Marcus in the Middle?

Williams discounted the idea of moving Lavar or Marcus to the middle in an interview on Redskins.com a month ago.

If it aint broke dont fix it. Keep Washington where he is now, I'd say. I think we are going to be just fine at MLB, we have a variety of guys who should push each other for the starting job.

Exactly, Washington's cover skills are EXCELLENT. We have some really good atheletes in Taylor, Arrington, and Washington to cover.

I don't really like Lavars covering skills... I would rather him just lock on to the quarterback or the RB...

I would rather the season started tomorrow, i cant stop thinking about my skins.

Redskins: LaVar's cover skills are probably at the bottom of that trio, but it gives us a lot of flexability because he CAN cover which is the important thing.

Agreed, I was just saying that he is at the top of the trio (when healthy) of blowing up the QB or RB... You are absolutely right that the LB core that we have now gives us great flexibility... Do you think that the Skins are thinking of life after Lavar with the way they drafted???? Here is why I think they may be going that road (and I am not saying I agree with it..)

1. His attitude toward upeer management on his contract

2. His attitude towards the coaching staff on the way his injury was handled

3. His lingering knee (I know it is getting better but will he be as explosive?)

4. Our cap situation isn't the best

5. His trade value after this year if he has a good year will be high

6. Lemar played well when he was out and they drafted the future of middle linebacker for us (It looks like)

Just some thoughts, what do you think???

there's no way they move Marcus to the middle when u take into account the fact that Marcus and Arrington will two of the teams best options for getting pressure on the qb from the outside on a regular basis. Williams will be able to get a mix of Marshall, Holdman, and the rookie to take care of the middle. And even though the writtings on the wall for it being over for Barrow, you never know cuz if he were to finally get healthy enough to play, he's the best option for the MLB spot.

Problem is Redskins, it'll be a long time till we can dump laVar thanks to the crazy contract we gave him.

Got that right!
