Per Jason Reid (twitter) Haynesworth "Killed it"

JReidPost: hearing that Albert Haynesworth "killed it" during his conditioning test, according to one team source. Still waiting for official word.

do u mean he killed a big mac in record time during his conditioning test?

lol tweeter is pretty lame

[joe]

on the radio, they said that Jay Glazer is reporting that Albert failed the test.

Naw, he made a mistake and laid on a pigeon ( and killed it ) once he passed out after he took the conditioning test.

I trust glazer, doesn't sound good.

Me too but Glazer isnt there I would think Reid would be. Man I hope Reid is correct!!

[rick7423]

Uhm... What exactly is entailed with a conditioning test? I have heard of them but donot know of any details about what they actually are.

[Brandon Lloyd Christmas]

maybe "killed it" meant he killed any chance he had at wowing people about being in great shape?

[gortiz]

seriously ya'll ...

the "killed it" jokes got to stop

[Zzj]

Wow. How does a guy lose 40 pounds in the offseason and still fail a conditioning test?

[brianm23]

One of these two reporters just failed. Hard.


Not unless the other reporter was reporting just the first part he passed.

It really is football season. **** YEAH!

From Jay Glazer:

[frommd]

Maybe he "killed" whoever was administering the test when he collapsed on him during the second part?

[a778999]

Most likely he killed the first part, then failed the second.

[Painkiller]

Maybe he "killed" whoever was administering the test when he collapsed on him during the second part?

thanks for making me spew my drink :ols:

[Maximus71]

Talk about going from the high of all highs to the low of all low's... wtf how can this happen if true? He fails his test? He lost 40 pounds, he comes in positive full of hope and now this!

[Redskinzfan30]

Hopefully JReid is right. If not this doesn't sound good for the Skins.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I'm surprised...I assumed that losing the weight would have helped him. Oh well, more drama if this is true.

[DMVSkins]

When someone make a reference to "killed it" it usually means they exceeded expectations don't see any reason as to why this would be any different in Haynesworth case, but what do I know I sit at a desk all day and complain when the escalators and elevators are down for maintenance.

[Blue Collar Skins]

seriously ya'll ...

the "killed it" jokes got to stop

Yes! Kill the "killed it" jokes people! :silly:

[harlequin115]

Wow. I heard he looked in good shape. This is DEPRESSING, if true.

[redskins55]

Has it really come to this? Are we really seriously monitoring this guy's results?? LOL And Marshal Faulk saifd this wouldnt be a distraction.. Pahleez its a circus!

[Chachie]

In all fairness to Albert Haynesworth, he is a lazy turd. :point2sky

[TD_washingtonredskins]

I guess we'll just need to wait for an official report from someone. I'm sure, no matter what, he'll be out there practicing in the next couple days.

[BigMike21]

I'm excited now! Less than 24 hours to practice! Haynesworth treated Shanahan's conditioning test like a cheeseburger!

[HOF44]

If I were him I'd want my money back form that trainer if I failed. Stay away form the Park all this time to train your way and then fail??? WTF

[brianm23]

Wondering if these guys showed up after he couldn't get the 2nd part down?

[Horton_Predator48]

Losing weight and being in shape are two different things.

Losing weight and being in shape are two different things.

I highly doubt he lost the weight by dieting alone, he was working with his trainer and I am sure most of his weight loss it due to being active and training.

[stwasm]

Said it before, and I'll say it again. I didn't want them to sign the bum in the first place. You reap what you sow! :beatdeadhorse:

[Blue Collar Skins]

Reid said he is still waiting official report!! Just typical get our hopes up and then destroy them

That makes no sense! If he "killed it" according to Reid, then he should have passed with flying colors and shouldn't need the official results! That's like going home after taking a test, telling everyone you killed it, then receiving an F. WTF?!

[terrifNick21]

Can someone set us straight?! Did he pass or not?

