Reports on ESPN are that Haynesworth failed.

She says if AH had just worked out with the team over the off-season, the test wouldn’t have been required

Whats with the conflicting reports whats the score here

2 say he killed it – jason reid and ESPN
3 say failed – Kelli, ESPN (De Ocho?) and Glazer

I really really hope they’re not trying to “put him in his place” for not being here if he is infact in great shape… That could really screw up the locker room,

Hahaha Comic gold

This really isn’t that big of a deal.

What else is going on in Camp?

the Redskins can charge him a fee for everytime he fails the test? Maybe that will motivate him to get it done.

I have no doubt that if he ran a marathon in 2 hours flat that Shannahan would have found something to fail him for. It’s got less to do with fitness and everything to do with power.

And to be honest I have no problem with it at all. He’s proven to be a huge ‘me’ guy and a distractor. Put him in his place and see if he’s willing to suck it up and play for the team. Because at the end of the day if he’s just coming in here for a paycheck and doesn’t play hard you’re better off putting someone less talented in there that wants to be on the field.

And if he gets his feelings hurt than good. He’s been bullying his way through the league for too long. Give him an inch and he takes a mile. So you take two inches from him and reestablish the boundaries.

Snyder expressed excitement when asked about the changes at FedEx Field, saying the video boards are “enormous” and “not only in HD but 3-D capable as well.” He said the team would soon introduce some features to enhance the tailgating experience at the stadium.

We get our cheerleaders in 3D now?!?!

Showed Shanahan pretty much down-playing AH’s failing test. Shanahan went out of his way to be upbeat, and said, unlike yesterday, that AH was definitely on the team. Also clarified that he would keep taking the test until he passed it, and the reason was to build up his cardiovascular strength – for his own good. The test was apparently two sprints, which AH passed, but took too long between runs (bathroom), so they made him take it again – a third run – and that one was too slow. But all in all, no big deal, no question about his playing or his state of mind. Some fans shouted encouragement to him, and he apparently smiled back. All friendly. Apparently most of the team was supportive (according to Dan and Lindsay), with any earlier negative comments forgotten.

Anybody see him out there? Would be a little disappointing If he’s not 100%. Only first day, of course, but they’ve been saying all along that he’d be OK by Training Camp.

(Pommylee) I’m all for AH and don’t think he should be punished, but I got the impression that Shanahan was not being vindictive. He did make him take the test but explained it as making sure AH was in condition to practice (cardiovascular, etc), since he had missed the OTAs. Also, that he expected him to pass it pretty soon (anywhere from one day to a week or two). Shouldn’t be hard because he basically passed it already. In short, a little jacking around to establish that he is the boss, but nothing too bad, and Albert seemed to understand. And Mike spoke positively throughout the interview. So I sort of think, from what I saw, that Shanahan is handling it right so far. As I mentioned before, Mike being a little tough might help Haslett become more of a friend, mentor and protector, much like AH’s coach in Tennessee. All this is based on snippets of information. By the way, Phillip Daniels did comment that it was a pretty hard test, especially in the heat. Phillip, a team leader who had been one of the more outspoken players, seemed “cool” (friendly) with Albert. Anyway, I feel fairly positive on events so far, but that’s just me – an optimist.

The Redskins.com Training Camp report says he is out on the field, ready to practice and that he is signed. No idea what the contract is though.

Rick Maese of the Washington Post reported that in to ESPN.

I wonder if failing the test means he’s out of shape? He may be OK on weight and strength, but not endurance, and even on that, he might be like all the other big linemen (Daniels did say it was a “tough test”). Shanny ought to let him play pretty soon, though – a little jacking around is OK, but he ought to use some common sense (after all, he cooked up the test and passing grade). Keeping him out of practice for chickensh*t stuff makes no sense. For one thing, he needs the practice to learn the system. It is irritating that Albert can’t do a couple of 100 yd sprints, if that is indeed what the test is.

it’s time to lay off.

You sign a contract for $100 million.
You take almost half of the value of a 7 year contract in the first 18 months.
You stay at home during training/teaching sessions of a new coach.
You embarrass the new coach and test his resoluteness.
Then you want to shape up, be a part of the team, and text coaches a few days before Training Camp?
No.
You will be punished. You will run…then run somemore…then run even more until you throw up.
Thanks for playing…
