Did anyone else watch Comcast postgame? (Lavar Related)

I know there is a super duper mega merge Lavar thread, but since he is in all of the post game threads as well I figured this would be ok. On the postgame, Kelli Johnson asked GW about Lavar and he said that he's improving and is getting closer to being able to contribute.. After the interview she quoted sources who go up very high on the staff that said Lavar is practicing with the second team but is still freelancing too much in practice and isn't disciplined enough for the coaches to trust him. Brian Mitchell said it's common knowledge league wide that Arrington is undisciplined and will hurt his own team with mistakes and that he usually costs the Redskins 1-2 games per year with those mistakes. I'm as big of a Lavar fan as there is, but maybe we shouldn't look at all of the conspiracy reasons for Lavar not to play and focus on the man himself..

I have no problem with LaVar riding the pine until he EARNS his playing time.

Apparently Gibbs is off the hook now with the fans and we've moved on to blasting Williams.

I find it laughable that some are now questioning GW... a man who many have championed to take over as head coach once Gibbs walks away. A man who has led many top ranked defenses in this league and probably knows a thing or two about personnel and who he feels comfortable working in his schemes.

If we should have learned one thing since Gibbs came back, it's that no individual player is above this team.

Why is LaVar exempt from this with some fans? It's no secret that he tends to play out of position and can get burnt because he doesn't stay true to the scheme.

The Monday Morning coach/GM routine is getting really tired, especially with people thinking they know how more than our coaching staff.

I did watch the postgame w/ Comcast. I'll go on the record that i am a LA fan. I post my opinion, but i also know that Greg Williams knows alot more about football than me. So, I am also a big GW fan and think this guy is the best defensive mind in the league. Anything this coaching staff does, i'll support. As a skins fan, i would love for LA to make it out there and tear it up. We'll see...

I'm a LaVar fan as well, BUT above all I'm a Skins fan.

If GW thinks we're better off right now with LaVar on the bench, call me crazy but I'm going to trust his decision. Just like I trusted Gibbs when he went with Brunell.

Do I always agree with these decisions? Definitely not. But in the end I'll support whatever decisions are made because I trust that Gibbs and this staff always has the team's best interests in mind at all times.

To insinuate that some of these decisions are personal or to stroke someone's ego is just absolutely assanine to me.

I agree that Lavar tends to play out of position. But clearly we need a pass rush. No sacks yesterday. I can believe that there is not at least one package that he fits into where all he has to do is rush the qb. No need to fall into protection or stop the run, simply all out rush on the passer. I find it very hard to believe that he can't at least contribute that way. The man is a beast and to stop him on a blitz is tough. At least with him in the game, offenses have to think about him and maybe it allows someone else to get the qb. It is a shame not to get any sacks and have him sitting on the bench. Just my opionion.

Because I already bought the jersey. :smashfrea

I am a Skins fan as long as they are winning I will support the coaching staff. I was against Brunell starting but look what he is doing. He is putting us in positions to win and not causing us to lose. My only problem with the LA thing isn't that he is not playing but the fact that they are probably just going to release him instead of trade him for something. He is too valuable to just let him go to another team. Plus that way we can dictate where he goes. Don't want him to show up in Dallas, Philly, or NYG and put a hurting on us.

I totally agree, just his presence on the field could make an impact. Although, I feel its much more than what they are saying.

I stuck with Gibbs with Brunell and I'll stick with Gregg with this decision.
