Comments on: Redskins drop asking price for Albert Haynesworth

This reminds me of Rod Marinelli at Detroit. Rod came in with the “my way or the highway” attitude. The Lions got off to a 6-2 start his second year. Then shaun Rogers got hurt and the Lions won only one more game. The next year Rod gets rid of Shaun and they lose every game.
Gruden did the same thing in Tampa. His ego was too big and he ran players out of town and in the process he ran a super bowl team into the ground.
This style of coaching simply does not work. If Shanahan cared about the program instead of his own ego, he would get Haynesworth playing at a high level. This is a bad sign for skins fans.

@skinsblow1 aka boysroll Cowboys are 1-4 last i checked and still have to play Gmen(twice) Phily(twice) GB NO and Indy. Maybe save the smack talk for next year.

I love the rumor of Slaton and a 4th rounder for AH. Skins need depth at RB. Hope it comes true.

Says who? What source are you talking about here, JLC? We hate that punk here in DC. He is full of crapola.

He won’t be around long if he continues to miss offseason workouts. I’m sure that Shanahan won’t stand for that.

Don’t listen to anything JLC has to say about the Skins.
He’s out just to stir things up. We’ve heard trade rumors from him before about the Skins and he’s NEVER been correct.

BB will NEVER trade for Albert’s bad attitude.
Who is Albert to tell BB where and when he’ll play?

Bayou,
I have watched every Bucs game for the last 4 years(gotta love NFL sunday ticket) and went to 3 of their games. So, no espn highlights is not where I get my info. Not sure what info I presented that offended you enough to want to comment on my comment. The Bucs have allowed exactly 562 rushing yards in the last 3 games. So I was correct in the 500-600 yds rushing comment. So that cant be it. To speak about the Bucs eating a contract….Yes, they can eat Haynesworths contract….they have the lowest payroll in the league and they pocket the leftover money that they dont spend on contracts…NFL shared revenue. The money teams spend on their payrolls are not based upon game attendence and concession/parking money. So you are sadly mistaken if this is what you are hinting at by saying the Bucs dont have the money. They do…they are just being a little too conservative with it in mine and many Bucs fans opinions. Go back to sleep.

Houston and Tennessee or Philly seem like the logical fits !
If i am Houston, i offer a 4th this year and steve slaton and get it done. the skins are thin at RB

why would the panthers trade stewart ? williams is a free agent next year, and i doubt he is gonna be staying in Carolina after this season .

New England should give Washington a 3rd round pick. NE has always brought in bad guys and made them conform to what they do or the Philadelphia Eagles should give a 3rd round pick and fill Bunkley’s spot. Andy is into giving 2nd tries. Haynesworth deserves a mulligan in Washington. He is under utilized. Just let him play

Stinkyfinger, please don’t speak for Seattle like that. The Seahawks don’t need his presence on the field and especially off it. We just cut our last cancer, Housh, why add another?

LandlockedBucsFan,
Have you been going to the games or watching espn for highlights to get your info. You can’t possibly have seen them on television. Bucs don’t make enough to eat that contract.

We will see. Jason La Canfora is the genius that said a draft day trade was imminent. As one of his final acts as beat writer for the Washington Post he said that the Redskins would not try to sign Haynesworth as a free agent because they didn’t have the cap room.

Play the guy already ,he’s 10x better than anyother D-Lineman on that Redskin Roster, ,Maybe he can help the D that’s giving up the most yards in the NFL to this point ,you’ve already paid him 32 mill. try and get something out of that,with his play, instead of taking a beating getting a 4th or 5th round pick

The Bucs could make a huge splash and vastly improve their playoff chances by making a trade or two. The D-line is in complete shambles….Price, Mccoy, Sims and Miller have been exposed the last few weeks between 500-600 yards in rushing and getting absolutely ZERO pass rush. I dont care about the baggage haynesworth has…or his huge contract…or how he doesnt fit into the youth movement and isnt a locker room guy. Young locker room guys dont clog the middle and shut down the run. There is nothing…and I mean NOTHING worse than seeing a team average a first down qain everytime they hand it off…I would rather see 9 guys in the box and have Brees throw for 500 yds. Stop the run. Haynesworth would take this line from being near the bottom to being middle of the pack…which sounds perfect to me. The other splash would be to go out and get a decent RB….Carolina wont trade Stewart…especially to the hated Bucs…but there are plenty of other names out there that would work…Marion Barber…Laurence Maroney….Steve Slaton…anyone of these will do…..give Freeman a chance to compete. Its extremely hard without a running game and always playing from behind.

I noticed several comments from Eagle’s fans saying that the Eagles should trade for Haynesworth. Honestly, what makes you think that the Redskins would deal him to the Eagles. Shanahan doesn’t seem like the type of guy who trades Fat Al in division. I know Philly traded McNabb to Washington but I don’t see Shanahan reciprocating…he’s too much of a “don’t want to give you a competitive advantage” guy for that…
FWIW, I think it’s really highly speculative that the Redskins deal HW today. Despite what the headline says, the Redskins have not announced that the asking price has been dropped. That’s just complete speculation, which is fanning the hopes of fans of teams that they could get HW for a 7th rounder. Newsflash: Vinnie Cerrato no longer works for the Redskins.

Hey Stinkyfinger, do you pay any attention to stats?
Seattle is ranked something like 4th in run defense…..it is one of the few areas they don’t need any help in!
The Skins made their own bed and now have to sleep it in. Everyone knew AH was a head case and that there would be signficant risk in signing him to a $100M FA contract….one of these days DS is going to learn to build through the draft!

—————————————————-
Isn’t what started this whole mess, the fact that Hanyesworth doesn’t want to play in a 3-4 defense. If I am not mistaken don’t the Patsies play a 3-4 defense. I am thinking that a Mankins for Haynesworth swap just isn’t going to happen.

titans don’t exactly need him, but that’s not to say he wouldn’t be a big boost to an already great line. jason jones is playing as well as haynesworth did a couple seasons back, and im sure washburn could get haynesworth producing again with him back in a 4-3 scheme. i think you’d have to almost play an extra lineman so that you could stop that interior of the line. the last thing i’d want is to have him end up on the texans or something, so someone pull the trigger: titans or nfc team. do it.

To bad we can’t draw pictures for comments. My art work would show Shanahan trying to plunge Haynesworth down the toilet into a 3rd round draft pick septic tank.

@Titlesong – how many super bowl appearances and playoff wins does Elway have w/out Shanahan? And Shanahan w/out Elway? Yep, exactly.
@skinsblow1 – Shanahan is not inept but he is nothing special is my point. He has been fired as a head coach twice and has no post season accomplishments in either gig without Elway.
I’m sure Shanhan will improve the regular season record of the Skins, but anything more than that is false hope.
