Redskins notes
» Defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth was again in a chatty mood after the game. This time, though, he didn’t say anything inflammatory. Haynesworth said he and coach Mike Shanahan talked after his outburst following the Baltimore game in which he said he was being made to look bad.

Haynesworth said he and Shanahan now are on the proverbial same page. “I think we are,” Haynesworth said. “I’m getting adjusted to the defense. I’m gonna play hard, and I’m going to play my best. … It’s behind me. I don’t even remember what I said last week.” And he joked about how tight he now was with Shanahan. “I’m going over to dinner at his house probably tonight, and we’re gonna have a cigar and talk,” he said after the game. But Haynesworth admitted he’s still adjusting to the 3-4 defense after spending his first eight seasons in a 4-3. Haynesworth played more at right end. “In the 3-4 you’ve really got to hold your gap,” he said. “[In the] 4-3, the linebackers can cover you. … I still had that 4-3 mindset, trying to make plays. I can definitely improve a whole lot, but I didn’t play horrible.”
» Receiver Devin Thomas didn’t play, though he was told the night before the game that he probably wouldn’t get any snaps from scrimmage, and he did play on special teams. Guard/center Edwin Williams and receiver Shay Hodge also did not play. Williams had received a lot of action in the first two games.
