Haynesworth fails conditioning test

[Dirtbag59]

Haynesworth is not getting traded. He's going through an unfortunate setback. The coaches are loving him right now, he loves the defense, and on top of that he's motivated. Did he make some mistakes this offseason, hell yes. However it's time to move past it and play football.

I'm guessing I missed the interview where AH said he loves this defense and can't wait to get involved in preseason games, and performing whatever roll he has to either as a NT or DE.

Maybe love was a little strong but we're getting there.

Jason Reid:
"Redskins sources III: Working well with Haslett and actually now likes new D, but test still hurdle. Moral of story: Don't mess with Shanny."

Update, more from JReid

Results of MRI exam (no structural damage) and last treadmill work (outstanding) means Mike Shanahan will hold firm: No pass, no practice.

Team officials perplexed because he continues to perform well on treadmill. "He was flying" on treadmill Thursday, said one source.

Although team knew he would require individual attention at start of camp, feeling internally is he could/should have passed test by now.

Redskins sources: Frustration with Haynesworth rising in organization because conditioning process occupying too many key people too long.

For the record I fly on treadmills but running outdoors it is a whole different game, I look like a fat kid at his first day of fat camp when running outside.

From the most recent post on RI:

And in a twist of irony, Haynesworth actually likes the new defense and Haslett's plans for him in the scheme. Haynesworth's concern about the unknown, in large part, prompted him to stay away from Ashburn for most of the offseason, resulting in the current situation.

Unreal. He likes the defense now. So if he hadn't stomped his feet and pouted like a child and just shown up for all the OTA's, he would have found out from the get-go that he'd like his new position on the line, he wouldn't have had to deal with this conditioning test mess, and there would be no drama.

This guy is the biggest mega-turd around. I can't ever remember dislking a Redskin player this much. And that's including Deion Sanders.

RI is considerably late to the game here, Haslett and Haynesworth spoke a few times during the off-season and, while initially frustrated, Haynesworth said he now got it and was excited. And pumped for mini-camp. And then he didn't show up

I agree that Jason Reid isn't exactly Johnny Newsflash. RI is pretty weak actually. I understand that AH was excited based on his conversations with Haslett way back in the spring. It's just even more frustrating to read how he really likes the defense after simply showing up and seeing his role in person.

It's just such a fail when you think about how easily all this crap could have been avoided.
