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.

A 300 yard shuttle run sounds difficult.

I think I can tell you plenty, because it's as clear as day you don't know the first ****ing thing about being in a position of authority.

Albert Haynesworth: Knee cancels Haynesworth's third test
Albert Haynesworth - DL - WAS - Jul. 31 - 12:35 pm et
Updating a previous item, knee "irritation" kept Albert Haynesworth from attempting the Redskins' conditioning test for the third time Saturday. "The recommendation from the doctors was to not run," coach Mike Shanahan said. Haynesworth is expected to watch all of the afternoon "jog-through" for mental reps, and he's been participating in defensive meetings and learning the new scheme. There's not yet a timetable for his next conditioning test. Jul. 31 - 12:35 pm et Source: CSN Washington

Mike Golic, who's 47 years old, and 16 years removed from the NFL, just passed the same conditioning test Haynesworth is subject to on NFL Live.

How embarrassing is it that a 47 year old who hasn't trained for this can do it, but multi-million dollar athletes can't?

That's not fair OTW, Golic has been eating Dan Marino's performance enhancing TV Dinners.
