Apparently these conditioning tests are pretty brutal, and one defensive player said that few players would be able to pass the test that Albert has been taking, and another D-lineman said they had to take that same test in the offseason, but they weren't timed. Others in the organization have acknowledged that he's clearly in shape and has dropped 35 lbs.

It's clearly a power struggle/pissing contest. We get it Mike. You're the boss. There's no need for this at this point. I'm no fan of Albert, but let's cut the distractions and get our best defensive player on the field.

If this is the case then I could see the players union getting involved here. I don't have a problem with MS making an example of AH. But let's not take it too far. The reality is he only missed 2 mandatory practices. There are other ways to make him earn his keep.....putting him w/ the 2nd team, which they're already doing. Not starting him in the pre season games and so on.
