Secondly, the guy did shed 35 lbs in the offseason, so the guy obviously wanted to be in better shape. Would he have worked his ass off just to **** around during preseason? Idle speculation on my part of course is AH messed up his knee shedding those 35 lbs off and missed the OTA's because of it, not wanting the FO of his knee problems. Thing is this happened during his rants about going to the 3-4 and the drama that went with it. I am not saying ego couldn't be the main factor in the drama, but him coming to camp 35 lbs lighter shows me he came to play. I don't think he would do all that work, just to screw up his preseason playing games by failing a physical fitness test on purpose.

WHY WHY WHY keep discussing little things? Crap, I put a post that talks about the defense and how Haynesworth, Kemo, and other guys could fit and all you can think about writing a paragraph is my personal opinion that this was an ego contest? No wonder the media hypes these non-stories.
