Report: Haynesworth Fails Test

Albert Haynesworth's first training camp under coach Mike Shanahan reportedly is off to a poor start.

The defensive tackle, who skipped all of the Washington Redskins' offseason workouts prior to camp because he was unhappy with the team's switch in defensive schemes, failed his conditioning test Thursday, FoxSports.com reported.

Haynesworth finished the first part of the test but walked through the second part, FoxSports.com reported, citing unnamed sources.

Shanahan told Haynesworth on Wednesday that he would have to pass a conditioning test in order to practice with his teammates.

"I'm expecting him to be in great shape," Shanahan said Wednesday. "And if he's not in great shape, then we're going to do what we need to do to get him in shape.

"Once he gets to that point, hopefully he'll fit into our system and do the things we want him to do. Because, if he does, he can be an excellent football player for us. If not, we're going to be very good anyhow."

Asked if he expected Haynesworth to be a part of the team in 2010, Shanahan would say only: "We'll see."

"All I can do is tell you we're going to give him every opportunity to show us what we can do," the coach said. "Hopefully he'll like the position that we play him in and give us everything that he's got."

The "position that we play him in" is the main point of consternation for Haynesworth. He's unhappy with the Redskins' switch to a 3-4 defense and would rather play for another team. Shanahan was ready to grant that wish in February and March -- but the door was shut once Haynesworth collected the $21 million bonus on April 1, part of the seven-year contract he signed a year earlier. The deal is part of the enduring legacy of a decade of bad offseason signings under owner Dan Snyder.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Making him re-do the conditioning drill is reeruned and transparent.

I get that people don't like Haynesworth. He's a piece of shit as a human being and largely appears to be a paycheck player. But when he does what everyone else is asked to do on the field and you continue to **** with him, you just undermine your own authority.

gonna have to file your entire argument under..........

cry me a fuckin river!

I take the company view and you take the employee's view here. Neither of us is going to convince the other of anything.

If you take the company view, and if you've been in charge of anyone, ever, you should know that if you require different things of different people in the same area it breeds discontent.

What was asked: @mortreport RT @StillSneezn: @mortreport can any 300 lb lineman Sprint 3- 300 yards? Can wilfork? >> It's not a sprint. 43 minutes ago

His response:

@mortreport I have heard of far more demanding conditioning tests than what Shanahan asked of Haynesworth. 30 minutes ago

Problem is we don't have all the facts. How quickly was he supposed to do the 300 yard sprints? If it was something like 2 within 30 minutes and he did 2 within an hour - he didn't pass the test.

Also, if you read the entire story, most of the players didn't have to do the conditioning tests because they were present for a certain percentage of the off season workouts.

I'm pretty sure they wanted him to play nose.

But yeah, I agree with you that that was a reerun move by Shanny to make him run a 3rd sprint.

KCBOSS1 · 07-29-2010, 08:29 PM

This is simply "running the bleachers" NFL style. This is Shanahan taking ownership of this team. Shanahan's like "He's going to do this until he's conditioned to do it. It may be tomorrow or a few days or a week....." What, you can't get conditioned in a day or two or a week. But you can get punished for a day or two or a week depending on how well you suck up and scream "I Love the 3-4!" from the treadmill.
