It's Wednesday, which is always a good day for media to collect quotes and sound bites that will help shape game coverage leading up to the weekend. The best thing out of the Redskins' locker room today came from defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, preparing for his regular-season debut in burgundy and gold. Apparently, he's not scared about facing 6-foot-4, 264-pound running back Brandon Jacobs.
Jacobs might have lit up LaRon Landry in last year's season-opener, but it's going to be a bit harder to rattle Haynesworth, who doesn't seem the least bit intimidated by Jacobs' size.
"They all fall the same, so it doesn't really matter. None of them are bigger than me, so it doesn't really matter to me," Haynesworth said. "What is he, 250? I weighed 250 when I was in the 10th grade."
It didn't take long for that to reach Jacobs. Bob Glauber, the NFL columnist for Newsday, tweeted Jacobs' response this afternoon: "When I was in 10th grade, I was 242 pounds ... running the ball."

man oh man oh man!! Jacobs aint gonna run over Albert like he did Laron thats for sure. And I wonder if Laron is looking for some payback to make up for what happened to him last year.
