Did anyone else watch Comcast postgame? (Lavar Related)

80% of his plays, so you have seen 7 plays. You can tell a man is not deserving of playing time through watching 7 plays. boy you are talented. I am sick of all these fans coming to Gibbs and GW rescue. The fact is they lied to us about LaVar, why he isn't playing. They keep saying to prove it in practice, knowing damn well he isn't getting on the field in practice. I give LaVar props for staying quite as long as he as. The Redskins have botched this with a proven probowler, for what ever reason. Makes no sense why Holdman, and Clemons is seeing the field instead of LaVar. Thats like taking out somebody like Urlacher and saying, well, you just dont fit in this D because we want to do this, come on the guy is talented enough to play the run, rush the passer, fast enough to play the pass and rome the field like a DB. Why do all these people keep sticking up for this staff? because its JOE, what JOE never botches anything. Dont you remember the Trotter thing? He basically said, well I messed that one up, hes very good. Now if he sees trotter play and thinks he is very good, how can he miss LaVars ability?

I am trying to understand exactly why some people think this is about anything other than performance issues. What is the concensus in that camp?

My response to you is why then is the coaching staff saying LaVar has to prove it on the practice field and then not even giving him the chance to prove it. The man does not practice, not at all. Whats with that? Tell me, honostly, Holdman is a better LB than LaVar. If you can honostly say that, I will be amazed.
Absolutely.

Root for the team, not the players.

When did they lie? In your wildest imaginations you can't find anythign they have said that is a lie. You're taking Lavar's word as gold and dismissing they're word. Why? And honestly if you look at what both have said you don't see to much contradiction. No where did Gibbs or Williams say that Lavar was getting every rep possible. All they said was he needed to show improvement in practice. Lots of guys move up the depth chart by only a getting a few reps in practice and doing the max they can with them. The coaches don't stop watching when the 3rd and 4th stringers are getting reps. They're watching to see who is doing what.

I guess it depends on what "personal" is.

Is he being benched because the coaches just don't like him? I highly doubt that, in fact to think they would be so petty is just ridiculous.

If personal means he has an attitude problem, then I can believe that.

At this point I don't even care. This whole thing is really getting annoying, LAVAR IS NOT ABOVE THE TEAM, nobody is!

The Redskins are 3-1, it would be a damn shame if this thing becomes a distraction to the team. I doubt it will, the coaches won't allow it and I think this thing is a bigger deal externally than it is internally.

Seriously, what is the big deal? The team is 3-1 without him with the 5th ranked D, and the defense was 3rd overall last year without him.

People are acting as if LaVar is somehow unbenchable, as if there's nothing he could do that would warrant this.

Maybe with other staffs this doesn't happen, but I for one appreciate the team atmosphere this staff has worked so hard to instill, and if this is just another example of them putting the team first, then dammit I don't care who they bench!

Hasn't anyone noticed this trend, LaVar is always the victim, but usually we see right through this, but now for some reason people are coming to his defense. Don't get suckered in!

#56fanatic:
You are consistently mistating facts. You have said now a couple times that Lavar "doesn't get on the practice field". Where exactly are you getting this idea?

thats a joke! Then why to they market these players individually. I always root for washington, but man you have to be able to identify with the players. Looking at your age, I dont know if you remember the years Gibbs was here the first time, man the players were the same year in and year out, and dont tell me it cant happen. All the good teams(pats, eagles, steelers, carolina, ect. ) all have the same core group. LaVar is suppose to be the head of that core group, a "core redskin" now hes being tossed aside like a used up 40 year old QB.

Lavar is a weapon but so is the scud missile.


We will see Lavar this season just be patient.
You watch the clips of the Phins and Broncs SB and you'll see that Gibbs can pull it out. All you need is faith my brother.

Scud missile is like shooting old Pontiac stationwagons in the air...

Because on a team that doesn't win much, that's where they make the money. Looking at your age you should know this, old man. ;)
