To say that Arrington was just born 6'-3" and 250 lbs. and did not work hard to get to where he is...is crazy. He spent many years in the weight room, running and film room study to get to where he is. Athletic talent has to be developed as well as having good genes.
No disrespect intended, but some of you (especialy Jasonskin (21) who started this topic) were to young to remember that Monte's career did not start all to well. He was mostly a career back up and special teams player. When Monte did get to start he was injury prone early in his career, especially with a re-occurring hamstring injury that would come and go for a few seasons.
Monte as much as I love him and is one of my favorite Redskins of all time, he was a one demensional LB, strong against the pass and pass rushing, but was not so strong being consistent vs. the run. That is why Gibbs made him a third down LB and platooned him with Mel Kaufman and Rich Milot who were stronger against the run.
(especialy jasonskin (21) what is that all about just because i am 21 i don't no what Montes career was.My dad is a big skin fan and he has been recording redskins gamse the last 35 years or so we got tape on alot of players.
