Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

[quote=SirClintonPortis;731029]He may be "technically" 100% like many players who tear an ACL or blow an Achilles, but they won't be back to full motion, etc, until later, if even that. Add that with football's heavy physical demands, and it's safe to say he's not going to be back to pre-rupture form for quite a while, and his play in the preseason reflected that.

They must have fixed his achilles by installing a roller skate because Ma'ake has been going backwards all pre-season.

Adam Schefter is reporting on sportscenter that Albert Haynesworth was practicing with the first team in the nickel the whole time. Cooley's comment about being on the practice squad, presumably pure smokescreen

If he's practicing only in the nickel then it backs up that they will use him only in passing situations.

AH could still be doing practice squad reps and then practicing with 1st team defense in nickel passing situations.


If the Skins want to beat the cowboys then we'll need to focus on our on-field strategy as opposed to an off-field antic like that. I highly doubt the gameday status of AH is going to be that huge of a factor in this game. If that is what the Skins are banking on then may God have mercy on our Redskin souls.

He very well could have been with the practice squad all week as well. It's tough to tell though with the media blackout during practices. They have to go on 'leaks' and nothing else. Regardless, it's an interesting turn of events.

Didnt like what I saw from Haynesworth at all last night. In his MMQB column, King predicts Haynesworth will be playing for the Titans by the trading deadline. After watching our defense play last night - we don't need Haynesworth. he looked lost all game and is more of a liability than anything else in this defense.

Yep, all the AH supporters kept saying: "just wait for week one when Romo is on his back, everything will be forgotten." He was a f*ckin joke last nite.

Well apparently he threw a tantrum fit on the sideline after being taken off the field. Then there was the shot of the entire deffense in a sideline huddle and Albert was about 10 yards away by himself, looking the other way. I mean what a true piece of sh*t. He doesnt care about this team.

It was a LB and DB meeting not the entire D.

Maybe so, but look at this picture, I see Daniels talking to one group, the LB/DB meeting, and AH off to the side

I swear I so want to believe that he is going to make a difference, but at this point if there is a 4-3 team that would take him for a solid (not star) receiver and a mid round (4-5) draft pick, he would be gone, and count the 21Mill as yet another lesson for DS.

Thanks for the clarity, walked in from letting the dog out and that was being shown on tv with some snide remarks being said. lol It obviously got me going...

Looks like some of the d-line are talking amongst each other, but it's not like AH was blowing off a meeting of the entire D as the broadcast wanted to make you believe.

Re: Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth
 

^ I'm happy to leave that whole "who's in the meeting" scenario aside.

But AH single-handedly opened some holes for the Cowboys by not playing his position. He seems unwilling to buy into the new scheme. And, despite his immense talent, this makes him a liability.

He was raving mad though...I was worried he was going to pull a Sprewell on Haslett or Shanahan.

Yeah....let him ride the bench until he gets it.

True enough. Still, I didn't see him talkng to coaches on the sidelines or to his player group. Maybe he did and it just wasn't shown. I don't know the scheme so maybe he was doing what he's supporsed to, but it seemed to me that he took himself out of a lot of plays by seeking penetration.

I admit 1) I had hard time watching for him and really only saw what was highlighted. God knows the media had an agenda last night (Cowboys = Orgasm; AH = Redskins F-up); and 2) Maybe AH was doing what he was supposed to be doing.

I will rely on the tape folks (Gtripp & SS33) for a breakdown of his play.
