Haynesworth fails conditioning test

[windjc]

So Shanahan won't let him practice with the team until he can.

Plot thickens.

Of course none of this is nearly as controversial or negative as Padgate.

That's weird, I just heard 15 minutes ago on ESPN that he "did very well" in his conditioning test.

Why is this seemingly simple question so hard to answer? Did he, or didn't he? Shouldn't the Commanders be required to answer honestly?

Maybe because he passed the first part of it and failed the second.

Twenty-one million dollars of Dan Snyder's money and he can't show up in shape. When you think of how irresponsible that is for one of today's athlete's.......................it makes it that much more hilarious that he's on the Commanders.

LOL. What a pathetic franchise. Oh I bet ES is steaming.

No big deal according to Marshall Faulk...

LOL at the Commanders...

From what I understand from local radio, his test involved two 300 yard shuttle runs. He ran the first fine. After that reports kind of go all over the place. It's either (A) He got winded and had to walk the 2nd shuttle or (B) He needed to use the bathroom during the 2nd run, and after returning, was made to run the whole drill from scratch. Either way, pretty hilarious.

Well, as Marshall Faulk has so eloquently pointed out, none of this is a distraction because for Haynesworth its not all about the $$$, it more about the HOF and where he needs to play to have that legacy. And if Shanahan can't respect that then he needs to understand that Haynesworth can a will fake an injury not to play.

All this is NOT a distraction and totally normal and healthy.

This can't get better, this is so great to hear.

I'm so glad Haynesworth decided to sign with the skins

Albert Haynesworth performed well Thursday on the first part of his conditioning test but failed to complete the two-part process and did not pass, according to people familiar with the situation.

Haynesworth did so well in the first phase that one team source said he "killed it." But Haynesworth apparently needed a lavatory break midway through the second part and was unable to complete the test after returning and starting from the beginning.

On Wednesday, Coach Mike Shanahan said Haynesworth would not be permitted to participate in training camp practices until he passed the test. The Commanders are scheduled to take the field for the first practice of camp in about two hours at Commanders Park. Shanahan plans to address the situation after practice, but Haynesworth is not expected to comment until he passes the test.

So now what?

Well, Haynesworth, who skipped all but one day of Shanahan's first offseason program, must work with the training staff until he is able to complete the test. Several players said Haynesworth clearly is in much better shape than he was at this time last season.

Apparently two 300 yard shuttle runs was the conditioning test. I'll go out on a limb and say that he was set up to fail that. 300 lbs man doing that in the heat we had today is insane

what a joke

dude, save the excuse making for your board. We see the truth.

lavatory break = puking his guts out

 

[chicago JK]

supposedly after his bathroom break he was 12 pounds lighter.

 

[rynochop]

Wasnt part of his excuse for missing OTA's was that he was home working out and knew what it took to be ready? Too funny.

I'm thinking, going to the bathroom = winded

What I'd expect after a 300 lbs guy ran that.

I am surprised he could walk off the field. Shanny isn't going to make the next few weeks fun for him. We'll see how long he lasts

Those vindictive bastids!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Wait...you mean he's actually showed up in shape at some point in his career? That would be news to me, if he showed up in shape. The fact that he didn't isn't news cause it's not anything new.

The guy is a lazy dude. It's not shocking at all that he's, as usual, out of shape.

 

[rynochop]

So is he fined or something if he cant practice due to failing this?

And yeah, TWO 300 yard shuttle runs?? Thats insane.
