It's been a while since I have posted an actual blog, but as always you can follow me on www.twitter.com/russellmania09 for every bit of news I can cover on the Redskins beat.

However, it's time to break the streak -- as Albert Haynesworth has decided to take a blow torch out of his locker and light the drops of gasoline around him and the Redskins franchise  on fire.

All together now, Well that didn't take very long!

During the first half of Saturday night's dismal preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Haynesworth was seen on the sidelines smiling and seemingly happy, but if you have covered Haynesworth during his time in Washington like those of us on the beat have, you knew something was going on in that large head.

He finally entered early in the 3rd quarter, played pretty lethargically if not poorly from my perspective and then chose to unload on Mike Shanahan and company.

First question out of the shoot -- I asked him how he felt about his performance. He showed his displeasure right away by saying essentially he was disrespected by not playing until the 3rd quarter.

He disputed the notion that his only ailment was a headache.

"I don't know. I was told I had headaches or whatever and that's why I couldn't go out and practice. It was a little bit more than that, but they didn't want to expose that."

The Washington Redskins as an organization have taken some big steps this year and specifically over the last eight months to correct their on field mediocrity, and in some cases (2009) extremely poor performance.

With the additions of Bruce Allen, Mike Shanahan, Donovan McNabb and others, the Redskins hope to bring back respectability and credibility.

However, the changes have not stopped behind the offensive line, in the front office,  or on the sidelines.

One day after an announced crowd of 29,000 witnessed 2010 Fan Appreciation Day, the Redskins and Owner Dan Snyder, Chief Operating Officer David Donovan and other members of the organization officially debuted the newly redesigned and enhanced Fed Ex Field.

You can view some of the pictures here from the weekend's festivities, http://twitpic.com/2cv8jf 

Fed Ex Field, for far too long -- has been just a gigantic bowl of concrete designed before the huge boom of sophisticated stadiums occurred.

I can't and won't say it is a "new" stadium, but the place looks really sharp inside the actual stadium venue. The outside and concourse -- looks about the same despite some landscaping improvements.

When you walk in to the actual seating area, you can't help but be impressed by the gigantic new HD video boards that are behind each end zone and the new party decks that were built essentially on top of the boards.

The boards are 100 feet in length, in ridiculous HD, with the ability to show out-of-town scores and statistics via the eight digital ribbon boards.

"I think one of the things that takes place,  the stadium is  now a decade old -- it needs to be upgraded," said Snyder.  "When it was first built, high definition didn't exist at the time, in this capacity."

Asked what he was most proud of, the man who many Redskins fans still are not sold on -- said "It's still a new stadium. I'm most proud of the fact that it's still a great stadium. It's one that we're building a tradition, and starting it with Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan -- so we've got something to build here."

The other improvements include a new paint job inside the bowl of the stadium which really sharpens everything up even more to the eye, and a number of  landscaping improvements. 

Fans coming to Fed Ex Field, won't get to see the Master Control room that operates the video boards but here is a snap shot look http://twitpic.com/2cz44d.

The final change that was introduced to the media on Sunday, is Sean Taylor's locker which has been enclosed in glass since his death at Redskins Park. The location is on the club level near the Sprint gate entrance but is only open to Suite, Club and Loge level ticket holders on game day. Fans can view the display that has other enhancements, by taking a stadium tour or on other special occasions.

 Fed Ex Field is clearly a better place to visit now, then 8 months ago. There is no doubt about this. Now all the Redskins and Dan Snyder have to hope for is that the product on the field, makes those dazzling video boards look even better.

Follow me on the Redskins Beat at www.twitter.com/russellmania09 and please listen on Friday starting in the  3 PM hour to the first Redskins Radio Network broadcast of the 2010 season, as the voice of the Redskins Larry Michael and Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen and Sam Huff have all the action. Kevin Sheehan, Al Galdi and I will also contribute to the broadcast throughout the day and night live from Fed Ex Field on ESPN 980, www.espn980.com and the http://redsk.in/drOMMD Redskins Radio Network.

Another day, another chapter of the Albert Haynesworth drama here at Redskins Park.

I wouldn't really call it drama, but of course -- it is a dramatic term used to illustrate the soap opera like nature of this story.

Haynesworth, was scheduled for an MRI on Thursday afternoon. The Redskins will not issue an official response until Friday afternoon, when Mike Shanahan meets the media -- but please follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/russellmania09 for any breaking news reports.

Haynesworth returned to Redskins Park before 3 pm on Thursday, but didn't have any comment as I asked him how he was feeling.

The good news is Haynesworth worked more vigorously according to reports on the back practice field, while I was conducting interviews with some of his teammates -- so that is a good sign.

Still -- depending on what the MRI says -- he has to pass the conditioning test that he has yet to pass, and then practice in order to play.

Head Coach Mike Shanahan stressed that Haynesworth won't be playing games without getting ready properly for them, "I'm going to treat Albert the way I treat any other player, to see what he can do on the practice field and try to get him in the best shape possible.  I do that with every one of the players on our football team, just like Malcolm Kelly."

**In other NON-ALBERT news from camp --

*RT Jamaal Brown returned to practice after his MRI came back negative -- he was limited but made one nice drive block to the 2nd level that I saw in early drills.

**WR Mike Furrey is still out, missing his 4th practice in a row with a concussion. Mike Shanahan says he has had one before, so that is an obvious concern. Furrey is battling for a roster spot, along with Malcolm Kelly -- who once again was working on the side, doing agility drills but not participating with the team. Kelly is still dealing with a hamstring injury that has prevented him from taking part fully in practices so far.

**Some other veterans enjoyed the day off for the most part, like Chris Cooley and Mike Sellers.

**Highlight o' the day to me was Joey Galloway catching a nice pass in stride over his shoulder from new QB John Beck over Ramzee Robinson. Would have been a touchdown in a game, but then again if Beck or Robinson are playing -- that is likely a very bad sign for the Redskins.

**I talked to ILB Robert Henson after practice and asked  if the inside linebackers were dropping more in pass coverage in this system.

"Yeah, you saw London out there today with that breakup. I've been doing it too whenever the call allows me to do it"

London Fletcher had a really nice down the middle of the field break up of a pass intended for Fred Davis. Henson should have had a pick on a batted up ball, but couldn't hold on. I've also seen Henson, who did have an INT in coverage on Wednesday -- playing deeper coverage more.

**Other players that I thought really shined today were Brian Orakpo who knocked down several pass attempts, one charging towards the line and one in  coverage from right to left. Chris Wilson also looked spry today, breaking up a bootleg and forcing a bad throw by Rex Grossman.

**Terrence Austin continues to shine, catching everything you throw at him -- and it looks like he runs pretty good routes. He also worked some punt returns today as well -- which makes him even more valuable to Mike Shanahan.

**Carlos Rogers had his 2nd INT of training camp, picking off Rex Grossman  who threw it inaccurately because of bad footwork.
