The Redskins opened their first training camp under coach Mike Shanahan on July 29 at their Ashburn, Va. facility still adapting to coordinator Kyle Shanahan's version of the West Coast passing game and to new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett's 3-4 system, the first time the scheme has been Washington's base scheme.
There was also the weighty matter of defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth. After leaving the offseason program as soon as it began on March 15 because he wanted to play end, not nose tackle, the $100 million man stayed way even during June's mandatory minicamp, drawing the ire of such veteran leaders as linebacker London Fletcher and end Phillip Daniels. But Haynesworth reported to camp on time and having trimmed down from the 350 or so pounds he weighed during his...

Leinart, Houshmandzadeh released as NFL teams trim to 53 (SportingNews.com) - Matt Leinart might get a second chance, but for the Arizona Cardinals he was a first-round bust. The team released Leinart on Saturday, marking another career setback for the 10th pick of the 2006 draft and the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner.