Past the 1st part, failed the second part.

[HapHaszard]

Sounds like Albert's special live in trainer didn't do very good for him.

[santana_4_prez]

Shanny could have made it un-passable just to mess with the dude...put him in his place.

[jnhay]

Is it standard practice to have two part conditioning test?

From what they explained on the Riggins show. The test consists of running 25 yards, resting 70 seconds and repeating for 3 total rounds. Sounds super easy to me, so I'm thinking there has to be more to it.

[stwasm]

Here's PFT's take:

[MassSkinsFan]

I guess we can assume the 2nd part didn't involve a pie-eating contest.

[Blue Collar Skins]

Past the 1st part, failed the second part. What did the first and second parts entail? Is the first part just showing up? :(

[Hooper]

Classic. Maybe Reid should stick to writing Jason Campbell puff pieces. I mean it's been almost 48 hours since his last one.

That does sound really easy and I hope if he failed, it was for something much harder and complex :mad:

[Coach Janky Spanky]

Just heard on Sports Fix on 980 ESPN that according to Jay Glazer, Haynesworth passed the first part of the test but failed the second, and therefore will NOT be practicing with the team today.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Reid is becoming as unreliable as the ground he walks on.

[authentic]

We're told that there's a sense in the Haynesworth camp that coach Mike Shanahan would find a way to fail Haynesworth, regardless of how he performs.

after second thought, it would make sense to humble him.

[SIXX99]

Shanny could have made it un-passable just to mess with the dude...put him in his place.

I had the same thought. That seems like a hard ass Shanahan thing to do.

[squrl320]

We will find out for sure soon enough...

[THEREALTOR1]

What did the first and second parts entail? Is the first part just showing up? :(

It's like the SAT's, you get something like 400 points just for getting your name right :D

[Bliz]

Overrated. We don't even know what's involved in the test. Usually, it's a series of runs. When his job involves sprinting 50 yards let me know.

That fat*** Cody failed a conditioning test with the Ravens, then passed the next day. Expect the same from Haynesworth.

Good Point!! you can say a 2 part conditioning test was Killed if you fail the second part!! All this makes no sense

[WALEOVECHKIN]

Glazer's article on foxsports.com

Haynesworth did not make it through his conditioning test Wednesday at Redskins Park, sources told FOXSports.com.

The disgruntled star defensive tackle finished the first part of the test, but walked through the second portion. Now Mike Shanahan has to make a decision on whether or not to let him practice and if so, how much.

It’s believed that Haynesworth will not be allowed to practice with the rest of his teammates in team drills.

Sources said Tuesday that if he passed the conditioning test, he would be cleared to practice with the team. But by failing, head coach Mike Shanahan may hold him out for an undetermined length of time until Haynesworth improves.

On Tuesday, Haynesworth met with Shanahan, defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and other coaches. Haynesworth proclaimed that he’s been working out this offseason, insisting he’s in good enough shape to start camp when official workouts begin Wednesday.

Haynesworth’s return follows a messy offseason. Despite collecting a $21 million option on April 1, Haynesworth boycotted voluntary OTA workouts with the team in protest of being forced to switch roles in the Redskins’ new 3-4 defensive alignment – one that will force the ‘Skins DT to hold up multiple blockers instead of being freed to rush opposing quarterbacks.

The Redskins actually entertained several trade offers before the draft but found no takers due to attitude questions as well as Haynesworth’s massive contract.

[jdskins44]

I mean cant say it was killed

That was the Baltimore test that Terrence Cody kept failing (he eventually passed). I'm sure it varies from team-to-team.

*Also, as far as the conditioning test....he (Haynesworth) has to pass in the designated time for those on the D-Line...required times to finish vary by position.

[DMVSkins]

Shanny could have made it un-passable just to mess with the dude...put him in his place.

