Was Shanahan Wrong Deactivating Haynesworth vs. Indy

[over the mountain]

I know, I know but come on matty. Are you telling me that you wouldnt have called AH into your office, have haslett come in, close the door then ask AH if he wanted to play? The when he said he would like to play to help him escape from the off field stuff, you would still let him show up sunday expecting to play but find your stuff packed up? (idk if or when he was told he was not playing. the article makes it seem he wasnt told but figured it out when he showed up sunday)

Im just sayin, shanny knows that players want to play football in times of tragedy to help them get their mind of things.

from a human aspect, shanny failed.

you get my point thoo i think - players turn to the comforts of the gridiron to escape their mourning and thoughts, even players like AH. All things past taken into account, as a head coach you find a way to have him suited up atleast and active for a couple plays. you cant take away football from him at that point, football to these guys is the normal, it gets them back to what they know and love, the act on instinct not thinking about the off field trauma.

to my surprise i thought he would be indifferent - maybe he is but just gave the cliche sound bite and im the fish on the hook.
