As MS said most of the rumors in the Media are completely untrue. So maybe we can just move on as a football team and not let it be a distraction. Best way in my mind for that WIN!

Yeah, it's mainly a media-created circus. There are internal disagreements but Shanahan is handling it. I didn't think AH played badly against the Cards. I saw him put Faneca on his back and had good push most plays...even made some tackles which don't come often for any interior lineman on D. He played almost EVERY defensive play...and survived. He won't play that many snaps in any regular season game.

He's ready to play and contribute as far as I see. When he's NOT in, you notice.

To the media, Albert Haynesworth is the new Hurricane Katrina. Everything must be overblown and over-repeated...and on days where there is not a juicy story...create one.

well that's probably not going to happen. but all this crap will go away if al justs plays the defense, plays hard and makes some plays...which he should be able to do against a weak Dallas line.

Or maybe they'll play him when he's not tired. And maybe he'll give an effort because it's a regular season game, and not the second half of the 4th preseason game with a bunch of guys who aren't about to be cut playing beside him. And maybe after week 1 headlines will read: Haynesworth plays, makes impact. And then maybe this whole shit will finally die.

It's not going away, because at this point there can be no "winner". AH is to prideful to let the media think that MS "broke" him, and MS certainly is never going to come out and make nice. I really thought that the whole cigar joke gave a good point to re-start the situation (and I think it did) but there are media types, and apparently sources, who want to fan this all season long.

Last year AH played a large percentage of D snaps (i think the most but don't know the specific stat) and yet he gets hammered for not playing every snap. So what if he is not the starter, our nickel back isn't a starter but he sure is critical to winning these games.

I only hope that AH, MS, and Haslett are being pros about this and Sunday night they all perform to the best of their abilities. I tend to think they will.

Haynesworth doesn't know how to play in a 3-4? I know its more complicated than this, but can we just put him in at NT and tell him to push the Center back into Romo's face on every play? That would work for me. Oh, and throw your big arm out and closeline Felix Jones everytime he comes between the center and the guard.

If this is true I hope they can come to some kind of deal. But Tenn. is not stupid. They know we really don't have any leverage.

The Redskins are going to come out losing in any trade at this point, so ur right. Also, the fact that our other d-lineman are not the best and we have a NT coming off a major injury last year, I don't think this is smart at this point.

So let's say AH is gone, any good NTs in free agency right now?

According to NFL.com:

Player/Previous team/Years in NFL

Ian Scott/SD/7th
Aubrayo Franklin/SF/7th
Dusty Dvorachek/CHI/4th
Kendrick Clancy/NO/10th

That's it for unsigned FA Nose Tackles.

I think Franklin is still with San Francisco. I remember hearing about the 49ers wanting to keep him because he can play NT.

Edit: Yup, he signed his tender not long ago...

Per CRedskinsRules sig (my own post), I reserve the right to retract any statements I have made concerning AH.

LOL... I was wrong this will never die.

For all you out there that think Fat Al will suit up on Sunday are out of your ever living mind. But I'll gladly come back here and eat some crow if he's even a Redskin by Thursday.

Seems like the kind of guarantee that would normally be based on some insider info, but in this case, would appear not to be.

[Monkeydad]

So the list is even smaller.

Even with his behavioral issues, AH makes any defense better.
