PrintThis is possible good news for the Lions. This could be the straw that breaks the camels back for Shanahan. He is probably so fed up with everything that if he doesnt trade him for basically nothing, then he will be cut.
If all of this ends up happening, I wouldnt be surprised if the Lions decide to trade a 6th rounder for him or if the Lions may be one of the only teams he agrees to go to if they wanna sign him. If we sign him to a 2 year deal, not too much money, and loaded with incentives I think he'll fit in perfect with the Lions.
If cut or able to be picked up for a 6th/7th rounder would you make the deal?

We want to make our OWN contract with our OWN terms….no trade.

From what I seen
It looks like they tried to make him fail so they didn’t have to deal with him for now.

Lions pretty much already said hey had no intrest
so can we stop with the fat al talk. We have Suh now and I can’t see Schwartz wanting haynesworth anywere near him right now.

A guy plays hard and plays really well during his contract years (contract year, franchise year), then gets all the money he could possibly ask for, on a long-term deal, and then refuses to try at all because he doesn’t like his role in the defensive scheme.
For the money Washington gave him, he has absolutely no right to complain about anything. Hell, even if they made him return kicks he should go out there and do it with a smile.
He’s a selfish, me-first player with well-documented attitude problems, who already got his fat paycheck. No thanks.
Hey that's a timeout, I can play right? yeah, get me--get the F-- Help me up...I can throw the ball if you need me to throw the ball...
I dont blame the guy
Players have power over what team they play for only a couple times in their careers. Albert made it clear he only wanted to play 4-3. The skins said they were a 4-3 team and he signed with them. Now, things change and shit happens and you have to roll with it, but I do feel for the guy.
I agree
with the changing of defenses on him. He signed with the understanding of one thing and got another. The way he’s handled has been very childish but in away I agree. You have to see it from his side too.

Offer Williams and a 6th for Fat Albert and be done with all this talk.
Then the Williams wall in Minn will take back seat too our DT’s.
How many lumps you want Doc?
Make it an even Williams
and let Al redo his contract with us (hey, he got his $$ already) and I say Thunderbirds Go!
Williams who?
Not Corey right? You mean the WR……

He was destined to fail it's an underhanded ploy by Shannahan to recover money.
He is getting back at Fat Albert for missing OTA’s I’m sure the NFLPA will get involved and have private physicals from specialist in sports medicine do an evaluation. A team doctor is just that a team doctor if he was told to find something you can bet he’d find something.
I disagree,
Shannahan is doing Albert a favor… If the coach just let him back in without making it tough, what kind of respect would he get from his team mates??
Shannahan kicking Fatty’s ass is sticking to the mentality and philosophy that he’s bringing to this team. If Albert is to be a leader of this team, he has to prove he’s physically and mentally tough enough.
WHY WHY WHY
would we want him? Why? Someone tell me why we want to resort back to getting players that are rejects from other teams. He’s washed up.
GO LIONS! RESTORE THE ROAR!
Keep Fat Albert....
THE HELL AWAY FROM MY TEAM DAMNIT!!!!!!
Didn't he lose like 35lbs???
I think he lost the weight so he could play outside in the ’Skins 3-4 defense. I guess ’ol Shanahan wants him to put the weight back on.

Unless, of course, he can play Safety????

You guys aren't stupid
So you have to know this wasn’t legitimately a “test”, it was payback for the media frenzy that has devoured the Redskins, and for skipping all offseason activities. Deangelo Hall, A CORNERBACK, said he doesn’t think he would be able to pass that “test”. Shanahan is just showing everyone that he runs shit in Washington; I would be extremely surprised if he ended up somewhere else.
Sure, it was a fake test
made to fail the guy because he skipped OTAs.
If I were a player on the team it would prove to me that no matter how bad you act, the front office and coaches will be bigger dicks than you. I mean, what does this prove? That Shany is a bigger dick than Al? If I were another player on the sidelines of this fracas, I would be trying to get myself out of there ASAP. No good can come from a childish pissing contest like this and the people who should know that best are the coaches.
Nice
Its more of a “wow. Look at how dysfunctional the Skins have gotten” than a plea to be nice to Haynesworth.
If Schwartz had to publicly humiliate a problem player I hope he would do it in such a way that it didn’t make the other players think less of him as a coach.
The hammer has dropped...
and the dysfunctionality will cease.
Shannahan will not stand for drama queens and pussies.
I sort of agree ATL
On the one hand, I feel like Haynesworth needs to experience some kind of repercussions for what he’s done. On the other hand, it just seems like Shanahan is going about this all wrong. As a coach, how can you possibly think that a guy will want to play hard for you when you’re publicly humiliating him?
It’s a difficult situation, to be sure. I’m not sure how I would have handled the situation as coach.
Haynesworth humiliated himself...
by not being in good enough shape….
JEESH!!!
Like I said…. Shannahan gave Haynesworth an opportunity to prove himself… and he failed.
Was this ‘test’ planned before AH got there, or Are you guys insinuating that Shanny just kept adding one more gasser after AH finished 2?
Jeesh!
Really Shany does not stand for drama queens????
What was Shannon Sharpe? Bill Romanowski???? If the guy can play Shany will turn his head and cough, just like every other coach in the NFL.
How many lumps you want Doc?
He failed again....I love it
One player is above the rest of the team.
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
well, to be fair. He plays like a matador on alot plays...
its just Al being Al.
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
Shanahan is just saying
My dick is bigger than your dick.
its that simple.

WHAT?????????
Shannahan is the coach.
Seems to me he’s “COACHING”. Here’s a guy that, regardless of money, MISSED, CHOSE TO MISS, ALLLLL ALLLLL of the offseason programs, Mandatory or not….
and you think because Shannahan is requiring a bit more from this player… he’s having a dick measuring contest???
Fuck that.
Shannahan is being a coach. Haynesworth is paying for his choices. The rest of the players are witnessing their coach ignore the media and pin headed comments like yours, to make sure that EVERY player will sweat the same.
This ‘conditioning’ test is meant to be tough… its meant to replace ALL the offseason workouts that Haynesworth missed.
I’d be doing the same thing.
It's a team sport
Nobody is bigger than the team.

i take it from the ???????s that you think we have a different opinion
we dont… i think Al is a douche bag and shannahan is doing the right thing….. sorry if you misunderstood me lol
http://cmufootball.blogspot.com/
yea, i totally don't understand how you think we view things different...
we don’t i agree with everything you said CLF lol….
http://cmufootball.blogspot.com/
because he read your post
it essentially says that this is merely an issue of Shanahan seizing an opportunity to demonstrate his authority. this is not true.
He is doing both...
He is showing the whole team that he is in charge…
and he is holding Al accountable…
