Haynesworth was "awful" (WP) - may not start against Dallas

[Zerohero]

Correct me if i am wrong but i see 3 unnamed sources, then a hypothetical situation of not playing him against Dallas. Any actual Redskin FO that said this?

Great insight

If he shows up and plays Shanahan wins. Besides $$$ there is no loss on the part of Shanahan and management as far as what they have been doing thus far. I'm fine with making Haynesworth's life as miserable as possible until he decides to either give the money back in order to be let out of his contract or straightens out and becomes a team player.

Should be interesting to see how all this plays out. If he half asses it all the way, he's going to get suspended, lose payday money and the Skins can go after the signing bonus. F*ck Albert Haynesworth, he can eat sh*t and die for all I care. Don't cut that fat f*ck!

I believe some of it may be taken out of context. With a little gamesmanship thrown in.

By not "starting" AH, you keep him well rested for the second half when Dallas scores most of its points against a "tired" defense.

I'm guessing Shanny is gonna keep AH rested and let him be fresh to wreak havoc against the Dallas front 4.

They did not say he would not play, just that he would not start. And that is jsut as imposing too.

Dallas has no prayer in hell of winning Sunday with or without Haynesworth.

Does anyone else suspect a motivational reason for all this negative publicity for AH? I mean the man is being ridiculed in public on a daily basis.

Gotta wonder which way this will go. I think he'll come into the 'Pokes game chewing nails looking to stomp on someone's head. On the other hand, all this noise might just shut him down completely...

We'll see Sunday -- can't wait!

Gawd, not again!

All the reports are "Haynesworth is unlikely to start against the cowboys" NOT Haynesworth is not going to play vs cowboys, theres a big difference there. So its no surprise that he may not start, because Shanahan said he has to earn it...Just another slow news day at ESPN...

I guess after he steamrolled Faneca, he felt he had nothing to prove. He probably felt bad that he embarrassed the guy.

I personally think Shanny has got to let up. This has gone on the entire preseason, and he's proven a point. Haynesworth is supposedly still one of our best defensive players. We KNOW he'd play hard if he's given the starting role.

Just like someone has said, this is strangely very similar to the treatment of Lavar Arrington. A puzzling year where a good player was benched because of clashes with coaches / lack of commitment to the schemes.

I figured once they were joking with each other, they'd let bygones be bygones.

Old FAT AL is just a POS. I had one of my boys that lives in the DC/MD area at the house this am. One of his best friends lives in the same community with FAT AL for whatever its worth he was stating that FAT AL is on the boat drinking with his boys creating havoc all hours of the night and he was a 100% POS in the community where they live.

For some reason it came as no surprise. At this point I really can't wait till this cancer is run outta this town.

Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was not taking any snaps with the starters. As the team went through its nickel packages, it appeared that Haynesworth had been bumped from first to second string.

Haynesworth expected to play, but probably won't play much | ProFootballTalk.com
