Haynesworth - I Was Almost a Buc


Dan T.

Recommended Posts

The Tampa Bay Bucs board summarized a Tampa area media conference call with Albert Haynesworth this week during which he said that the Bucs offered him more money than the Redskins, but that the Tampa Bay area was too tempting for him to sign there.

"Tampa was probably my first choice," Haynesworth said. "It was kind of a repeat of when I was coming out of college where (Georgia) was my first choice and I went to Tennessee. I like water, I like boats and I like sun. Coming to Tampa, there was a whole lot there. I have a whole offseason. If I went to Tampa, it would have been too much of a mix."

Interesting. I hadn't heard that the Bucs were in the mix for Big Al.

I thought this was pretty much common knowledge.

I also remember when he came here he expressed trepidation that Blache wouldn't let him play his style of football and would force him into a scheme, which is what appears has happened.

Mr Blache seems intent on forcing a square peg into his round hole. I'd like to see Danny insert his foot in there instead.

That doesnt make sense. A few months ago he said he chose washington because Tampa didnt have a good fan base like DC and he wanted to go somewhere where football was huge unlike TN. I dont think he knows what he wants. Im starting to think the "guy" London and Hall keep referencing is Albert when they say some guys think they have arrived but havent done anything for the redskins and somebody isnt staying in their gaps like London said.

I like how he says "it would have been to much of a mix". Shows how serious he is about becoming that next level player.

Some of you fans are so funny. Pretty much everybody was on board with bringing him in, regardless of prive and now want him to go after 3 freaking games.

What's not to like about this guy?

He drives like a maniac (edited: he wasn't drunk) last year and paralyzes some kid

He gets winded after ever third play and needs to sit out

He fakes injuries so he can get a golf cart ride to the locker room for some R&R

I mean, really, what's not to love? GREAT signing Danny Boy! Does he have your personal cell phone number too - is he another one of your well-paid "friends"? Loser

ON EDIT: I removed the deadbeat dad references. It's only an accusation after all. But I am still of the opinion that this is not a good guy - and yet another disastrous FA signing by our pinhead owner.

He's talented??!?!? He's big, and fat,.....that's about it.

I really don't like him,.....I mean,...REALLY don't like him.

Every offensive player in the league thinks he is one of, if not the best defensive tackles in the game, but you think he has no talent.:hysterical:

Sure -- you're right. He's talented. But really,....so what.

His attitude is for **** -- I don't like him. He will end up being one of the biggest FA signing busts in history.