I was thinking the same thing if this even true to begin with I can't see them giving a RB or DB the same conditioning test for a DL, but maybe Shanahan gave Haynesworth a DB conditioning test to mess with him but ONCE AGAIN thats even if this is true to begin with...

[illone]

No need to panic just yet.

The test could have been geared to pay Albert back for not showing up and demanding a trade.

[authentic]

Overrated. We don't even know what's involved in the test. Usually, it's a series of runs. When his job involves sprinting 50 yards let me know.

That fat*** Cody failed a conditioning test with the Ravens, then passed the next day. Expect the same from Haynesworth.

The difference is that, this was supposed to be the whole point of Fat Al working out on his own, so he could be in tiptop condition. He refered to last year's conditioning program as to why he wasn't in shape.

[THEREALTOR1]

Jay Glazer doesn't even know what day it is.

[sjinhan]

guys on the radio was spectulating even before Haynesworth took the test felt that Shanny will fail him by making him take an unrealistic test to just send a message.

[SIXX99]

The fact that bigger media like Schefter aren't saying anything yet makes me think its not worth reading too much into yet.

[brianm23]

Is it standard practice to have two part conditioning test?


If it's anything like the Raven's conditioning test, it goes like this.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp10/news/story?id=5417168



Cody, a 350-pounder out of Alabama, twice failed the test Tuesday. The drill consists of running 25 yards, doubling back, resting for 70 seconds and repeating it twice.


"It's down and back, down and back, down and back. It's not complicated [but] it's a tough test," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "You've got to go out there and compete."


Run to 25, touch line and run back (*in 35 seconds)
Rest 70 seconds.
Run to 25, touch line and run back (*in 35 seconds)
Rest 70 seconds.
Run to 25, touch line and run back (*in 35 seconds)


I can do that. That's pathetic that guys in the NFL can't do this ****.


edit: i'm going on a limb and say that Albert probably "killed" this portion of the test, but flunked another portion?

[sempre_victrix]

The official results will be interesting.

Fred Smoot was never able to pass the DB conditioning test, which was some sort of shuttle run. Sounded hard, if I remember correctly, but he was allowed to practice.

Washington Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth was not able to pass his conditioning test Thursday, July 29, sources told FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer.

That's exactly what PFT reported in seriousness.

[thecardiacrll]

I had a feeling this could happen. In my head i was thinking theres no way the redskins let it out if he failed because it would just be even more of a media circus so my prediction he did fail but the redskins are gonna say he passed and take care of it behind closed doors.

[illone]

Sounds like they had him running some gassers, which is not easy by any stretch.

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

If it's anything like the Raven's conditioning test, it goes like this.

You have got to be kidding me. These guys make millions and some cannot even do that? Hell, I'll make it quicker for everyone and run to the 25 and back 3 times and not waste time "resting". Geez...

[GoSkins561]

Put him on the practice squad and leave him there until his contract expires.

[TK]

Reid is becoming as unreliable as the ground he walks on.
Is?

[LetThePointsSoar]

Reid = worthless. Haynesworth = more worthless. We don't need this negative bum.

P.S. If Shanny really DID make the test unpassable, and THAT'S the real story, I like him that much more. It's HIS team, not some $100M sissy fat ****.

[Bliz]

The difference is that, this was supposed to be the whole point of Fat Al working out on his own, so he could be in tiptop condition. He refered to last year's conditioning program as to why he wasn't in shape.

Tiptop condition for Fat Al is power, flexibility, agility and endurance. Not foot speed (though obviously endurance can play a role in that).

[sjinhan]

If it's anything like the Raven's conditioning test, it goes like this.

Losing weight and being in shape are two different things.

Actually, it's 35 seconds they have to run and touch the 25 and sprint back.



It consists of running 25 yards, up and back, up and back, up and back, in 35 total seconds. Then, there's a 70-second rest period between intervals. It's repeated six times and the target time remains the same for each run.

