Albert Haynesworth and Mike Shanahan: An unlikely win-win situation?

Longtimefan · 11-01-2010, 08:25 PM

The dye has already been cast where Haynesworth is concerned. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling we won't have Albert to kick around next season if there is one.

He is a bargain if they decide to keep him.

He has to date been the type of bargain we can.......ill afford and a far to common place occurrence at Redskin park. While the talent is there, the head is not

How has AH kept it going?? Have you seen the last 3 games he's played in?

3, Bears ..yup he had a good game against a very bad O line,Lions game played ok not what the Skins are paying for him but what I meant was when the situation was at it's peak ...there was more to blame AH then MS.

I think both mcnabb and haynesworth are here next season. The AH drama is dissipating, and I'm confident the mcnabb drama will likely do the same. Every time some issue like this comes up, everyone freaks out and makes ridiculous presumptions about getting rid of the player/coach in question. Both mcnabb and haynesworth make our team better, and there's no logic in getting rid of them unless we find a better option, which I'm doubtful will happen in one off-season.

Watching the game now, and first thought of the day: Ma'ake Kemoeatu is really in beast-mode these last two weeks. He didn't play much last week but flashed when he did. This week he's all over the place. Dominic Raiola is no slouch at center, but against Kemo and Haynesworth, he could do almost nothing right.

I agree, Kemo and AH are both playing well right now. Hasslett needs to reconize that and adjust his substitution pattern.
I watched the game again last night, mostly to watch the defense and McNabb...one major thing jumped off the scree at me. Kedric Golsten in playing really bad. He is playing on roller skates. The guy is getting pushed around and it is embarrassing. The major long runs were run right at his gap and he was pushed 5 yards off the line. Something need to be done. He is not a starter and it is time to make a change. He is not the player of the future that I thought he was. He is an ok backup, but that is it.

Golston is an interior penetrator trying to play the 3-4 scheme, and it's just not working for him. He could play Holliday's role in the 4 man nickel front quite well (and does sometimes), but he's not a two down lineman in this defense.

I am not sure if he is battling an injury that might be effecting his play, but he was terrible against the Lions. I mean really bad.
He was not getting doubled team or anything fancy, he just getting blown out on one on one blocking. Not good.

He was being blown up by the Lions' RG last year as well. Part of the reason Kevin Smith iced that game in 2009.

Rocky McIntosh is a very bad NFL linebacker. Gotta get HB Blades or Perry Riley some looks soon. It would be difficult to be much worse.

Really man?? Rocky IS too small to play the middle I think he belongs at the OLB spot but HB is terribly small and he is no Fletcher but even having small fletcher hurts us at times. HB is a lifelong backup and special teams assest but Perry I last saw at the Colts game and seems he has to use special teams for more playing time.
