I'm talking about his decision being his. You may not like it, but it's not about you.

Well, what is? Technically none of it is really about us.

Plus, there's nothing in his contract that makes him obligated to attend voluntary workouts, had there been, the team would have been able to deal with him differently.

No there isn't, but he shouldn't have told people he'd be there. Would have actually been easier to swallow had he been upfront and said I won't be there or even I'm not sure I will be there

I was unaware he had actually made a prior commitment.

I think Feignsworth is owning up simply because the NFLPA advised him to. Perhaps later he will actually fall in love with the 3-4, but now, I don't think he's 100% sincere.

how is he new and improved? have we played a game yet?? he lost some weight. big deal. play more than two plays in a row w/out rolling around on the ground like a fish out of water and then come talk to me.

Well, Haynesworth has become the new Jason Campbell. People are going to continue to bitch no matter what, we'll get moronic scenarios where he is traded, and all the team's fault will be pinned on him. So I guess we should be ready for a slew of bitching/PMS'ing rants.

HA ! Now that's funny. I would never compare Albert Hanesworth to that waste of a roster spot. That's wrong. I wanted him out of here because he failed and in some cases outright refused to do some things that QB's,...well the good QB's do. Haynesworth, I want him here. No matter how the Haynesworth haters slice it, that bamma is a force. Campbell was and wanted to be just another dude on the team. That's enough for the Oakland Raider. I'm glad Al is here and I look forward to seeing him stop Brandon Jacobs on whatever and 1's again !

I meant more as a polarizing subject in this forum.

Yeah, I love guys who get paid $42 million but don't come into training camp, whine and complain about the defense etc. As for those guys who were never given what they needed to succeed yet never complained, had a solid character etc., let's throw them under the bus.

I think most people are willing to give AH a clean new slate. I am. Last year is over with. But he had better be ready to play and be in tip top shape. If he is then all will be forgotten.

Let's see how many members that were calling for his trade last month, jump on his bandwagon this month.

I doubt this will happen. We have many folks here that blindly hate a player, no matter what.

That being said, it seems that Haynesworth is (finally) saying the right things, however he has a lot to prove and has a lot to do to convince Redskins fans to get behind him.

While it is hard to just ignore what Haynesworth did, I do hope that this situation becomes old news fast. I would rather discuss the team in training camp and things like that, instead of hearing the same overused comments about what Haynesworth did, etc., etc.
