Albert Haynesworth Rips Shanahan

[HammerDown]

...and what he said had teeth.


This is going to make waves.

He was on Nashville's 104.5 the Zone Wake up Zone.

104.5 The Zone

 

[HammerDown]

He was very gracious about the Titans and gave 100% of the credit for his absolute dominance in 2007/8 to coaches, especially Jim Washburn.

Something tells me if we're going to have a hate-off between Shanny and Haynesworth, Haynesworth is going to win hands down*.

*By win, I mean folks will hate Haynesworth more than Shanny.

 

[TxHeat]

who cares what lard-ass has to say?

I expected nothing but bile from him, but he was surprisingly credible and made a case that Shanahan selfishly wanted him to fail. I'd like to see a transcript of the interview.

I would say slight edge to Haynesworth.

When Dan Reeves (one of the nicest men in pro football) has to be bleeped out when asked about his relationship with Shanny...you have know he was an a--hole as well..

When Albert spoke, he always spoke well. At least I thought he did. But his play on the field in Washington kind of speaks for itself, no matter what Shanahan told him. He acted lazy and disinterested. It is quite possible that he was misused, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't try when on the field, and I think that's what most of us Redskins fans feel he did: not try.

Excellent post and well represents the feelings of most, if not all skins fans I believe. I totally agree.

And nice to see ya apache

Albert took the money and ran; we all know that. But he's basically accusing Shanahan of sabotaging him.

I get that, and I can see how he would think that. My personal belief in the Haynesworth vs. Shanahan situation is that Shanny asked Albert to do something he had never done and did not feel comfortable doing. That doesn't mean that Shanny was sabotaging him, just taking him out of his comfort zone. I can see Albert as taking that as "sabotaging" him. I would say "misused".

But, I can't completely dismiss the idea of Shanny sabotaging him, either, so maybe Haynesworth is right . Lord knows he's a passive-aggressive SOB.

By no means do I think Shanny is the good guy in most of these situations with the 'Skins. Just in this one case, he is the less-hated, that's all.

There is a big difference in doing something you dont feel comfortable doing, and flat out refusing to do it correctly because you didnt want to do it that way in the first place. Albert didnt want to be an NT. He surely didnt want to be a space eater. As such he played the position as one would expect of some one who didnt want to play the position.

Its trendy right now to blame Shanahan for all that went wrong in DC. Eventually the truth will come out, but I find it odd that with all the bash Mike talk out there, Mike and Kyle are the only ones who have stayed silent and avoided the whole thing.

To me, the idea of a head coach intentionally sabotaging one of his players is a total Logic Fail.

Coach sabotages players. Players as a result fail on the field. Team as a result loses games. Coach as a result gets fired.

Why would a coach intentionally do something that will eventually land him in the unemployment line?

Logic Fail.

So then you're not interested in the interview.

Fat Albert is right.

And Shanny wanted him to be that clog in the 3-4 so the LBs make the plays. Fat Albert wanted no part of the Nose Tackle position. And took the 30 million dollar bonus under false pretense.

The guy was a BUM!!

 

[HammerDown]

So this thread is about establishing that Albert Haynesworth is a bum, a fact that his own mother probably admits. Oh well...

 

[podsox]

albert is a fat pos. his dedication to the game was proven when he couldn't complete a simple cardio test that fricken mike golic did in his late 40s in non playoff shape

When she wasn't phoning Little Danny to complain Shanny was mean to her son.

Lol, not the reaction you were expecting? Believe me, I wish this kind of disfunction was so out of the ordinary with the Redskins that we were all shocked and dismayed. But we've lived this disfunction over and over. It's hardly a blip on the radar anymore.
