He would still stop the run.

I'm not happy but it is voluntary, & if he's working with his own PT then so be as long as he produces on the field then i guess it is what it is.

I disagree with people that say that these are voluntary because its no biggie. If Portis and Landry showed up, then you should, because those are some of the biggest slackers on the skins, and it shows that they're starting to buying shanahans philosophy. Albert not being here shows that he could care less, and now he's the only one who decides that he's too good or too in shape(LOL) to be here. I say that just because of this his chances of him not playing for us next year just went up a little.

Portis is fighting for a roster spot.

Again, more hatred towards Landry.... Did I miss the report that Landry skips practice all the time? Maybe I am wrong, I just don't remember hearing that Landry is "one of the biggest slackers".

Wasn't it last year or two years ago that no one knew where laron was and he wasn't returning phone calls to the coaches, and later he eventually showed up to training camp and was just chilling in Louisiana

Yes, it was reported that he had not returned phone calls last summer. I wouldn't say he was just chilling though. Training with his brother Dawan in Slidell, LA. My good friend works out at the same gym as LaRon.

I don't remember that being during the mandatory phase of the offseason.

When in rome..... They were all doing it. U boys, Laron, Springs, etc.

Don't hold him up to a standard that the rest of team didn't follow.

If my company asked people to come in voluntary on a saturday, you can bet that i wouldn't show up either.

[REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE]

I'd rather Haynesworth attend then not attend, but at the same time, these are voluntary workouts, wake me when he decides to not show up to training camp.

[SkinsfanNTX]

I don't think his trainer is getting the job done...Fat Albert was out-of-shape all year.

[Hog1]

I am confident Shanny HAS dealt with similar things successfully before. AND Bruce can assist armed with dealing with the likes of Warren Sapp.........

Shahanan and Allen knew about this long before going into last week so they weren't blindsided.

None of the Redskins should be blindsided by this, they knew what they were getting when they signed AH last year. This is how he operates. They're kidding themselves if they thought they were going to change him

Has it been determined that his reason for doing whatever he's doing is a grievous one? ...... And does the team find his behavior objectionable?

Haven't heard anything other than they knew beforehand

Guys, it's just voluntary camp.. Plus read this:

But here's the thing: He never intended to and the Redskins were made aware of his plans, people familiar with the situation said.....

Haynesworth also participated in other first-day activities. But Haynesworth, who is determined to have a big year in 2010, comitted to an individual workout regime with a trainer before the Redskins' plans were set, according to the people with knowledge of the situation.

Redskins Insider - Haynesworth's workout regime

Since Redskins are aware of the situation; I don't see any reason for us to jump gun on Haynesworth..
