[SmootSmack]

Think of how great of shape AH could have been in had he not spent the first months of the off-season gaining nearly 15 pounds

lol yeah.. putting him at 330 puts him around where he started last season right?

granted he still has another 2 weeks plus camp to improve even more

I think it is a good report.

Doesn't Haslett want the DE around 326. Maybe that is what he is working to get close to. I don't know juswt throwing it out there. Want the guy to come in shape and be ready to play football. Nothing more nothing less.

Because Haynesworth was trying to join the Heat.

He's trying to slim down since Derrick Fisher took that 3 year deal to stay in LA, he probably thinks he has a shot at playing the point. I can see it now. Fat Al dishes a no look pass to LeBron for a jam. Poetry.

nah I got you.. AH at 320 would be good as long as his conditioning backed it up.. didn't state it well but I meant the healthy 320 more for the guys that were trying to gain like Daniels

he should be thankful that they'll move him around a bit because they may use him a bit more situationally and he'll get some breaks here and there rotating out with guys like Golston, Daniels, Kemoeatu, etc

It's going to be surprising to some how well Haynesworth will be received once he shows up for camp in shape. A great many things have been said during the course of his absence but the bottom line is football.

With the money he's being paid there's no way he's going to sit. Come opening day I look for him to be in the starting line-up.

At least one football talking head has said that this sort of thing happens all the time and that should he show up it will all be water under the bridge (I think this particular talking head mentioned Strahan's hold out as an example). Besides I'm sure the attention will shift to players that are planning to continue their hold out into the season (I think Vincent Jackson is one of them, I could be wrong).

Personally, I think he'll be damaging his career (further) if he holds out during training camp and into the season. Honestly, at this point I don't care what he does or what is said about him now, because as someone has said he just need to show up for training camp and get to work.

I hear ya. I don't want a guy who just went on a diet to lose wieght or a guy who ate alot to put on wieght. We want good conditioned guys who are ready to play 45-60 plays a game. Of course if our D plays really well then the guys don't have to be on the field for very long!

I'll take a 2008 version of AH on my team. He can change games. Maybe he will be motivated to show the league he is still a beast and not a bum that most are calling him out to be right now.
