Haynesworth Sent Home From Practice (rips defensive scheme/coaches)

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I don't particularly care for the scheme, but Haynesworth needs to keep his criticisms in house. I don't like it when Portis mouths off to the press and I don't like it when Haynesworth does it either. What good does it do to talk to the press about the fact that you think that your coaches (i.e., your bosses) suck? I recognize that Haynesworth can be a dominant player, but this is precisely why I had serious reservations about the team pursuing him in free agency. Keep your trap shut Albert.

Albert has become image conscious. He has heard the rumblings about him not playing all the plays, not worth his contract and other things he considers not to be true.

His speaking out (though I don't neccessarily agree with his method) is his way of trying to make people understand, hey!! I'm everything you thought you were getting if I weren't being held back. With a different approach to how the defense is played we will inturn see a different payer. I find it disturbing for a coach to tell a player to get ot of my face, go sit down and shut up because he offers suggestions about how he as a player can help make the defense better.

He's convinced the public perception of him would be much different if he was alowed to do what they promised him in their pitch to get him to sign a contract here. Could be he views it as a broken promise. The guys' upset because he feels like he could be doing more to help the team. Maybe we need more Haynesworths' that show that type passion about winning and losing. The one thing he could have done differently was to keep his thoughts and comments in-house.
