So Haynesworth showed up....

[Forty_Sixand2]

...for the first day of training camp "significantly more slender and with a great attitude"...

(a friend of mine who works the beat says he looks about 45 pounds down and actually somewhat cut)

Wow, didn't see that coming......

When he said that he had his own offseason training regimen and he would be back slender and ready to be a three technique tackle (aka a 3-4 end) I figured it meant he would come back looking like Terrence Cody and pissy.

This is a nice surprise. he has always had the quickness and if he puts his mind to tit, he could be a freak of a 3-4 DE. With him on one side and Orakpo rolling from the OLB spot o the other side....what do you do?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

If he comes back looking like this:

I will be thrilled and Brian Orakpo and Jeremy Jarmon should buy him all of the salmon and salad he wants.

This was published on the 14th
Report: Haynesworth has lost 32 pounds! DC Pro Sports Report
Glad to see he isn't being a cry baby about it and is try to adopt to it.

 

[iruletheskool]

i think he just didn't want to have to lose weight...

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I heard close to 45 at this point, and mostly around his cage, which would be nice.

A 3-4 front with Kemoeatu at NT and Carriker and Haynesworth at the end spots, with Orakpo and Jaromon at OLB and Fletcher and McIntosh at ILB spots would be pretty stout in theory.


There is NO DOUBT that he lost the weight so he would not have to play NT. he dieted his way out of a position, HA!

 

[iruletheskool]

shit, i forgot Carriker was there, how's he doing?

Dude is jacked, and a lunchpail guy who shows up, kicks ass and then heads to the gym, hunting and home.....

No complaints here....

 

[iruletheskool]

Hopefully he can live up to potential with some decent coaching..

I love him as a 3-4 end. He seems perfect for that. He has been on the same side as Orakpo, so if he can eat a block to release Orakpo, we could be talking about a hell of a season.

 

[iruletheskool]

hopefully Mcnabb's heart is in it

Randy Starks is a better 3-4 NT than haynesworth anyways.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

......and promptly failed his conditioning test.....ugh.....

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Lol maybe he just fasted and didn't actually work out?

 

[USCDoom]

......and promptly failed his conditioning test.....ugh.....

Losing weight is a bad thing if done quickly and not properly...

 

[nolehusker]

Apparently one of the test was to run 3 300 yard sprints (Heard this on the radio). What lineman needs to run 3 300 yard sprints?

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Dude I am in good shape and that would be rough in DC humidity for me and I am 211.

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

Guys like Haynesworthless are the reason my love for the Skins is slowly erroding to nothing. I can handle the losing (afterall I am a DC sports fan). I just can't tolerate the BS, and there has been alot of that since Danny took over. Hopefully MS can save this team, because while I may still be a fan win or lose, I desperately want my love for the team back.

Yeah, I've read many articles that said he was going to fail regardless because the conditioning test were setup to make sure he failed.

It is a dead sprint for more than half a mile....at 330 pounds....in DC summer.....

It's not even a quarter of a mile, but I do see your point. It's still a hell of a sprint especially to do 3 times. I wonder if the coach made anyone else do crap like this?
