Schefter: "Skins NOT shopping Big Al"

I for one am ok with that.
Same here.. we're the Redskins.. warriors

not the Washington Good Samaritans

I'm not saying pick up baby killers but a guy who said he wants to actually earn his money and wants to play at his best position is hardly a concern for me. We bitched when Cooley was blocking way more than running routes despite needing his help, why can't we bitch when Al should be going after the passer instead of having a 3-way with 2 OL?

This all means AH is surely to be traded!

hahahaha! I really hope not, but if he is, I hope we can get Gaither and a 1st out of it. That would be a trade I would make.

Or a 1st and 3rd.

You must have dreamed up that idea. The biggest hole we have is Left Offensive Tackle. Okung is a consensus Top 5 Draft Pick who plays left tackle. Why wouldn't we want him to be there so we have a chance of filling that hole? Please don't tell me that some of the other OT's in the draft are just as good or almost just as good because they're not.

We can get another draft pick by trading JC or we can trade a 2011 pick for a pick this year if someone good falls in the draft but we must have a top notch LT from somewhere to get the production we need on offense.

If Okung is gone at #4, then I agree that trading down might be a good thing to do but if he's there I believe we need to take him.

yea, the most important person in the draft for us is OKUNG. But if he is not available then perhaps the prudent move is to just go ahead and take Trent Williams because tackle is a CRITICAL need. We cannot draft a project.

Although I suppose we could always trade for somebody's left tackle and a draft pick for our #4 pick if Bradford was available. I just don't know if Buffalo or Cleveland or Seattle have a left tackle that we might want.

The sad thing is AH could beat two OL with enough frequency to be a force in the running and passing game if he'd take his head out of ass.

On a side note, when did it become ok to tell your boss you're not going to do something or follow an assignment? I'd having him cleaning my toilets if I were ol' Danny Boy. I bet he'd be more than happy to play NT after a month or so of cleaning up after me.

you do realize that these are voluntary and that if the Skins management team looked like they were forcing AH to be there, they could be fined or have draft picks taken away right? AH has said he's not going to miss any mandatory ones.

So you're ok with our coaching staff having players play out of position? :doh:

I thought that ended with Blache retiring.

I dunno why, but I think A.H. gets his shit together and has 12+ sacks this year, and our team leads the league in sacks this season. Top 5 Defense this year. But only if Haynesworth stays.

:D

Gosh, I really, truly want him to succeed. I really hope the reports of him being excited are true, cause if they are, thats enough to make any skins fan excited as well. Things are changing for the better. A happy, excited motivated Haynesworth with Orakpo now being a veteran, only means LOTS of trouble for opposing defenses. I just hope we run the 43 more than the 34.

Carter, Kemoeatu, Haynesworth, Orakpo

That is one scary ass looking line for offenses lining up opposite them.

It is a bad sign that Al gets a check for 21 million 6 days ago and refuses to show up for things. Voluntary or not, he is not doing the best thing for the team.

This sucks, he was one of my favorite players but if he keeps blowing off Shanahan, he is gone. Phat Al doing whatever the eff he wants is not part of the new plan.

I am pissed.

AH will be at April's Mini Camp & i think he will stay after that, once he sees how things are coming together. Make no mistake we need him, DF wins CHAMPIONSHIPS or did we forget.

If we played AH as a 1 technique nose like Jay Ratliff - quick and penetrating rather than just space clogging - AH may actually like it and flourish.
