WP: Haynesworth will be at Redskins Park Monday

"When did AH not show up? If those games down the stretch had mattered, he would have played in at least a couple of them."

Now don't get me wrong...I like AH, but you aren't getting the point...all i'm saying is....is he better be at training camp...for the money he is worth...he better be.

And for your other questions, yes...he is responsible...when you committ that much money to somebody, they better produce at an extremely high level, or to me, he is a BUST. And some might not agree...but can you imagine the amount of talent we could have had on our team if we had not signed AH?

Don't forget the part that he is a shitty human being as well, I mean i'm not one to judge...but he has left one person paralyzed via his actions behind the wheel....and with said FAT contract...hasn't offered a dime to his family...that signals peice of shit to me...and if you don't agree you are TOO much of a homer for the SKINS.

Trick Question?

There is a lot of "meat" in this article:

Redskins Insider - Haynesworth will take first step in new system as workouts start Monday (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/albert-haynesworth/haynesworth-will-take-first-st.html?wprss=redskinsinsider)



I bolded the parts that interested me, and specifically the part about Blache. It just reinforced my belief that ALOT of the talent on the defense has been held back by poor coaching, and poor interpersonal skills from the coaches. These guys are all adults, and have a job to do, but if you think that the boss "has it in for you" or "doesn't get it", your performance will be affected.

The articale said ............"

In April, the Redskins will cut Haynesworth a check for the $21 million option bonus he is owed. Haynesworth's 2010 base salary of $3.6 million is guaranteed as is his 2011 base of $5.4 million. Obviously, that's a huge financial commitment, so the Redskins need Haynesworth to be in a good frame of mind."

1) Do you really believe that the coach had it out for him?

2)Do you also believe...that Al's physical condition was not part of the problem?

3)...............and you don't think 21+ million is reason enough to have a good frame of mind,................to come in and do your job?

3)...............and you don't think 21+ million is reason enough to have a good frame of mind,................to come in and do your job?Had it out for him, I think, gives Blache a lot more credit than he earned here. I think it's more like he never had any idea what he could do with him, and even more bluntly, had no idea that a featured defensive lineman who isn't given sufficient opportunity to sack the opposing team's quarterback could actually be unhappy with his role.

Al's physical conditioning was hardly relevant considering that he played every (possible) snap of the last 11 games he dressed for with a list of injuries that might force a lesser player to be inactive. Physical conditioning, not really a relevant concern. Physical condition, on the other hand, needs to be closely monitored.

He'll get that 21 million this year (no matter what we do with him), and I don't think any of us are worried about him doing his job. Haynesworth, even the bruised, battered version that the Redskins bought, is still better and more versatile than 96% of defensive tackles in this league. He showed up on film whenever he played last year.

No Skins fan feels cheated by Albert Haynesworth. Those who were against the signing are probably still against it for all the same reasons, but he came in and did everything the Redskins asked of him. Then he caught some flak and ran his mouth in the media. Shit happens.

1) Maybe "had it out for him" was too harsh, but I think it's fair to say that Blache showed preferential treatment to players, and AH was not one of those.

2) No, I really don't think AH's physical conditioning was part of the problem, again, when you watched him play, he would take on from 1 to 3 players and still be collapsing the pocket or stuffing the run. I think it's normal for a body to need a quick recharge after that kind of exertion. Maybe I'm just too understanding.

3) Money is not the end all for a job. Yes it's nice, and yes you wish someone getting that much money just did whatever, but that's not really human nature, in fact human nature tends more towards the ego of you paid me x to do it, so let me do it my way because that's what you paid me for.

Pretty funny, this article compares JZ's quotes before minicamp with MS. What a difference:
Redskins First Team Activities Begin Today; What Players Will Skip? (http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Redskins_First_Team_Activities_Begin_Today_What_Pl ayers_Will_Skip/2249380)

REALLY...how was that NOT a red flag?

I get so tired of these sports reporters bringing up Zorn and now Blache. They're both gone so what's the point? The bottom line is the players on defense, at times simply played like shit. That includes AH for not being able to stay on the field and play at a high level for more than two plays at a time. Hopefully the new staff will be able to motivate some of the current players to play better and take their jobs more seriously

Again, AH sitting out plays was overblown.

They are looking for chinks in the armor since the off season has gone pretty smoothly. Some of these jerks are praying for CP and or AH to miss the workouts because it is a better story.

AH is getting paid alot of money to be a leader on this team. That means coming to work every day w/ a good attitude. I do like AH and the way he plays, but he's got to be a team guy. He's got to be willing to help out the team no matter what. If he doesn't isn't that called selfish? I think he'll be fine.

I agree the sitting out plays was WAY overblown.
