Shanahan said that the talks were an internal matter and would not be discussed with the media.

The head coach has made it clear that he is unhappy with Haynesworth’s practice habits and he will be treated just like everyone else.

The defensive tackle doesn’t seem to be on the same page with the team, but his teammates say it isn’t a distraction.

The team believes Haynesworth could still earn a starting spot if he can return to practice and appear motivated.

Head coach Mike Shanahan won’t allow Haynesworth to begin practicing with the team until he passes the test, which consists of completing three 300-yard sprints in a specified amount of time. He’s also the only player on the roster being made to pass it before practicing because he skipped all of the team’s offseason workouts.Haynesworth has earned few supporters with his behavior this offseason, and this latest episode isn’t helping his cause. He chose to work out on his own mainly as a gesture of pouting over the team’s change to a 3-4 defense following the addition of defensive coordinator Jim Haslett. Haynesworth signed the richest contract in NFL history before the 2009 season, expecting to man the middle of the line for a Redskins team playing the 4-3, which is the only type of defense he played in his years with Tennessee.

Shanahan, who has the full support of ownership following his signing this offseason, has shown no signs of easing up on Haynesworth. Many speculated that he would ship out the disgruntled tackle before training camp.

The owner said he is excited for the New York/New Jersey Super Bowl and thinks Washington is next in line.

The Redskins tried to land the Super Bowl back in 2003 but the league was not yet ready to give it to a cold city.

Washington’s stadium will be seen as a positive and a negative when it comes to trying win a Super Bowl bid.

It’s size will allow more people to come to the game, but the parking situation and lack of things to do around it won’t go over well.
