Blaming Vinnie Cerrato is weak.

The evidence is clear, AH took the money and, at least so far, has weaseled out of performing on the contract he signed.

In my opinion, your waiter/dishwasher/Cerrato/Blache scenario is nonsense. And yes, you are entitled to your opinion and you can stick to it.

There are no excuses or explanations for AH's behavior that hold water. Stop the nonsense and support the coach. We've seen the alternative and are sick of it.

Can't have it both ways guys.

You know people are entitled to their opinion, right? I'm glad people are not forgetting that the team brought this upon themselves (well the previous front office).

In the end, what's best for the team is for this mofo to pass the damn test and get on the field. Bitching about AH for the umpteenth time or making this into AH vs. Shanahan is not going to win any games for the team.

I have faith that Shanahan will break the streak of this team not being able to make talented players produce in a Redskins uniform (although that faith is running thin).

Wasn't it the waiter who bitched about the owner and the chef and asked for them to be fired ,he doesn't want to be a waiter he wants an "all you can eat buffet."....tips and all with out the work.

Albert Haynesworth keeps 'doing the same thing'

During Friday's morning practice at Redskins Park, Albert Haynesworth again wore a helmet and again was without pads. He participated in a turnover drill with his teammates, but otherwise, it was status quo.

After practice, Coach Mike Shanahan reiterated that nothing has changed.

"He's been doing the same thing. He's been getting a few reps and individual work -- the same thing he's been doing," Shanahan said.

Following a negative MRI result on Haynesworth's knee, Shanahan also said nothing's changed for the defensive tackle on the injury front.

"Same thing I said yesterday." Shanahan said. "He's getting treatment and hopefully he just keeps improving."

Rookie left tackle Trent Williams appeared to tweak a hip during practice and at one point was lying down on the sideline working with a trainer.

"He felt a little tight but it should not keep him from working," Shanahan said.

Shanahan said he's hopeful that wide receiver Malcolm Kelly and right tackle Jammal Brown will be back at full strength for practice on Monday.

"Keeping my fingers crossed that with good treatment and good rehab that they'll go on Monday," he said. "I'm not positive, though."

Shanahan also said that wide receiver Mike Furrey, who hasn't practiced since Tuesday morning, is still suffering from the effects of a concussion. The team is being careful with Furrey, who has sustained a concussion in the past. Nose tackle Howard Green also didn't practice.

Cornerback Carlos Rogers was held out of the morning session for rest. Over the course of the week, a few players were given some time off.

I think his knee probably is hurting him. However, I think he's one of those athletes who struggles with the difference between playin hurt and being injured

He's had swelling in the knee and he's been advised to rest it by the team doctors, so he's not BS'ing it. The MRI simply showed there's no structural damage, but that doesn't mean there can't be other issues such as fluid in the knee. The issue comes down to can he push through it.

Not so sure what has you so convinced? But, for the most part when your hurt your hurt not "he was flying" on a treadmill. If you can flat out get it on a treadmill you can get through a few sprints, well at least most that cared about there job/team would. He doesn't fall in that category.

I'm not buying Fat al's BS!

An MRI exam Thursday of Haynesworth's sore knee revealed no structural damage, and the feeling among many at Redskins Park is that the two-time all-pro should have already passed the test. Although perplexed team officials acknowledge Haynesworth probably is experiencing knee irritation, sources say, they do not believe his pain rises to a level that would prevent him from passing the test of two, timed 300-yard shuttle runs.


Moreover, Haynesworth has not even attempted the test since Monday, and his last strong effort occurred July 30. The nine-year veteran's decision to delay retesting is unsettling to the Redskins, especially in light of the encouraging MRI exam and Thursday's performance on a treadmill in which "he was flying," one source said.

He may be BS'ing how much pain he can or is willing to handle, but he's not BS'ing swelling in the knee.

Well, if he's hauling ass on a treadmill, hitting the sled, and doing individual drills, IMO there's no excuse for the fact that he hasn't even attempted the test in a week.

Totally agree.

[SolidSnake84]

He hasn't attempted the test because he knows he can't pass it. Not now, or in a million years. He doesnt have it in him.

He did pass it in Tennessee. And he ran it fast enough on day one dang potty break.

At this point I think it is just a simple willpower match, and I don't see either guy backing down. If he isn't traded, he could very well be inactive against dallas if he hasn't conceded by then.

[MTK]

I fully believe he's physically capable of doing it. Question is how much heart does the guy have?

[Mechanix544]

I think that if Golic can pass it with time to spare, Albert should be able to do it. He is SUPPOSED to be an elite Defensive lineman.

[SirClintonPortis]

I'm back to calling him Feignsworth. Bum knee or not, I'm starting to think the swelling is minor and shouldn't hold him back for long. He's got 2 more days on my clock.
