Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth: Coaches all against me - ESPN
The $100 million man is unhappy with playing in the league's 9th ranked defense.
And yes, I know this belongs in the NFL forum, but that place is deader than Michael Jackson. The mods can move it if they want and the thread police can refrain from commenting.
Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has lashed out at his team's defensive game-planning and the coordinator who oversees it.
Not long after Jim Zorn sent him home Friday for what the coach said were disciplinary reasons, Haynesworth told The Washington Post that he couldn't "survive another season in this system if it stays the way it is."
Haynesworth, who signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with Washington during the offseason, with $41 million in guaranteed money, pinned the blame firmly on defensive coordinator Greg Blache.
"If they keep this system the way it is, then they would label Albert Haynesworth a bust who didn't live up to the contract," Haynesworth told the newspaper in a telephone interview. "Everybody would say he just took the money and ran off. And I'm still playing as hard as I possibly can. But you can only do so much within the system that's put around you.
"And I'm not talking about the players," Haynesworth said. "The players have been great. I couldn't ask for any better guys. I'm talking about the system. And [the coaches] can say whatever they want about that [the reason he was sent home Friday]. The main thing it's coming from is what I said after the game about leadership and about the team."
