The media wants this slant to be accepted since they got 10 days worth of copy out of it. Trainers said the knee showed signs of swelling after the first botched attempt. Secondly, the guy did shed 35 lbs in the offseason, so the guy obviously wanted to be in better shape. Would he have worked his ass off just to **** around during preseason? Idle speculation on my part of course is AH messed up his knee shedding those 35 lbs off and missed the OTA's because of it, not wanting the FO of his knee problems. Thing is this happened during his rants about going to the 3-4 and the drama that went with it. I am not saying ego couldn't be the main factor in the drama, but him coming to camp 35 lbs lighter shows me he came to play. I don't think he would do all that work, just to screw up his preseason playing games by failing a physical fitness test on purpose.

WHY WHY WHY keep discussing little things? Crap, I put a post that talks about the defense and how Haynesworth, Kemo, and other guys could fit and all you can think about writing a paragraph is my personal opinion that this was an ego contest? No wonder the media hypes these non-stories.

Well you did say it was an ego trip in your first sentence. My point was it might have been less ego trip than a guy that might have been hiding an injury. And by the way the thread is about the "non story", so it seems like I can talk about it since it is what the thread is about. I did read your entire post Ruh, and I am with you on the hoping they put the right personnel in the right positions. I do hope they don't stick AH at NT though.

I doubt they'll stick him at NT, just on passing downs I think.