[sjinhan]

Don't you first need to be in good condition in order to be in "game shape"? I'm not sure how you can seperate the two.

yeah but conditioning to play the DL position and different than if the conditioning tests were based on him running series of wind sprints of some 25, 50, 75 yard distances.

Actually, it's 35 seconds they have to run and touch the 25 and sprint back.

ok lets say its 35 secs.. its still not a walk in the park...

[sens11]

If he was purposely failed to send a message, so be it..
But if he is truly in better shape, lost weight, etc...Don't we want him in camp and practicing? Aren't we a better team with him? (Just playing devils advocate)


The saga of Fat Albert continues...What next? UUGGHHHH!!!

[arkowi]

Non news. Shanahan is laying down the law.
This is about as newsworthy as his starting camp on the 2nd team.

I have to agree with Bang. I could see Shanahan setting him up to fail this test.

When he passed the first one, he was like "oh we have another double secret second test now".

It means just that - he walked - was not able to do anything more than just walk. What is walking? OK get up off the seat your in - and go into another room....were you jogging? were you running? were you sprinting? NO? What were you doing then? That's what they mean

[LetThePointsSoar]

So does anybody know the real meaning behind he "walked" through the second test? Because there is a HUGE difference between him sucking wind so bad he had to walk through it, and him acting like a 5 year old pouting because his G.I. Joe got grounded for a week and walking through it when he COULD pass it.

as much of a D-bag as hes supposed to be as a person, youre probably right.

[bobzmuda]

I'm betting Haynesworth did well on the test, but Shannahan made sure he wasn't going to pass it.

Maybe something like he had to do the same entire conditiong test back to back: one for the mandatory minicamp he missed earlier, and the one for training camp today. Albert passed the first, but was too winded to do it again. That would seem to reconcile Glazer's report and the beat reporters' reports.

RT @MacGregorESPN (https://twitter.com/MacGregorESPN): Albert Haynesworth's Body Mass Index is "DefCon 1, Attack Imminent."



Not sure what it means ??????????

basically means ... The fieldmouse is fast, but the owl sees at night.

[THEREALTOR1]

If he actually passed (according to Russell) then thats huge fail on the part of ESPN, FoxSports, etc...:ols:

[MassSkinsFan]

If he was purposely failed to send a message, so be it..
But if he is truly in better shape, lost weight, etc...Don't we want him in camp and practicing? Aren't we a better team with him? (Just playing devils advocate)


The saga of Fat Albert continues...What next? UUGGHHHH!!!

If he did fail, I bet they ask him to take it again.
If he declines, we know he's not motivated, and his ass sits out practice.
If he does it again and passes, no problem.
If he does it again and fails, loop to the top of the "ifs" list.

[jnhay]

Reid is becoming as unreliable as the ground he walks on.

Don't ask for immediate information unless you're willing to accept that some of it will end up wrong or misleading.

[The Tris]

Non news. Shanahan is laying down the law.
This is about as newsworthy as his starting camp on the 2nd team.

~Bang

The way I feel.

But I guess you can scream and jump up and down or (my favorite) hop on the "told you so" high horse if that makes you feel better.

He is what he is. I don't mind Shanahan cracking the whip here. No need to have an aneurysm over it.

At the end of the day, we got an out of shape Haynesworth last year, and will probably only have a marginally less out of shape Haynesworth this year. He's not an All Pro and not ever going to be worth the money, but thats water under the bridge. Continuing to harp about it won't change a damn thing.

I will say an out of shape Haynesworth is still better than some of the in-shape DL we have, so at the end of the day, I'd rather see him on the field than riding the bench.

[Maximus71]

It means just that - he walked - was not able to do anything more than just walk. What is walking? OK get up off the seat your in - and go into another room....were you jogging? were you running? were you sprinting? NO? What were you doing then? That's what they mean

Thank you, can you explain to me what how to sit? I understand what walking means dude, what I meant is wtf was he thinking to walk through a drill when he knew they were going to test his conditioning. Either something is really wrong with these reports or AH is effing with the team.

