Albert Haynesworth

Another week goes by and, especially in the first half, the Redskins still look like a minor-league version of an NFL team. They are slower, less disciplined, less passionate, less intelligent, and less functional than any other team in the league, including the Raiders and Browns. For what seems to be the 10th or 11th game in a row, the Washington Redskins came out of the gate in first gear while their opponents were in 4th or 5th. The defense, the strong suit of the team, allowed an opening touchdown drive, including 2 offsides penalties on 4th down that allowed the Falcons to go for the touchdown versus getting the gimme field goal that they were lined up for. The Falcons lined up on 4th & 1 with no intention of every snapping the ball, something that was apparent to everyone in the stadium and at home, but apparently not to Haynesworth and his teammates. That play summarized the entire season, game over!

Yesterday the Washington Redskins were a half away from losing to 2 of the worst teams in the NFL in back-to-back weeks, only an inspired defensive game and a few timely plays prevented them from going to 1-3 and most likely ending Jim Zorn's reign in Washington. The good news was that they finally opened up the offense a bit and went downfield in the second half, the first resulting in a touchdown to Moss and the second was a forced passed by Campbell who seemed intent on making Talib look like Champ Bailey as he hauled in his 3rd, a very poorly-thrown ball, interception. Even though he did not look good at all and seemed to be the same Campbell we are used to seeing, he did come through in the 3rd quarter and helped turnaround the game for the squeaker, but none-the-less, a win.

skins.  According to the Titans, the Redskins moved too quickly after free agency started with Albert Haynesworth, and they are suspicious.  According to sources, the Redskins contacted Haynesworth before free agency began on Feb. 27th.  What does this mean you ask?  If the Redskins are found guilty of tampering, they will have to surrender draft picks.  Thats the penalty for what the Skin have most likely done in the past, and this time got caught doing.  More draft picks being flushed down the toilet.

Rogers had more drops than Braylon Edwards (not really, just making a point).

    Albert Haynesworth was the biggest guy in free agency, size and name wise.  He was the best defensive player in the league, or so i've been told.  Fact, he has never completed a full season in his entire career!  Never!  How do you give 100 million bucks (which turns into 115 with incentives), to a guy who has anger problems, and gets injured every year.  Thats like signing a 34 year old quarterback who's past his prime, and had season-ending shoulder injury for 35 million.  It doesn't make any sense to me. (For those of you that didn't get that, just think Mark Bru..........).  Yes, Alberto can close the pocket fast, take 2 guys to defend, and get to the quarterback.  But he's paid now, he's not in a "contract year."  How is he gonna perform when he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone?  He'll get injured or suspended and it'll be more "dead" cap space for ole Danny Boy.

oaches make mistakes.

Ironically on the 4th and 3 play, Titans star defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was injured when his left leg was caught under the pile. A few of the Titans players said the Texans acted a little harsh during Haynesworth's injury. Why is this ironic? Because Haynesworth was the same player that had 'suspicious' hits against Texans quarterback Matt Schaub before last season in the same stadium! (Reliant Stadium). Official diagnosis of Haynesworth's injury has not been released, but the replay was not too pretty. Titans will need him by their first playoff game!
