Haynesworth Appreciation Thread

saden1 · 12-22-2009, 08:27 PM

While all the a-holes on the team were smiling and shaking hands Mr. Haynesworth looked like a man who lost his only child last night. Thank you Mr. Haynesworth for playing with heart, and more importantly, taking the loss personally.

Edit :Mod, please fix the spelling of appreciation in the thread title. Thanks.

did anyone else see his interview after the game? he criticized blatche for holding him back, and when asked if he was glad he came to washington, he had to think long and hard about it understandably. he was pissed, and im definitely glad to see how mad he was with how the team played and how we are this season.

i like the way he stepped up and was ready to beat the hell out of brandon jacobs last night. he was really the only one who came to rescue hall. i hope whoever the new d-coach is uses haynesworth a bit different and also keeps orakpo at de 100% of the time.

People are always giving him shit, but I'm with saden. He's one of maybe a handful of players who look like they give a shit. I LOVED he punched Jacobs in his stupid face. He's getting his teammates' backs and I respect that.

i think whoever comes in next will wise up and realize the talent we have at d-line. im sure they will be more aggressive with our rushing.

i remember another pro bowler and future hall of famer saying the same thing a year ago, and that is why blache must go, he is too stuburn and set in his ways

yea, didn't blache once say thats "sacks are overrated" or something like that. i think blache asks the d-linemen to hold their ground/gap too many times instead of just letting them rush the qb.

I think the new staff will unleash the beast. Now I hope the beast unleashes about 30 pounds from around his waist and we may have something!

SolidSnake84 · 12-22-2009, 09:14 PM

I'll admit that i questioned Haynesworth's motives and work ethic when he first came here. I still question his desire at times, but i am glad that he isn't a "yes man" and has his teammates' back when things like that happen.

I had more respect for him after everything was over, when he said he spoke with Brandon Jacobs and told him that it wasn't anything personal, its just that he was sticking up for his team mate. I think there is honor among players like that, but overall, he just handled himself like a classy person.

Albert, you are worth every dime of your contract. The man is a beast who wants to play, who wants to win, and who wants to physically beat the men in front of him. Dude is awesome. I have a big man-crush on the dude. He plays ball like the old school dudes did.

skinsfaninok · 12-22-2009, 09:55 PM

Big al is amazing live that guy

Skins fan 44 · 12-22-2009, 10:11 PM

He has heart. My main reason to love him is that he stepped on that Cowboys head. Glad he is ok. Kind of hope he does something like that next week to liven up the rivalry.

skinsfan69 · 12-22-2009, 10:13 PM

Are you kidding me w/ this silly thread??? AH takes so many damn plays off it's not even funny. He's lazy, he's not in shape, he showed up out of shape and it's carried on all through the season and it shows up in his play. Who cares if he slugs a guy when D. Hall is fighting? That's not leadership! It's stupid cause you just got 15 yards. If your fat ass was a leader then you'd get in D. Hall's face and tell him to stop fighting and ball! Haynesworth is the kind of guy you can't win with cause your highest paid guy needs to be a leader by example....aka Reggie White. This fat ass is a joke and I don't care if I get flamed.
