Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

[quote]UPDATE: That big weight loss that Albert Haynesworth has undergone this offseason, as described below? Yeah, apparently it might not be with the best intentions.

Don Banks of Sports Illustrated pondered 20 burning questions recently, and in considering Haynesworth's bitter situation in D.C., noted that "now we learn that H[B]aynesworth is reportedly losing weight in an effort to make himself less valuable as a nose tackle[/B] in Shanahan's 3-4 formation and force a trade."

Wow. And here we thought he was just trying out to be in the next Nutrisystem commercial.[/quote]

Lol, I wouldn't put it past him. However I'm confused does the 30 pound weight loss make Haynesworth 320 or 335? I remember Smootsmack saying something about how he gained 15 pounds when the offseason started.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Don't know if any of this is true, but I would have to think if he thinks losing weight is going to "force a trade". He is dumber than I thought.

He will do exactly what he is told if he shows up this month or they will get exactly what they want, into fat boys purse!

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

The thing that makes me say hmmmmm! is his trainner said he is going to turn heads now if he dosen't that guy will never find another client.

HTTR.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

All this conjecture from a bunch of people who dont even know this guy. Including all of us! Is it July 29th yet? :)

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I am just sick of all this news concerning him when we have so much to be thankful for as Skins fans this year. SICK OF IT FAT AL!

HAIL!

[U][U]If Kemo comes in healthy, we could use him at NT and AH at DE I suppose. Of course, if AH can play effectively at NT at a lower weight because he's in better shape...fine. Definitely a wait and see with this one.[/U]

I would agree with this; If Kemo is 100% put AH at DE and Kemo at NT. If Kemo isn't 100% either
A) start AH at NT until Kemo is healthy
B) start gholston at NT until Kemo is healthy
C) start AH at NT for the whole season and rotate kemo

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Shaun Phillips from the Chargers was just on NFL live and was asked to pick his own "Big 3". He said on defense he would take Chris Jenkins, Albert Haynesworth, and Julius Peppers. Then the other guys started to razz him about his situation in DC and how he doesn't want to play the nose. They asked him what he thought about the situation and he said for that money he would play any position. Then went into a little more depth about it. Interesting stuff. I'll post the video as soon as it is available on espn.com

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Well I was wrong about him showing up to camp but I'm hoping that he's on the roster this year. The guy CAN play. I don't care how many times he lays on the ground after taking on double teams and still finding a way to stop Brandon Jacobs on 4th and goal from the 1. The dude is a monster point blank.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Question, the more I read of this thread . So if AH shows up ...."all will be forgiven"...,yes - no also what about the other players and coachs ?

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I think he needs to do more than just show up. He needs to show up in shape, ready to work, and keep his mouth shut. Even then he's got a lot to prove. Can he play at a high level all year and keep the BS to a minimum?

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I think the answer to that question Matty, will go a long way in deteremining how successful we are on defense, and I am not talking about just his on field play but if he can keep the locker room from splitting or anything that takes the focus off of football and on himself.

Saw it aswell, the only thing you left out is that he said he would still have Albert on his big 3 team, but put him at DE, cause thats where he needs to play to be really successful shaun said. And I agree with him on that for sure.

Yeah but he also said that on passing plays he would be technically be playing the 4-3 anyway and rushing the quarterback. I think that if he comes to camp in as good a shape as his trainer has said and he is playing well people will forget a lot of this controversy. The one thing about football is that people have a very short memory if problems go away because of success.

I think people will forget it for now, but it'll come back up next offseason. Shanahan has a history of running players out of town who don't agree with him and I doubt Haynesworth becomes an exception. Especially after his take the money and run act.

I agree completely. However, I would love nothing less for him to dominate this year and patch things up, so if nothing else, his stock rises enough for another team to trade a lot for him if Shanny does get rid of him.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Haynesworth is a schlub. The guy cares nothing for the team or winning, only about fat-ass Albert and the Benjamins. Honestly I dont care if he did well with the Titans, if he's not going to make some serious impact, I'd rather not have him at all. He's a disruptive lowlife, and honestly just makes the organization look bad.

Keep a close eye on fans reaction, remember they change on a dime. I wouldn't miss opening day of training camp for nothing in the world. It's a must see, the circus that's going to be Redskin Park.

I don't think AH should read this one. It makes mention of some good things about it but alot of pain involved in the position as well. We shall see how it all plays out in about 4 days when the players take the field.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I still question how much AH will even be playing the nose. As long as Kemo is ready to go he should be there the majority of the time. Seems like all those NT talk is seriously overblown.

The article reveals just how un-glamorous the position really is and how others have shown disdain for the position as well. Some players can adapt better than others. I agree, it's not likely Haynesworth will see a lot of action at the position anyway.

With Kemo on the nose and AH at end, we might have a badass 3-4 defensive line. Keeping one of the two on the bench seems a waste.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

Any news of Green or Bryant? I read an article the other day about them but it really wasn't a progress report or anything. Guess most of that will show up during camp.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I would assume that truth. Agree with the above statements having Kemo at nose with a rotation with Gholston and AH at the end really seems to have the best benefit to team.

BUT you have to remember the basis of a nose to gobble up ol guys, AH does that vey well. Or at least he has in the past.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

accounting for kemo and haynesworth would be nice.. hope for update on kemo soon.. last word was he still had a deliberate limp

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

I think it may be safe to say at this point that AH is going to be on the team in 2010 correct? We have not heard of any trade rumors or anything else from the AH camp to the contrary.

Here's your update:

Posted at 2:08 PM ET, 07/27/2010 [B]Redskins thrilled with Maake Kemoeatu's progress[/B]

The Redskins are so encouraged about Maake Kemoeatu's rehab that they recently sent Ray Wright, the team's new strength and conditioning coach, to Hawaii to continue helping Kemoeatu prepare for the season, according to people familiar with the situation.
Kemoeatu, who sat out the 2009 season because of an achilles injury, impressed team officials with his tireless work ethic while he rehabbed at Redskins Park for most of the offseason, the team sources said. He was at the complex several times a week working with the training staff, but needed to take some time off as training camp, which begins Thursday afternoon in Ashburn, approached.
Because of the favorable reports on Kemoeatu, many in the organization believe that barring injury, the former Carolina Panther standout will start at the nose tackle position in the season opener Sept. 12 against the Dallas Cowboys at FedEx Field. Kemoeatu's recovery could be good news for disgruntled all-pro defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, who does not want to play the nose position.
If Kemoeatu is at full strength to open the season, Haynesworth probably would start at end and shift to the nose on third down and other obvious passing situations. With Haynesworth said to be in shape and motivated and Kemoeatu physically sound, the Redskins' line could be formidable.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

^^ That is very good news for our front 7! A healthy Kemo will pay dividends if he can return to form.

Huh. Doesn't necessarily sound as tho Kemo is ahead of schedule on the rehab. But on the other hand I can't imagine this coaching staff would risk the defense by not securing the d-line w/ a NT, so probably Shanny & Co are satisfied w/ the big guy's progress.

Yeah that sounds about like the same report from a couple of years ago though adding in that he needed some time off and they're sending Wright out there. Around that time it was mentioned by someone about his walking, really just an aside I believe more than anything.

certainly hope this works out.

Re: NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation
 

So Haynesworth came into town to meet with Shananhan, hat in hand? I guess what I mean is is AH here a day early to patch things up? If so, I am even more excited about this season. As many have said before, if he shows up in shape and delivers come the regular season, all is forgiven.
