Shortly after Shanahan was hired, the Redskins training staff was let go. Maybe Albert was disappointed with his 2009 season and hired this trainer so he could get started with someone he's worked with successfully before while the Redskins figured out their strength and conditioning coaches. Maybe he has every intention of making 2010 his best year. And maybe we're all misjudging him to be out of shape because every time the ball is snapped he's fighting two huge D-lineman at one time.

Or maybe he just doesn't really care all that much, and he's making his "plans" known while giving a tad of face time at Redskin's Park, all the while knowing that for the next three seasons, as long as he doesn't suck, he'll be playing for our team and collecting a king's ransom while doing so (he's paid for those years guaranteed). Maybe he's just smirking at the idea of needing to work his tail off in the offseason since he's already crazily paid. He seemed really out of shape at times last year, constantly flopping to the ground in seemingly agonizing pain and sucking major wind, only to return a series later looking just fine.

Whether it's one scenario or the other, or a combination of the two, he'll probably never unanimously live up to the expectations of a contract his size. Especially given our nuts fan base and his prior reputation.