[authentic]

So does anybody know the real meaning behind he "walked" through the second test?

Since he "killed" the first part of the test, he decided to walk through the field on his way to the closest McDonalds.

[Maximus71]

The fans that don't know about this yet, will scroll down and see this thread title, and grow smiles upon their faces...until they open this thread and it reveals it's actual contents lol

That was me, I was so happy and then read everything else and I was like WTF... false advertising is a horrible thing.

[Truant]

I'm sure this is stated throughout the thread but there are probably multiple components to the conditioning test. It sounds like he passed the first part with flying colors and then failed another part.

[jnhay]

The fact that bigger media like Schefter aren't saying anything yet makes me think its not worth reading too much into yet.

Glazer has broken a lot of news on his own. He should be considered "big media."

[SIXX99]

Looks like they are about to talk Skins on SportsCenter. Should be about 3-5 minutes pending commercials.

[skins island connection]

He was supposedly working with a trainer, am I correct? If not, I could understand, but if he was, then obviously his "trainer" has no conception of physical condition.
We all know he was larger than life, really, but shedding 40 lbs can put you in a really great mental condition, but the physical part will *****-slap you to the ground...

[authentic]

Per espn980, Chris Russell states that there is no official confirmation as to the pass or fail. Why are these reports so conflicting? Either he passed or failed the stupid test!!

I don't know dude - all I know is how espn emphasized walked

[Jimbo]

I have to agree with Bang. I could see Shanahan setting him up to fail this test.

When he passed the first one, he was like "oh we have another double secret second test now".

Does this mean Al is now on "Double Secret Probation"? ;)

Well yeah, thats my point. Basically ChrisR got the information from a representative, who spoke to someone who was an eye witness to the test. This is like third hand info.

[VaSkinsNut]

Guess he hit the weights this off-season to shed a few pounds and did ZERO cardio figuring his routine from last year (getting carted off the field and back 3 plays later) was good enough.

[skins island connection]

I wonder if Shanny intentionally put him through a grueling test, knowing he would fail {if he actually did} just to send a statement that you're not welcome on this team, and to use it as possible leverage in recuping some of the millions?
WTF; I am not going to speculate on anything, because the media is so ****ed up, attempting to be THE one to break the story, and the "my baby-daddy's best friend's baby cousin on his mother's side" version always seems to rear its ugly head...

I'll second that one, from experience.

Sounds like he did the first one well, maybe hit the wall in the second and finished it by walking the rest.

[BRAVEONAWARPATH]

I might be wrong but I get the vibe that Shanahan's going to let his ego get in the way and hold a grudge.

[jdskins44]

I wonder what Fletch will have to saya about this!!!!!

[terrifNick21]

If that's the case, at least he DID finish.

[mossomo]

It is what it is. Question. Can we now move him to the Physically unable to perform list (PUP)? As I understand it, then he wouldn't count against roster space. Would be interesting if Shanny makes him an example.

[SIXX99]

Maybe the failed test report is a smoke screen that they leaked to piss Al off.

[mojo]

I might be wrong but I get the vibe that Shanahan's going to let his ego get in the way and hold a grudge.

Well, I guess the question is whether this was the same test given to the other D-linemen. If it was different, you might have a point. If not, I don't have a problem.

2 300 yard shuttle runs!? That sounds like overkill to me!

[RFK Lives]

Cannot say I am surprised but have a strong suspicion he will pass it on his next try. It doesn't sound like he didn't try or fall on his butt...he saves that for games. ;)

[MattFancy]

So did he pass it or not?

[RabidFan]

I'd be shocked if any NT in the league could do that

[Unforgiven]

Two 300-yard shuttles for a 300 pound lineman is absurd.

I'm not saying I blame Shanahan for making a bit of an example out of him. Though I kind of got my hopes up everything would go smooth after all the positive reports the past two days.

