in keeping their true Nose Tackles on their rosters (I forgot the NT in Green Bay, but the Pats kept Wilfork, Steelers locked up Casey Hampton, and the 49ers re-signed Aubrayo Franklin).

Haynesworth will be a good rushing NT on passing situation, and I think him at either Daniels or Carriker at ends will do a good job at stopping the run. I also see Kemo and AH taking up so many blockers, that it will allow the likes of Orakpo or Alexander to come through with ease during a rush.

Why are you so sure of the ego contest slant? Before you light me up, not saying you are wrong, just questioning if we should just take it at face value as being all ego. The media wants this slant to be accepted since they got 10 days worth of copy out of it. Trainers said the knee showed signs of swelling after the first botched attempt. Secondly, the guy did shed 35 lbs in the offseason, so the guy obviously wanted to be in better shape. Would he have worked his ass off just to **** around during preseason? Idle speculation on my part of course is AH messed up his knee shedding those 35 lbs off and missed the OTA's because of it, not wanting the FO of his knee problems. Thing is this happened during his rants about going to the 3-4 and the drama that went with it. I am not saying ego couldn't be the main factor in the drama, but him coming to camp 35 lbs lighter shows me he came to play. I don't think he would do all that work, just to screw up his preseason playing games by failing a physical fitness test on purpose.

WHY WHY WHY keep discussing little things? Crap, I put a post that talks about the defense and how Haynesworth, Kemo, and other guys could fit and all you can think about writing a paragraph is my personal opinion that this was an ego contest? No wonder the media hypes these non-stories.

Well you did say it was an ego trip in your first sentence. My point was it might have been less ego trip than a guy that might have been hiding an injury. And by the way the thread is about the "non story", so it seems like I can talk about it since it is what the thread is about. I did read your entire post Ruh, and I am with you on the hoping they put the right personnel in the right positions. I do hope they don't stick AH at NT though.

I doubt they'll stick him at NT, just on passing downs I think.

I am betting that this circus motivates Phat Albert aka Godzilla to destroy everything that gets in his way. This is what I learned from all of this:

I hate these geeky, non-athletic, pencil necked twerps that we know as the "media". All of these pathetic losers who couldn't bust out of a wet paper bag are gutless and spineless. If any of them were standing in front of Haynesworth they would bow down and assume the same position as that the dirty stripper who is trying to steal from him. All of them are pathetic. Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford haven't busted a grape in the NFL yet both of them have bigger contracts then Haynesworth but all we see is losers talking about a 300 yard shuttle run. This witch hunt is driven by jealousy, plan and simple.

I hope Godzilla takes a cheap shot on every QB he faces this year.

I get what you are saying. Like I have said on here a 100 times or so. My favorite guys to listen to are Pat Kerwin and Tim Ryan on NFL Sirius Radio on Moving the Chains. Those guys are great. My point was more geared to hearing actual Redskins Camp News and not AH all day long. Now at least they will be talking about how he can have a positive impact on our team.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;718260]ASHBURN, Va. --

* [B]When former Cowboys receiver Joey Galloway broke free on a deep ball, Haslett just about lost it. "How many [expletive] times do we have to do this?" he shoutd in the general direction of safety LaRon Landry. By the way, Landry has a very difficult time not destroying receivers across the middle -- even when players are in shorts. In Friday's morning session, Landry pulled up at the last possible moment when Chris Cooley caught a McNabb pass across the middle. It looks like one of Cooley's brothers (Taylor?) was conducting some interviews for the tight end's blog after practice. They were focusing on Santana Moss.[/B]
[/quote]

My word I'm so sick of the Landry nonsense. Has a hard time pulling up? [I]Please[/I]...I've watched him avoid contact against bigger ball-carriers time and time again i.e. Turner, Witten etc.

Personally I hope the very first time Landry pulls his typical crap: a cheap shot once the play is dead or out-of-bounds, titty-bumping the ball-carrier w/o wrapping up, or just avoiding contact altogether, that Haslett tears into him before benching him for the rest of a game. I'm sick of our effing 1st rd safety huffing and puffing and nothing more.

I wouldn't say a witch hunt Pocket. I have a few words for you and that is market share/selling copy or ratings. Preseason is usually downright non eventful til the preseason games get going, unless you get some big name injuries or FA signings. THe fact is since you now do have the internet, cable TV, satellite radio, etc you have a ton of sports writers/broadcasters with nothing to really write about, but they need to write a story to get paid, so they exaggerate on what would normally be a non story or something hum drum. The very thing( the new media) that has freed us from the bondage to the old press is what helps generate this overhyped lunacy, such as the AH drama. In short, the media has grown too big and now they need to actually create news to justify their existence. The glut of media is actually the problem. The hunt isn't to destroy or hurt AH, t he hunt is to create a story that justifies their careers. Ever read the sportswriters from FoxSports.com, or even NFL.com? The mods in here and the more devoted Skins fans in here that really know their stuff could write better drivel than these guys. Shoot even I could given some time and being able to watch sports 24/7.

