Regardless, I am glad that the team is together, with a week of practice before the first preseason game. And I think all the teammates can feel that it was handled professionally, and not cause much stir in the locker room.

That's great C. I bet you were awesome at putting puzzles together as a kid!

Way to use those deductive reasoning skills!

Praise God. Now move along, people. Nothing to see here. (yeah, right...)

If we have learned one thing it is that Shanahan is the mofo boss. No more trade talk, and hopefully no more "me me me."

Fyi:
From 1-5pm today at Big Al's restaurant in Richmond if you can do the condition test you get free wings. I thought that was a pretty cool promotion. Im not doing it, but thought others might want to try it

BTW it is really good to have all the players on the skins praticing now, unless otherwise injured.

AH could be great in this defense, it will be fun to see where and how he is used and I really hope that he enjoys this defense. As we all know last year he provided a way to let AC and BO get free many times.

So I'm watching the Jim Haslett vid from the Redskins site.
When asked "Is Albert eager to play End (paraphrasing) ? Haslett responded "He really has no say in that" (as in he don't call the shots around here.
I LOVE that NO nonsense, he's just another face attitude.
Very much needed for this team......nobody bigger than the whole

watched the same thing as you... the reporter asked if Albert was open to learning nose tackle first and eager to take on those responsibilities and Haslett reponded he had no say in it.

True, but at the same time now that this ego contest is over I do hope that the team focuses on putting the right players in the right position. I am glad that this whole situation is over and MS and the coaching staff have asserted their authority.

If healthy, Kemo should be the NT, he has the physique for being a NT and has the experience. Teams like Green Bay, New England, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco spent resources in keeping their true Nose Tackles on their rosters (I forgot the NT in Green Bay, but the Pats kept Wilfork, Steelers locked up Casey Hampton, and the 49ers re-signed Aubrayo Franklin).

Haynesworth will be a good rushing NT on passing situation, and I think him at either Daniels or Carriker at ends will do a good job at stopping the run. I also see Kemo and AH taking up so many blockers, that it will allow the likes of Orakpo or Alexander to come through with ease during a rush.

Why are you so sure of the ego contest slant? Before you light me up, not saying you are wrong, just questioning if we should just take it at face value as being all ego. 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.

It seems that Haslett is genuinely excited to have a player of AH's caliber on his defense. I hope that he brings out the same talent that Fisher and Schwartz got out of him in Tennessee. Now I hope JLC and the rest of the football media can focus on reporting football from our team and not hype up crap non-stories.

Honestly, the only reporting I like to read are the training camp reports from the Redskins Blog, and stuff from Twitter. Both sports radio stations in the area suck big time, trust me you're not missing much from that end.
