Haynesworth to the Patriots for a 5th rounder.

I concur with the majority of the Redskin players who seem to think too much time has already been spent talking about Albert Haynesworth. Time for the positives.

Unfortunately the media is not ready to stop talking about this guy, it is all over ESPN980. I'm like, come on there are better and more relevant things to talk about. This is why I hate radio coverage in our area.

The fact that we could even get any draft pick for AH is reason enough to rejoice. Same with McNabb. We probably would have released them both eventually, so something's better than nothing.

Should be interesting when we play new england this yr!

[SFREDSKIN]

Now we know why Belichick didn't draft a pass rusher during the draft, he had this planned all along. Haynesworth will probably have a great year like Cory Dillon and Moss did with NE when they were acquired. I'm glad the fat **** is gone and the Redskins can put it behind them and never repeat the blunders they did with McNabb and fat ****.

If AH isn't riding the bench by then

IF AH regains his probowl dominating self in NE......it will make Mike Shanahan look bad. Shananhan's image as an inspirational leader and head coach will take a hit. Especially if Bellichicken shows he can take guys with troubled pasts like Randy Moss, Corey Dillon and AH and do well with them.

Woke up and found out that Fatassworth was traded and the Redskins cut Rabach.

Its a great day to be a Redskins fan.

This off season is off to a great start. Free and clear to take off towards the future now that the McNabb/Haynesworth situations have been handled.

We need to sign another offensive guard now!

yeah great read but it pisses me off more than anything not a redskins fan but hate the Pricks crybaby's liek Haynersworth and I truly hate the Patriots

I won't be suprised if AH makes the Probowl w/ the Patriots. So far Mike Shanahan has blown up a top defense to make it one of the worst in football and completely mishandled a franchise QB who happens to be one of the more popular players in the league. My intuition is few great players will want to work under Shanny during his tenure w/ us.

I thought the move to the 3-4 wasn't a great idea, but let's not kid ourselves we were only a statistical top ten team. We weren't a good D when it came to making stops when needed or making big plays (sacks/turn-overs) under Blache. Blache's D was a "bend don't break" D that kept us in games but couldn't make stops in the 4th qtr or win games for us.

I'm also pretty sure MS/KS didn't make any of the piss-poor throws or decisions McNabb made last year. And no one wanted McNabb to succeed more than MS since he green-lighted the trade. McNabb's failure is on him and the fact that he doesn't have the physical tools he had 3-4 years ago. If he was still a franchise level QB that Philly felt could take them back deep into the playoffs they would've never let him go.

We need to develop our own great players, not look to poach them in FA or trades, as that's a very costly proposition that the current front office appears to be avoiding (outside of the McNabb trade).

McNabb's skill level is debatable. We'll see how he does in Minn...personally I think he's gonna be close to his top years in Philly.

There's no comparison to the defense pre and post Shanny. One was very stout and a player or two away from elite, the other is flat out bad.

I don't think Barry Cofield is gonna rescue our defens lmao. I took a poll around the office and nobody could say where Cofield's played or what he's done. We might as well celebrate that Turd Ferguson is on the roster lol.

Shanny has always struggled to identify and develop defensive talent. Wade Phillips did it for him during the best years in Denver. Honestly I don't expect much on that side of the ball. I do think/hope our offense will improve and become exciting to watch!!!
