The guy has been an a$$wipe since before the season started.
Boot him now!

Let me SUGGEST - - with exactly no inside information to lead me to this suggestion - - that there is one constant factor in the AH saga from the day he signed his deal just moments after free agency started and today.

The GM situation has changed.

The coaching staff has changed.

AH is still here and still the same person/player.

One other "team factor" is still the same...

Where's Waldo?

He will not be released this season, but it sure sounds like he wont be brought back next year...if there is a next year.

In all fairness to AH, the Redskins probably ruined his career. He was doing just fine before we got our hands on him. He was worth 100 mill when we got him, now we take whatever we can get for him. Only the Skins can do that to a player like AH. Pathetic if you ask me.

He's always been the same guy, Fisher and Schwartz just did a good job at handling him. And he did have the face stomping incident so...

At the end of the day he's done this to himself. Skipping camps, showing up late to meetings, putting in half-assed efforts, etc.

For what it's worth, the sports junkies were saying other players on the team said haynesworth was hung over friday morning. a guy called in to the show and said haynesworth was at The tap room at 130 the night previous night. I know this just qualifies as a rumor but if it's true, its disgraceful.

Regardless of who's in charge, we don't seem to handle anyone well. I agree that he's done all of this to himself, I just don't know why must he be kept in this limbo. Either play him or cut him, this should've been done a long time ago.

I'd make his ass practice and show up and play until the end of the year. Why just release him now so some other team could sign him to make a push for the SB. I mean we know the guy can play when he wants and I'm sure some team would be willing to sign him for the rest of the year. I could also see AH wanting to play so he could maybe get to a SB.

Let's clarifty 'changing the culture' for a minute. In essence it simply means letting players know who is in charge & holding them all to the same standards as much as possible. Basically it's just MS enforcing rules & creating some discipline. If AH has been insubordinate, what should MS do? Allow him to fail his training test, play whatever position he wants, skip or be late for meetings, miss practices?

I won't disagree that MS has a big ego & is stubborn, but that's part of why he's running an NFL team. In this case I'm not feeling it that this whole thing came about simply because of Shan.

Haynesworth has been a problem since the beginning. Nothing good has come of the way that Shanahan has handled this situation. And it is ALL on him because everyone knows there is no way in hell Haynesworth is going to change. Haynesworth has brought this mess on himself and his career is pretty much down the tubes; however we didn't need and the team should've cut their losses and gotten rid of him, plain and simple.
