Who said he was our "top end" he hasn't even seen the football field. And by the way he sucked wind frequently on the sideline last season as a DT you think thats really gonna change..?

This whole scenario is pretty pathetic by AH. For one you can't pass a conditioning test because why exactly? If he had been working out all offseason to get into better shape and losing weight properly with cardio and strength training he should have been able to come in and run some "drills" in the given amount of time without a problem. BUT now you have ran a couple of times in the last 2 days and it has left your knee swollen. does this really sound as though a guy who is in top shape? Or has been training all offseason? A little running and now you will be held out of practice for a sore knee?

I have been defending him the last few weeks and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but at this point I am done. The team needs to get him into shape, and if i was Shanahan and the Redskins I would feel as though I had been lied too the whole time by this guy and his trainer. So what he lost some weight and did some working out? He didn't get himself into a "top" shape by any means.

Of course he then may develop another health concern.

So then you would have to ask yourself is this guy even worth keeping around on the football team? Do you trade him or just flat out release him?

rant over for now...

p.s.

I still want to AH to get with the program and succeed here in DC, but if it drags on and on I wouldn't miss him either.
