"Albert Haynesworth may be a member of the Washington Redskins, but a part of him never left the Tennessee Titans. "I will always be a Titan at heart,'' Haynesworth said by phone Wednesday night. "I can't deny that.''

After seven seasons with the Titans, the former University of Tennessee star signed a reported $100 million contract with the Redskins in 2009. He has failed to regain the All-Pro form he had with the Titans, however, and he has clashed with new Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan. The Redskins considered trading him to the Titans earlier this season, but Haynesworth stopped short of saying he wished it had happened.

"I didn't want to add any fuel to the fire,'' said the ninth-year defensive tackle, who returns to Nashville on Sunday when the Redskins play the Titans. Still, Haynesworth said he misses his "brothers" from his time with the Titans as well as defensive line coach Jim Washburn. "Coach Washburn helped me become the player I am. He instilled it in me,'' he said. "So you appreciate it. So I will never turn my back on that organization or anything like that.

"Now I'm not going to say everything was always smooth there. It wasn't. But what is ever smooth? Overall, though, it was great time in my life. Nashville is a second home. My kids still live there and if they are not cheering for daddy, they are looking at a Titans game.''"

....it's funny, he was almost winning me back before Monday night. Whatever his reasons are, :finger:

You know what? I think we're going to see a Randy Moss type reaction with Albert Sunday, where he gives a ton a praise to the Titans and talks about how much he misses those guys lol. Uggh..

I'm afraid of that too, but I'm hoping (and it is a long shot) that he plays his *** off trying to show them what they are missing.

hehehe, then maybe we can trade him back to TEN next season.

I know there was a time Fisher wanted him back, if there is a way we could get him cheaper I could see him back in Tennessee next season. IMHO I believe that would be best for him to, he respect Fisher and Jim Washburn is one of the best D line coaches in all of football he'll get Big Al back....

IDK what it would take to get him though, maybe a 3rd and pick up some of the Money thats owed to him, IDK????

The more he runs his mouth and under performs, the more the point will be driven home to Dan Snyder that he has no business making football decisions. (Vinny's gone, thank god, so now it's just Dan left from that time) It's just a matter of time before Haynesworth is gone, and then we can move on with a player who wants to be here. Haynesworth has become the ugly footnote to everything that has happened during Snyder's tenure until Bruce Allen was hired.
