Redskins DT Haynesworth unlikely to play vs. Cowboys

[skins89moss]

I dont want this ankle injury to linger so if he cant help us he should rest this week and get ready for the Eagles next week. We need at least a split with the Eagles. I think he will give it a shot and if he is not 100-90% his presents still helps us.

Just him being there will take attention away from others even if he is not 100 percent,so he can be a pawn and divert attention.

Why do we need a split with the Eagles? Who cares? The season is essentially meaningless at this point, so the only meaning left is to beat the Cowboys, which the team will have a better chance at with Big Al on the line, even if he is hobbling.

If he is not healthy to play than we should not let him play to risk further damage to his ankle. Like you said the season is essentially meaningless why should he play if not healthy to help us? I rather for him to play and help us than play and hurt us.

Thats how im feeling. Dont risk greater damage to a lost season at this point. His lost impact on the D-Line is huge, but at this point screw it. But I have a feeling we are going to see him today probably rotating a little more out than it. He is a gamer.

Okay, it's hard to argue with that. No one wants Haynesworth to risk more injury. My point was that I'd rather he play against the Cowboys than the Eagles, if it came down to one or the other. If playing today would mean a minor extension of his rehabilitation schedule, I'd have no problem with that. If it meant risking further injury, than of course I'd want him to sit.

Apparently you have failed to look at the schedule/standings, the Skins are still in the hunt, especially if we can bet Dallas.

I envy your optimism. Granted, it's not only absent of reason, but of sanity as well, but I envy it nonetheless.
