Albert Haynesworth & the Eagles...Could it work?



An intriguing footnote to the Eagles' hiring of defensive line coach Jim Washburn is his strong relationship with Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who desperately wants out of Washington. Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, told the Daily News that he couldn't comment because Haynesworth is the property of the Redskins, who have not indicated they intend to trade or release him. But there are strong indications Haynesworth, a two-time Pro Bowl player for the Titans but a laughingstock in Washington, would like to play for Washburn in Philadelphia. Haynesworth signed a huge contract with the Redskins after two All-Pro seasons under Washburn. "I owe Coach Wash pretty much everything. If my deal was $100 million or whatever, then Washburn deserves $90 million,'' Haynesworth told the Tennessean. "I have the talent, but he taught me how to let it loose. As a player, once you can get through the (colorful language), get down to the core of what he is saying, the information is more valuable than gold. He's a great coach, a great teacher. The Titans should have paid a lot of money to keep him from leaving.''

Well holy shit, I didn't anticipate reading this when I got up this morning. I feel like the video up top says it all about this clown, he got his money and then he took a nap for a year or two like the lazy motherfucker he is. I mean if there was a stat that showed value of players, like how much they made and then the impact they had on a season, Haynesworth had to have set the all-time low score, just failing fucking fitness tests and sitting out games with headaches and shit. Then you start thinking, what if Andy Reid gets a hold of him, could he handle him better than Shanahan? Is this Washburn guy a key to a productive Haynesworth? Could playing on a playoff team inspire the guy to actually give a fucking shit? Dare I say we could have something here...
