Haynesworth fails conditioning test

T.o. Is carrying ochocincos pads in cincy. It looks like his ego has shrunk to normal size. Maybe we should have pursued him after all...

Thats all part of the circus act. After intermission....then the implosion.

BO and stinko are a clown show. Good place for them in that shit hole called cincy!

There are so many different scenarios that can play out with having Chad Johson and Terrel Owens on the same team. Some very bad and some very good. Like some have said about our RB core if this was 2005 or 2004 those two would have been an unstoppable on the field together.

But Skinsfan I do agree.... The Media Circus is coming to Cincy all season to get the TO and Chad sound bites.

You remember AH spent a good portion of last season rolling around on the ground every few series either grabbing his hip, knee, ____ (insert various body part here).

100 million my eye.
While he was grabbing his various body parts, I think Dan was grabbing his wallet. With a little luck he will be the last of Vinnies "Bargain Babies"???
AND.............who knows, perhaps this will work out and he can be the terror he is capable of being?

I'm wondering how good TO will be this year. Didn't hear much from him last year while he was in Buffalo. Although, he will have a pro bowl QB throwing at him and another big thread opposite to him in Ochocinco. He could benefit from this a lot. If Cincy wins, I doubt there'll be much of a circus. If they lose, that's another story.

I think TO will have a reemergence of sorts -- you can't blame him for his production (or lack thereof) in Buffalo when you consider that that the offense really doesn't have any weapons and he has Trent Edwards throwing to him.

Coupled with Palmer in Cincy with another top-tier receiver to draw away coverage, he should have a very productive year (the kind of year where he either gets a lot of yards OR a lot of touchdowns just b/c I could see Ochocinco getting all the yards and him - TO - getting all the TDs or vice versa)

He didn't take the test again this morning.

Yea, Fat Al needs more rest. After such a hard off-season it's taken its toll. Will retry Monday.

Haynesworth plans to rest knee another day

Apparently, Albert Haynesworth needs another day off to rest his sore knee.

The Pro Bowl defensive lineman, who injured his knee while twice failing to pass a difficult conditioning test during the first two days of Redskins training camp, plans to sit out again today in hopes of passing Monday and being cleared to practice, two people familiar with the situation said early Sunday morning.

One source said, however, said that Haynesworth could change his mind and insist on being retested before Sunday's morning practice. But the source also described such a scenario as being unlikely.

Haynesworth's knee was swollen when he arrived at Redskins Park on Saturday, prompting team medical personnel to recommend treatment and rest before he again attempts to complete two, timed 300-yard shuttle runs. Coach Mike Shanahan, the Redskins' top football official, will not permit Haynesworth, who skipped all but one day of Shanahan's first offseason conditioning program, to practice until he passes the test.

Haynesworth,who team officials acknowledge dropped 35 pounds in the offseason, fared well in the first phase of his initial attempt Thursday, but needed a lavatory break and was unable to complete the test upon his return. He also ran well in stretches Friday, said Ray Wright, Washington's strength coach. Although the two-time all-pro has not been permitted to work on the field with his teammates, he has received individual tutoring each day from defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and defensive line coach Jacob Burney. Haynesworth is very far behind his teammates in learning Washington's new 3-4 scheme, so Haslett and Burney are doing what they can to help get him up to speed. Several team sources, however, say Haynesworth eventually must join in 11-on-11 drills if the team hopes to have him ready to start the season.

Anyone who played high school ball will remember a defense that was common called a 5-3 monster...or variations of it. A nose guard ,2 tackels and 2 stand up DE's with 3 Lber's ,this is very much the same except the tackels are now called ends and the ends are replaced with lber's.Point is AH responsability at times will be outside-in containment and pursuit....by playing RE he'll be doing more running then if in the middle and if he has knee problems with running now it will only get worse.

Nothing more than a publicity stunt on the part of TO. The guy's a freak for seeing his name in print, anything to get attention.
