I wish that was a 100% chance he will be released. Sick of him, what a failed experiment.This whole team, from top to bottom is a failed experiment.

In the next collective bargaining agreement there needs to be a DPL (Douche Player List) where teams can place players who refuses to fulfill their contract or perform on the field.

Fck the money, I say do whatever it takes to make his life miserable.

""That's my point. I'm tired of going through season after season where we lose games that we should win, guys not doing the right thing, guys not putting the best effort in, whatever it may be. I'm tried of that, man. We deserve better."
- Philip Daniels

I'm glad a player's finally airing out the dirty laundry. I think the Skins have been too loyal about keeping things in-house. The organization has lost for too long and the fans are at a point that transparency is needed.

If a player is saying that loafing has been a problem every season, I say good for Shanahan and whatever kind of punishments he's handing out. Talent, scheme changes, luck be damned. I've watched teams like the Lions and Bills this season... and while their records may be worse than ours, they keep many of their games competitive.

We've had talent in the past, schemes that have worked... the one constant? Losing. And it all starts with attitude. 3-4 or 4-3... missed tackling, players dropping passes, guys not going full speed on game day- that's a lack of focus and want.

As long as Danny Snyder's pocket is the only thing suffering from such moves, I'll buy it. If I'm going to flog myself every Sunday watching the Skins lose, if I'm going to receive ridicule from all my friends over the years for being a fan of this team, if I'm going to have my hopes dashed every season at the halfway point... I'd rather go through such masochism if the performers are at least leaving it all out on the field. If professional football players have been able to skate by on less-than optimum behavior, I'll take the frito lays we'd get in return for Fat Al.

I would also say that I'm pleasantly surprised that the majority of posts on this thread weren't roasting shanahan for this situation, which is what I expected to be the case. It's about time we realized that shanahan isn't at fault for inheriting a worthless fat cry-baby and trying to get him to understand that he isn't exempt from the rules.

At first that was my thought on the whole thing...but now as the players are starting to speak out, its obvious this whole situation is a lot more than just the OTA's and those two disagreeing on what offseason work is.... I'm just ready for it to be over. Cut Haynesworth and get it over with.

Redskins Insider - Albert Haynesworth: 'I was not hung over.' (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/albert-haynesworth/albert-haynesworth-i-was-not-h.html)

wow

"We're not putting the highest-paid guy, and a guy I think is one of the best defensive tackles in the game, on the field to try to help us win games. They've got me sitting on the bench. So they can just try to slander my name to say whatever they want, but we all know what the real truth is."

i don't think you understood where i was coming from. i understand it takes time to see some results, but my point is that no one in the redskins organization seems to know how they are going to make the changes. i think there have been some moderate improvements but i don't think they really know what direction the team is headed in and that part scares the s outta me. shanahan has the rings so he gets some time and it will obviously take time, it would just be nice to know there was a plan of action they were trying to follow.

My fault then, I may have made some assumptions haha. I feel like there is a plan of action, but that there may be a lot of it that isn't concrete, as the NFL is a dynamic animal. They also probably don't feel obligated to share their plan with the public, which I suppose is their prerogative. At least for now, and into the foreseeable future, I'm buying into the "shanahan plan."

Well, Haynesworth just said on the radio that he's not showing up for his meeting with Shanahan tomorrow "I'm still heated over this"

I would say just use better judgement when picking players. Giving this guy 40 mil was very poor judgement by our front office. They simply didn't do their homework.

I have a feeling this is going to be a Keyshawn Johnson situation.
