Haynesworth Sent Home From Practice (rips defensive scheme/coaches)

[Bigreds77]

If Gray gets the axe I wonder what HC would want him? He went against the HC & sold out the Rooney rule also.

Wow Zorn is really being a little bitch now. I cant wait for the season to be over and see where the team is headed this offseason.

I think Albert was sent home nore for speaking out publicly against Blache and the BS scheme they run. He also was late , but that was just an excuse to send him home. I believe Albet that the coaches were pissed he spoke out against Blache.

Our Defense this year has been up and down. When we needed them to make a stop they can't. When we needed them to get to the QB they can't. When we needed them to force a turnover they don't. When we needed them to score points the won't. It appears our defense coaching philospy is dont give up big plays and keep them from scoring TD's we will settle for FG's. All this does is keeps us from being aggressive and puts us on our heels.

Personally people who say that Haynesworth isn't doing well this year don't know football. The guy has 4 sacks as a DT and he's a huge part of the reason that we have two guys with double digit sacks. Keep in mind the leader of the Titans only have 29 sacks this year after 44 last year.

Maybe he was right about Blache's scheme but the way he went about it was horrible. I'm all for a change at D-Coordinator, particularly if Shannahan can bring in Mike Zimmer.

Someone also pointed out that Haynesworth is becoming image conscious, if anything I think you have a point there.

One thing I want to bring notice to is the fact that despite having one of the league's best defenses, don't you guys feel as if they give up a lot of big plays and don't show up when it matters most? I've lost track of the times when the defense has really needed to have a stop and been run over...in my opinion, the finger of blame falls squarely on the coaching and I'll be happy to see Blache gone

I just have an honest question for you guys. Given that Portis earlier this year was guilty of the same stuff (badmouthing coaches, people, etc...) why was no discipline issued to him? Now i know he would have gotten injured anyway, but he did this stuff all the time and nobody ever touched him....whY?

Portis wasn't disciplined because all he did was badmouth players. Haynesworth was allegedly disciplined because he showed up late. I guess if you show up on time you can talk as much trash as you want.

Phat Al spoke his mind at the right time if you ask me. He is saying you brought me over to be the dominant player i was in Tenn so let me be me. This is a message to the owner, GM, current coaching staff, future coaching staff, players & peers. I LOVE IT!!!

Albert upset the coaches and I think we are seeing a little of Zorn's ugly side right now considering how far south he has taken this team

I agree about Zorns ugly side, I also think the best possible case in this is SS's comment about Bruce Allen. I can accept AH's complaints, but if BA is trying to change the culture that would be a huge positive, especially if it includes the 100million dollar man, would send a sign that a new sherriff is in town, and no one is exempt. The worst case is if Zorn honestly felt this was his Bill Belicheck Randy Moss moment. But this staff is gone, so I really can't worry about that.

[tryfuhl]

I guess it took AH to do this for it to be okay.. every other player of ours that did it had "bad character" and whatnot in most fans' eyes

[doughtydoubter]

phat al did the right thing..im sorry we have some serious problems with our schemes...if he is to be our marquee player with rakpo as his deputy we have to play towards their strengths

Anyone ready to question Big Al on this one? Colinsworth has questioned our safety positioning all night.

Thanks for trying, Blache. You are behind the times but legitimate. Our head coach is a punchline.

Got to to disagree here.Blache and Zorn are very respected around the league and both highly thought of.It's the prior upper management and ownership under question .Colinsworth also questioned Big Al's mouth last night"keep it in house".
