That means he walked through the second part. Walking is the slow form of running.


I thought that was jogging?

I don't necessarily believe he failed due to conditioning...but from laziness or just not trying.

Supposedly, he's slim and in great shape for DE...probably lost the weight so he couldn't be used at NT...but he should be in good shape. His motivation is probably low or nonexistent though.

If this continues, the Skins should pursue recouping some or all of the signing bonus, then cut him.

Test is usually something super easy like running 50 yards a certain number of times and in a certain amount of time. So he could have run for some of it and walked the other part.

To be fair the source is Fox News which is always wrong. =)

Not Fox News. Fox Sports and Fox News are separate, unrelated entities. Nice try...not really.

i think in the hierarchy of things jogging actually falls in between walking and running. walking is slowest and running is fastest.

Or Shanahan would find a way to fail him just to stick it to him. Given Shanahan's language over the past day, it would not surprise me. While I don't think AH needs to be cut any slack, I think there are better ways to stick it to him during camp rather than doing this and continue the media circus. I hope this is not the case.

If true, who cares? Did any other players fail the test?
The guy is a 340 pound immovable object, not a WR or DB.
They are worried he is going to get hurt because he cannot run a certain routine? Silly. Put him in and let him run over some of our OL. Then see who will get hurt.

Shanahan - "Hey fatso, you failed to keep your shorts up at an acceptable height during your sprint. You fail. Do it again, this time backwards and blindfolded."

What about sprinting?

Im worried that in the second part of the test Al got upset about somthing and just walked thourgh the remaining workouts. Maybe he had to complete the test (even without effort) for contract purposes? Maybe im reading too much into this?


Also i just found this. Hopefull it will clear somethings up:

I find it odd that he passed the first part but failed the second part. Ah well, he's still Albert Feignsworth.
