DrDawkinstein Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Very interesting read: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/albert-haynesworth-letter-to-my-younger-self/ If nothing else, listen to me on this, Albert: Do not leave the Tennessee Titans. Your defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is a mastermind. Edited July 6, 2015 by DrDareustein
NoSaint Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Good for him finding happiness and seeming to make sense of his roller coaster journey.
KD in CA Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 That's a very good piece. Certainly provides another perspective on him.
Dragonborn10 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Shanahan is such a fraud. Elway made him. Hell his kid might be better than he is.
cale Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I just read this, off Facebook. Fantastic insight. Great read. Of course, he doesn't mention the fact that he slept with his nanny, but you know he does seem wiser now.
Kelly the Dog Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 That was really great. I saw excerpts this morning and was hoping there would be a post on it. Thx. Gives you a totally different perspective on him, and maybe even the NFL, even though all of it has been touched on in other places.
Saxum Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Albert: Do not leave the Tennessee Titans. Your defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is a mastermind. No matter how much I tell you this, you’ll probably never realize it until your career is over, but it’s true. You’re like a system quarterback. You thrive in a very specific scheme. This tells me a lot!
NoSaint Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Good for him! (Who saw THAT coming?) It's always nice to be proven wrong when you don't expect a guy to go anywhere good
Fixxxer Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Great read, good that he's happy with who and where he is right now. Edited July 6, 2015 by Fixxxer
Saxum Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Well if Schwartz was kept in some capacity it would easier for Bills to bring in Albert for "pep talk". Of course it might be as effective since Darius has been good in several systems.
DC Tom Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 The Player's Tribune has great content. And "Letters To My Younger Self" is particularly good.
Just in Atlanta Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 The part about his psychologist totally looped me in. Very well written.
machine gun kelly Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 interesting as part of me see him making excuses for himself, but then it seems he didn't have a dad or anyone guiding him well, and then maybe it is as he states. I'm glad he has a passion beyond football.
