Just to play devil's advocate:

How would today's hyper fan have treated Riggo the year he sat out? He would have been villan #1 on our charts....By all accounts Joe Gibbs was very close to trading him that year.

What happens if Hanesworth attends training camp and anchors a flat out nasty D and we win more games than expected? If he reports to camp there is not a small chance (20%...30% maybe?) that he actually likes what is going on at The Park and both sides mend the fence.

Not saying it is going to happen, but you never know. I think we are fine to go on with out him, however if he does show up, play, and keep his mouth shut then I think I will really be impressed with Shanny for brining Haynesworth to heel, much the way Gibbs did with Riggo.

Now for my thoughts - I think the FO has done a great job getting the roster ready to move on with or without Haynes worth (mouch more likly without). Wow what a change.
