Bill Belicheck has said that Albert Haynesworth isn't ready to practice for the New England Patriots, i.e., he has failed his conditioning test for the Patriots, even though he passed the physical. Once a lazy player, always a lazy player. Any player who cares about his performance puts in the effort to arrive ready to go.

Bruce Allen says it was a coincidence that Albert Haynesworth’s four-game suspension came with four games left in the season. Allen said he was the one who informed owner Dan Snyder that Haynesworth was being suspended, but only after the decision had been made.

"I don't think I've ever had a player just tell me he didn't want to play "Okie" defense [the base 3-4] and then later say he didn't want to play nickel versus the run, 'Just play me on third downs,'" Haslett said. "No, I've never had that before. And we tried to accommodate him. It's a shame because he's athletic enough. He can do almost anything he wants. Obviously, he didn't want to do it. Good athletes can do a lot of different things. Basketball players -- guards can play forwards, they can play different positions. I watch throughout the league, I see wide receivers do the 'Wildcat.' I think to myself, 'If you're a good enough athlete, you can do almost anything you want. You've just got to want to do it.'"

More bad news.

Does anyone else think we should try Big Al at DE ??
