Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

But by not bending at all under the cicumstances (a new coaching staff that is putting in a new defensive system, all of his teammates being there, the disappointing record of the team last season, etc.) he seems to me to be someone who is either just simply rebelling against authority or perhaps is trying to influence Mike Shanahan to trade him.

When I consider the strong personalities of the principle antagonists in this drama (Haynesworth and Shanahan) it's hard for me to imagine it ending with AH playing football for the Redskins. Trading Haynesworth would be the worst case scenario for me because I think that Albert is an exceptionally good football player who makes us a better team.

In a way, it would look more peculiar if he said I'm totally committed to getting better and to do that I need to workout on my own, and have no distractions, and I'm totally focused on working out and getting better....but I can take a few days off to break my routine leading up to training camp
