Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth

[Darrell_Green_28]

then pull his ass out if he doesnt give effort , thats more ammo as to what kind of player he is. this is all getting to be bull, or maybe could be a genius move, a MS Smokescreen . that would be great

[mbedner3420]

that would be the most elaborate smoke screen ever. After the Jets preseason game, sit him down, tell him that you want to verbally trash him in the media, tell him you want to play him in 89 percent of defensive snaps in the fourth preseason game, ask him to look like he has a broken spirit as he plays, and tell him to perform with improper 34 technique, and finally float to the media the teams interest in a trade only to use it as the most impressive smoke screen I have ever seen in professional sports or otherwise to confuse wade "big dummy" phillips (who, by the way, continuously has his slack jawed, confused face on full time).

Saying this is all a smoke screen would be more impressive to me than the ending of "the usual suspects" - though it would be great if it were true.

Shanny is pouring it on too thick for it to be a smokescreen. And if it is I am sure Dallas isn't buying it since it is so blatant. They probably are expecting AH to start now. It would be funny if it was a smokescreen though.

[Darrell_Green_28]

Can you picture AH and MS in the Coach's office right now Smoking a fat Cigar, saying, "This was a genius idea now they all think we are pulling the team apart and causing drama, and really we are all good and couldn't be better."

On Madden 11 I trade his fat butt before I even start the preseason, usually for one of the bears defensive tackles

[GusFrerotte]

Pocket is very straight on this one. This is either the most elaborate smokescreens in NFL history(one that has been in the making for 8 months) or just a major league Ego war. My money is on the ego war. Like I stated above, I am not sure we got what we thought we were going to get. Bobby Beathred and Charlie Casserly would have had Hayneswoth gone by the draft.

Ok.

A couple of questions here, I am not going to fan flames.

Is this information coming from the Redskins? This was first reported by ESPN correct?

If this story was Redskins generated or came from our organization, would you not have heard this on the local radio shows this morning? Or read it on Redskins Insider? Before it hit ESPN.

This story is being generated from the outside, IE the Titans org. When has Chris Mortensen broke Redskins related news?

Are we actively shopping AH? I do not believe so.

Did the Titans give us a call over the weekend and give the Redskins a trade offer on trying to acquire AH?

Yes.

Did the Redskins organization decline said trade offer?

Obviously because he is still a Skin.

Is there a chance that this information is coming from the Titans in order to try and draw this whole deal out even more and force some sort of trade to occur? This is possible as well.

There is a whole ton of speculation out there right now. We as fans do not have the facts, niether does the media really know the truth.

BUT the SPIN of the story always goes back to Mike Shanahan and the whole offseason mess. If you read everything out there AH will be traded, deactivated, will not start, may play, Haslett has some plans for him Sunday, may start, and he may be activated but may not play much.

Pretty much what I am saying is NO one but the coaches and the FO really know what the truth actually is.

Just trying to get a little perspective as to all the information that has come out since.... Saturday. 4 days ago, since then you could have read any of the bold print up top about AH, and if you are like me all of it. My god none of us know anything about this whole mess. Including ESPN, Washington Post, and 99.999% of the posters on this board.

If we're going to talk about smokescreens, this one by far seems to be the most plausible.

NFL.com news: Report: Redskins negotiating with Titans to deal Haynesworth This is from NFL.com via the AP. It was updated at 8:50pm. Might be the real deal.

God I hope so. If they do this, I say we call up guinness to see if the redskins can be put in the record books for removing the world's largest tumor...we can beat that woman who recently had that 300 pound tumor removed in Argentina.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Well this is definately coming from the Titans... this report as filed out of Nashville.

BUT to be honest other than stating we are in discussions about the deal it is all rehashed information, from the day. ESPN updated thier article at 807pm reads very simaliarly.

I remember a few years back when there was all this commotion in new York about coughlin sayin if you're on time you're late for my meetings and tiki and strahan were complaining. And Redskins fans were all excited that the Giants were a mess heading into our game with them...and then they crushed us.

I have a feeling this will result in a similar ending, though slightly more in our favor. I think Dallas has too many question marks on their offensive line...I don't see them being very good. Yeah, I understand they'll have a ton of starters coming back, but their OL will crumble under their old age and injury - just like us last year.

I have a feeling we'll beat them, probably won't be a blow out, but regardless of standings or how good our team is, Dallas games are always close.