Haynesworth 0 vs Shanahan 14 (Fat Al just fumbled on the 50 yard line):pfft:

Noone from the redskins has issued a 'pass/fail' grade that matters.

Thats why the reports are conflicting.

Some people said he looked good, some are saying he didn't look good.

But noone has passed/failed him yet. THere is no report to give. You're just hearing what some people's sources are saying they saw or heard.

Well, when you basically spit in your coaches face and tell him you aren't going to do things his way because you think your way is better, you can't expect the coach to respond with nothing less.

His whole claim was he was spending his time "working out" and getting into shape. My guess is Shanny provided a conditioning test proper for a guy who's been training by himself for 3 months.

It's what he asked for. (indirectly)

Two different reports, which one is correct.

....What tshile said.

Also, I don't know too much about fitness tests for football, but I will say that 2 300-yard shuttle runs (if that was actually what the test consisted of) sounds a sight harder than the 3 25-yard up and downs with 70 second breaks in between that the Ravens have their Dlinemen run....

[Santana_Fan]

i think DLs should focus thier workouts on strength not cardio... im suprised a DL's test is 2 300yard sprints...

[MGutta]

ok lets say its 35 secs.. its still not a walk in the park...

I calculated 3 MPH :movefast:

Lol come on, I could do that backwards

[Ax]

And Dimwit Nation somehow thinks him failing, is good.

[skins island connection]

Could it be possible Shanny is looking down the road, and anticipating AH to be putting in a half-ass effort when mid-season hits, and doesn't want to deal with his antics?
2-300 yd runs is a bit much for a DL, but is something like that really needed; I am asking because I don't know and don't want to speculate.

[MattFancy]

Why? Because some are more worried about being first then they are about being right. Just look at their track records.

HECK, Glazer broke the Gibbs returns bit.

So are you saying Glazer is more than likely right?

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

I hope Shanny abuses the hell out of him. Make him come in tomorrow and do 6 300 yard shuttles :ols:

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Whoever left the tag turd>jreid is absolutely right.

Because we depend on the turd to be released during the critical moments in our lives

[Stugein]

Honestly who the hell leaks crap like this anyway? How many people are involved in the conditioning test anyway that there can be anonymous leaksters?? Like..are these bits of information from "sources" orchestrated or made up, or do the coaches really not notice the water boy standing behind the Gatorade cooler with his Blackberry, frantically typing away? Doesn't seem like it would be difficult to keep this kind of thing in-house until official word is released, ya know?

[Bang]

Well, I guess the question is whether this was the same test given to the other D-linemen. If it was different, you might have a point. If not, I don't have a problem.

I don't know if the tests would be different, but maybe the other guys took them when Albert was sitting out the voluntary workouts ...
How funny would that be if every other linemen did them over two or three workouts, and Shanny made him do them all at once because he was absent? :ols:

No it's not. I can't stand the "follow me and I'll tell you what I'm doing" people, but Twitter's pretty good for breaking rumors AS LONG AS YOU TAKE THEM AS JUST THAT!

[brianm23]

And Dimwit Nation somehow thinks him failing, is good.

I wouldn't classify it as "good", but it's karma biting him square in the ass. He wanted to sit out of OTAs, mini-camps because he thought he knew better. He believed his working out was a bigger priority than what his coach and team wanted, so running those shuttles should have been a walk in the park for a guy who's supposedly training for 3-4 months on his own.

Guess his way wasn't so wise after all.

[THUNDERDOME]

He basicaly said: a source told me that another source said that sources lead to us thinking he did good, but we dont know yet...........WTF

[Ellis Dee]

Can anyone comment on NFL Conditioning tests in general? They are completely discretionary of the team?

I heard on the Mike Wise show just now that the Ravens make you do 1 30-yard dash, take a 70 second break, do another 30-yard dash, take a 70 second break, and then do another 30-yard dash and that's it. That's the same test that Terence Cody failed on but then passed the next day.

