[quote=30gut;729930]Its just a case of Jason Reid picking up where JLC left off setting new bench marks for journalistic integrity.[/quote]

For some reason I give Reid more credit than JLC. JLC made his name on doing his best to humiliate the Redskins. I don't get the sense that Reid is ready to stoop that low yet.

I may be wrong but I am 100% convinced that someone in the organization is feeding Reid prepared information.

This whole thing was not a smokescreen at all. Zero chance. If it was, they would have backed Al the second the rumors came out, not 2 or 3 days later. Anyway, I am glad Al has at least one game to show his value.

No matter what people say, he was dominant at several points in the pre-season. Even in the Cardinals game he embarrassed Faneca who is a Hall of Famer.

I am just glad that I can think about Dallas for a few days. Let the soap opera continue on Monday (unless we win of course).

Btw. The 3-4 is a huge risk this year and especially against Dallas this week. I said months ago that we do not have the linebackers to run it effectively and I still believe that. Carter has no effective role in this defense, he cannot cover a tight end, runningback or fullback and that isn't changing. This would be a great game to unleash Carter on their right tackle. Blades or Lorenzo can't cover either and it isn't Rocky or Fletcher's strength. We have no one except a corner or possibly Landry who can slow down Witten and that is going to be painful on Sunday night. We need to play enough 4-3 to slow down the running game and hope that we get some turnovers. If we don't win the turnover battle, I don't see how we can win if we play predominantly 3-4.

We need a big game out of the D because Dallas' D is going to be tough. T. Williams is going to need help all night against Ware and I am hoping Rabach plays out of his mind.

[quote=mbedner3420;729935][B]after the "he will be a Redskin on Sunday" remark, does anyone else feel like Haynesworth will be gone by next week and Vincent Jackson will be coming in to town?[/B]

its just seems a bit strange given that an unnamed team made a bid for Jackson a week or two ago and the chargers where unhappy with the compensation and now Shanny and Allen are furiously trying to deal Haynesworth for a second round pick.

Can't say I'd be terribly upset with that if thats the outcome.[/quote]

Don't have one clue about VJ coming to DC, if I had to guess I would say no.

I do say Fat Al is finally about ready to exit stage left! He has only days (Monday) to a week or so max and bon voyage Fat ass! I think a deal is in the works now to remove that waste from this DC area.

Very unlikely, MS needs for AH to be somewhat successful in order for them to get the price they want from him. The whole "MS is tired of blah blah blah" seems to be overblown, MS and BA are just doing business as usual.

Oh, he's definately gone by Monday (and I couldn't be happier. I'm tired of having to read about Haynesworth everyday).

The Jackson thing though just seems like it would fit. PFT has him going to either the vikings or here...but then again, any article referencing either a trade or signing of a WR has the redskins peppered in there somewhere so you can never really take too much stock in that. Regardless, it all seems to make sense given the Snyder can afford what VJ is asking for and Shanny's strong need for solid WRs.

True. They may be business as usual; however, at some point, it will be too determental to the team to let this continue - regardless of whether reports are overblown.

He's going to be gone sooner rather than later.

He is "definitely" gone by Monday? What are the next powerball #s while you are at it?

consult your own magic eight ball. I'd tell you, but after that haynesworth prediction, mine's been stuck in between two sides...it only shows that white edge in all that blue liquid.

PFT had TJ Housh going to Minnesota or us and both said they didn't even look into it.

I think that if we were making a move for VJ it would've happened. If we wanted to rid ourselves of Haynesworth we'd have already done it (unless whatever we had going on with Tenn, others is left on the table after the game to be accepted barring injury). I mean I guess there's time to wait on VJ due to his suspension but figured we would've put him in the offseason program earlier on, unless SD is much more willing to cut their losses now.

Maybe you're right. But when we hear something (at least for Jason Reid) about Shanahan wanting to trade for a player, it gets done... a la the Jammal Brown trade. It took a while for them to get around to it, but it eventually happened.

VJ has been brought up too many times as an interest for Shanny, I think he will eventually get him.

Shanny has been trying to avoid having to trade Fat Al (giving in to what he has wanted since manditory minicamp), but I think at this point, everyone justs wants to part ways. But I think that only plays into this unnamed VJ suitor who was turned down by the chargers. If they get that pick, No one should be surprised in the least if its used as leverage for VJ.

I could be wrong, but every now and again, its funny being a conspiracy theorist.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

Where are you getting all of this Jason Reid has reported us wanting to trade for a player and then it got done?

an N.O. newspaper and either Schefter or Glazer reported on it.. Reid just reported on their reports

even HAD he been the one to break it.. how is 1 even close to a track record?

That's true, but I generally trust Reid's reporting. If he is rereporting something, I would imagine it is still throughly vetted...or at least I would hope.

While, one player may not be a track record, I am still sticking with my conspiracy theory...though its probably wrong:)

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

If he's re-reporting it's already happened. I do that on my Twitter all of the time.

And I guess you are Bruce Allen?:welcome:

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

Now how the hell does anyone know he is gone by Monday and VJ arrives later that afternoon? Is this how it will go down? You got the inside info bud? BTW welcome to the board.