Actually, Golic's charade was probably the worst of all. He didn't actually pass the test. For one, they used a camera angle which attempted to hide the fact that he was taking short cuts on the 25 yard distances. Second, he clearly did not finish in 73 seconds on the second try even though he was not running a full 25 yards every time. So for him and other "analysts" at ESPN to use Golic's "accomplishment" to badmouth AH is actually evidence of that all of them are gutless. If Golic was a real man he would have admitted that he came close to finishing the test and that someone like AH, who is in the prime of their career, should be able to finish it relatively easily. The "journalism" at ESPN is driven by one thing, profits.

I am not going to crucify and hold AH to a standard that dozens of players have not met for years. How many times have players decided to do their own thing in the offseason? The Miami guys have done it forever. I am not sure how AH disrespected the owner this offseason by coming into camp 30 - 40 pounds lighter. The owner empowered this man by structuring the contract the way he did, so he got what he paid for. I do have a problem with Albert not showing up to mini-camp if he said he was going to and I also have a problem with asking for a trade after cashing a 21 million dollar check but that is old news now. AH handled this poorly but the sensationalism of what occured was/is pathetic.

I have more of a felt-tip pen neck. But whatever, Pocket$ is entitled to his opinion. He's not the first person to blindly hate on the "media". Turn off your tv, your radio, your cell phone, shut down your laptop, put down your newspaper, your magazines. Then tell me how much you love sports then.

There are plenty of "media twerps" who would not bow down to Haynesworth. If you think Mark Schlereth, who like it or not is media now, would bow down to Haynesworth, you're kidding yourself.

Witchhunt driven by jealousy? Hardly. Yes Haynesworth isn't the first person to work out on his own in the off-season. But you know what, they all showed up on day one ready to go. Yes Haynesworth lost 40+ pounds in the off-season but he first gained about 20. Haynesworth has known about the conditioning test all off-season and he still couldn't pass it. That's on him.

Special camera angles for Golic? Please. I was standing right there. Admittedly, I will say I thought he might have been a second late on the second run but it was close. And the run was legit.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Sure the media ran wild with this story a bit, but that's what they do. AH held the key to this story the entire time though.

This would have been a non-story if he had just

1) shown up for more than 50% of the offseason work, or

1a) if he would have just passed the conditioning test on the first try

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Just heard Haynesworth thanking the fans for supporting him and, essentially, putting up with him. Pretty interesting.

I think if he gets on the field and doesn't come across as bitter and petulant, that will go a long ways to rehab his image.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

So many haters for so many things.

Let's just get on with the season.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

AH will be the fan favorite to hate. Regardless of how many 4th and 1's he stuffs, or how many sacks his teammates put up. Each time he goes down on his knees some hater will post in the game day thread how we shoulda cut him.

Exactly. These folks who are so happy about his 35-40 lb weight loss need to take into account that he slapped on a fresh 20 as soon as the season was over. So what, we're gonna give him extra credit because he gave off the impression that he cared about his weight in the few months leading up to training camp? Oh yes Mr. Haynesworth, thank you so much for NOT showing up to camp pushing 370. Please.

I'm not gonna tip my hat to the man for that. I guess the bar was set pretty low after he showed up for camp last year doing his best impression of the blob.

Haynesworth apologists annoy me.

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

All I can say is that AH brought all this on himself by not showing up for conditioning and mini camps. If he did none of this would have ever been an issue. End of story. I just hope this make him determined to prove everyone wrong and he has a great year.

I think he's a big baby. But i know what we got when we signed him. I didn't turn on him through this process, and i wont turn on him when he takes every 1/4 play off.

Now it seems a lot less likely. Unless someone gave us a 1st rounder, i mean. Plus, DT/NT is a position that can be plugged for a year.

You are right Scud. ESPN has a long history of giving the Redskins a fair shake since Snyder has owned them. Couple that with the equal coverage of Revis possibly skipping the entire year (on a team that should be much more relevant to the nation than Washington) is further proof that I am wrong.

I never said the media shouldn't write anything about him but these jerk-offs who consistently use him as a punchline and say things about him that they would never say to his face are the ones who are gutless.

Btw, when a starting QB goes out there is a much better chance of victory. The Ravens won a championship putting out starting QBs on almost a weekly basis.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is scared little Danny. Maybe the reason why Danny is everyone's punchline is because he makes for a good target?

Re: Haynesworth PASSES Conditioning Test
 

Daniel Synder had made himself an easy target simply by trying to control the Redskins, the roster, and acting as a fan would if he was able to buy a the team. He has made alot of mistakes as an owner, which in turn makes him an easy target fo anyone in the media covering the Redskins.
