WASHINGTON — While he’s “disappointed” with Albert Haynesworth, all else seems fine with Dan Snyder after a rough year as owner of the Washington Redskins.

Snyder acknowledged a different vibe and a cultural change now that he’s appointed Bruce Allen as general manager and Mike Shanahan as head coach.

“It was necessary,” Snyder said Saturday at the dedication of an inner-city field that has been refurbished by the team. “We were 4-12 and going in the wrong direction, and all the changes are to get us going in the right direction.”

Haynesworth is another matter. The two-time All-Pro defensive lineman has skipped two voluntary minicamps this spring and stayed away from all of the team’s offseason workouts.