So 90 yards total of running and we are making Fat Al run 600? Big discrepancy between teams conditioning tests.

[angel2]

"IF" and that's a big "IF" he had passed part 2 of the test, would there have been a part 3 of the test?

I'm sure Shanahan doesn't light off fireworks every time a player passes the test. Just think about how people in the organization must be pretty busy and unwilling to be distracted by reporters right now.

I'm confused. How could he lose 30 pounds and not be in good shape? You can't just sit around and lose 30 pounds. You have to do alot of cardio I would imagine. So either he didn't lose 30 pounds or the conditioning test was crazy hard.

Personally I am quite curious how many of our D linemen who were here the whole time would have been able to pass a 2 300 yard shuttle test (if that really was the test). I'm going to guess very few, if any. I'm thinking this is pretty much a non-story. Shanny likely set it up so he could see what kind of condition AH was in, but at the same time would be pretty much assured to "fail" to give AH a little bit of "ok you're back, good. but I'm the boss here and don't forget it". If he isn't practicing today I'm guessing he will be tomorrow.

[SIXX99]

Isn't Kelli Johnson usually at Redskins Park?

[THUNDERDOME]

This was from last year:

The conditioning test made its way into the spotlight last year when Coach Zorn talked about how then-rookie wide receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly had not been able to pass it.

Yesterday marked the culmination of that advantage: on the last day Brian could be at the facility, Thomas wanted him to go through that same conditioning test. "It's a 300 yard shuttle," Thomas told me, "25 yards and back six times. Linemen, we get 67 seconds. I gave him 70."

So Thomas, along with fellow linemen D'Anthony Batiste and Mike Willliams, took Brian out to the practice fields yesterday morning and put him through his paces.

I caught up with them afterward to see how it went.

"He really embarrassed me," Thomas said, "because I put him through the whole offseason workouts."

I winced. That successful?

Thomas shook his head. "He wants to walk on somewhere, but he walked off today. Today, he really discouraged me, because I thought he was at least getting worked out."

Brian had been standing by, still looking sweaty and fatigued. "I finished the first one," he pointed out.

"It's the recovery," Batiste said. "You can do the first one, but your recovery is shot."

"He passed the first one in the handicap time of 70," Thomas clarified. "He came in at 69 seconds. But the second one took him a hundred seconds. That's pretty embarrassing."

[Popeman38]

It's absolutely worthless.

Every dork fanboy tries to break news on there, and it's all bs.

Especially on the first day of TC? Like it means anything if Al is in shape today, as opposed to a month from now, when it matters.

And everyone that wastes time reading that crap gets distracted from more important things, like making money, working out at the gym, or actually living.

It is a nerd zone.

And posting on a messageboard isn't a distraction? :evilg:

I would wager that 0 players his size could pass this conditioning test. I know Ma'ake Kemoeatu couldn't pass it.

Heyer?

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no.

I'm confused. How could he lose 30 pounds and not be in good shape? You can't just sit around and lose 30 pounds. You have to do alot of cardio I would imagine. So either he didn't lose 30 pounds or the conditioning test was crazy hard.
They're asking a 330ish pound man to do 2 300 yard shuttle runs. I don't think any lineman's training should focus on endurance like that.

So you're saying he passed then? lol

Personally I am quite curious how many of our D linemen who were here the whole time would have been able to pass a 2 300 yard shuttle test (if that really was the test). I'm going to guess very few, if any.


Funny you bring this up because this was one of Kelli Johnson's tweets from about 13 hours ago.

"Shanahan doesn't believe in conditioning tests if you've participated in offseason program; Haynesworth may be only 1 taking it or 1 of few"

Yeah that is insane if you ask me. I mean a linemen moves the least during a game. If a DL is chasing a RB, then that's never a good sign.
