Lavar and Giants agree on deal

I don't like it , as I've said before he can't and won't stay healthy .Even when he is he's not that good,and awful lot of very good defensive coachs have tried to work with him and failed .We should have moved up to get Hawk or Carpenter and bring in Harry Carson to coach them! http://67.18.37.16/1277/149/emo/giants.gif

Hell of a LB, too bad the knee injury has slowed him down though,,,
he's only a threat on 1st and 2nd down.. why not pick up Ahmad Brooks in the supplamental draft and we'd forget all about #56

If he wasn't good enough for Gibbs, he's not good enough for me. He can talk all he wants about playing against the Skins twice etc, etc, but he'll also feel a deep pang of sadness watching us raise the Lombardi trophy while he sits at home with ice packs on his knees.

yeah ok ,lol

I wish Arrington all the luck when he's playing the cowboys and eagles but when he plays the skins, I hope his roof catches fire.

I always hoped for LA to actually be as good as the hype. IMO he had the ability to be one of the very best but only played at that level once in awhile and it never lasted long enough. He talked "team" but many of his outbursts and difficulties in recent years to me said "me". He kind of became irrelevent to me last season. We just didn't need him and his mouth anymore.

I cannot think of many guys who have had difficulties on a Gibbs coached teams...Gibbs likes high character guys and will take care of them...his track record says his approach works. Arrington didn't fit into that mold. I think that had everything to do with him no longer being a Skin and thats good enough for me.

Just my opinion though.

Wow read this L.A. suckfest from Carucci over at nfl.com

April 22, 2006) -- The Giants' signing of LaVar Arrington could very well prove to be the single best acquisition in this year's free-agent market.

Arrington still ranks as one of the most talented linebackers -- and one of the best players at any position -- in the NFL. I have the utmost respect for the job Gregg Williams has done in building a highly successful defense in Washington, and that clearly didn't require much help from Arrington. But just because Arrington might not have been a good fit for Williams' highly structured scheme does not mean he is incapable of thriving elsewhere. Frankly, after so much acrimony in his relationship with the Redskins, a change of scenery might just be what Arrington needs to help him regain the difference-making form he displayed earlier in his career.


Ex-Skins LaVar Arrington is ready to flex his muscles against his former team in NFC East battles.
Arrington means much more to the Giants than a plug for the huge hole they had had at weak-side linebacker. In joining ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, and middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, he completes what could very well be the most dominant defensive front in the league. When healthy and focused, Arrington is capable of taking over a game. As a pass-rusher, he relies on an explosive first step that allows him to consistently beat opponents off the snap. Against the run, he has the speed and athleticism to make plays from sideline to sideline and catch runners from behind.

Of course, the Giants were wise to sign him to a contract that is heavy with incentives, and, therefore, protects them in case Arrington's knee acts up or he again becomes unhappy with his surroundings. Given the structure of the deal, my sense is that Arrington understands he has an excellent opportunity to revitalize his career and whether that happens is going to be mostly up to him.

If it does, this pickup could easily help swing the balance of power in the NFC East in the direction of the Giants and enhance their chances of being a serious postseason contender in 2006.



I bolded the parts that suck. Now i'm a big lavar fan, and even though he plays for the giants now, i still wish that he will have a good season, but carucci is acting like lavar never had any knee injuries, is still as explosive as he was earlier in his career, and is one of the best linebackers to play the game, which as we all saw post injury, he isn't.

Wonder what number he'll wear...I suggest a number in the 90's

he is wearin 55

Can we stop arguing about the same old crap, about if LaVar is good in our eyes, bc he left, and whatnot. Its over ppl stop going on and on about how he didnt love the skins, sheez you guys are acting like you just got dumped by Kelly in the 6th grade, bringing up how she didnt love you ever living minute. The issue at hand right now is, LaVar's new deal, its terms, etc. He was a good player for us, tried hard, good guy for the fans and community, did LOVE the skins, had trouble with the handful of coaches over the years, and left bc of the conflicts that came up in his situation that were not all HIS fault. We all know what happened was for the best (damn now even I sound like your best bud conforting you after you got dumped), so just let it freaking go.

I am quoting my own post, bc you guys need to end this LaVar bitching crap, it really is lame. I understand if you talk bout him, his salary, how he did hear, etc, but quit complaining about him, its like people revolve around him here. Biggest bunch of hypocrites in this thread, because you all are saying im sick and tired of this LaVar talk, this and that, but then next post you guys are bitching about how he was all about the money....
