I just think now its about making him look bad than anything else. I understand its HIS team, and I like shanny, but this seems to be more personal than anything related to his "football" ability.

Obviously, we have no idea what is said between them, but do you remember that shot of the sideline when Haynesworth was 20 feet away from the defense? It looked liked all starters and some backups were surrounding haslett trying to understand things when they had time and Haynesworth wasn't anywhere near it.

Let's be honest: Haynesworth has not done ONE RIGHT THING to earn to get back on the field. I just don't think Shanahan has seen anything that says "let's put him out there."

Conditioning was going to be huge this year. We've heard some whispers how camp has been easy under Zorn and Shanahan wanted people to be in shape. Haynesworth messed around with that big time. Then, when he's playing against scrubs, a perfect time to dominate and show he's ready, he sluffs for the 45 out of 50 plays or whatever it was. How can you trust them?

It's like when Lavar Arrington wanted to just freelance instead of playing a defense. Great talent, but is it worth having that risk on the field? I would much rather have 11 people playing the defense as planned.

I ask you, what has Haynesworth done to deserve to play? Clinton Portis showed up, shut up, got in great shape. McNabb did the same thing. Hell, probably 95% of the team did everything that was asked of them.

I dont think you have read/heard the latest. That little meeting was not D-Lineman. its was LB's and DB's. You can see other D-lineman sitting on the bench, not far from where AH was standing. portis even pointed that out in an interview yesterday. They are trying to single out everything AH does right now, which is expected. What has Haynesworth done to deserve to play? some people say nothing, some people say everything they have asked him to do. Work longer after practice, longer film study, extra work in the weight room. There were some whispers going around that said a lot of the players (bigger dudes) couldn't have done that test. The fact is, i think it was made up for him to fail. So they could hummiliate him a little bit each day. He doesn't trust them, they dont trust/like him. But, here is the deal. About 2 months before training camp started he was in contact with Haslet, learning the D, doing what he needed at home. They said he would play the DE spot, which he started to become excited about. Now he is playing NT, so I would probably be a little p'd too.

You mean the shot where Haslett was meeting with just the LBs and DBs and not the D-Lineman? (if you doubt this, listen to London Fletcher's interview in DC101)

I'm sorry, not trying to defend Haynesworth or anything, but some people need to stop biting the dangling carrot that the TMZ-line sports media puts on regarding this situation.

I'm not saying that everything is fine and dandy, or that Haynesworth is not to blame for this, etc., etc., etc., but keep in mind that whatever the situation is the media is going to make it seem to be 100 times worst.
