Good News Lavar Fans!!!

And then got pissy about it when he got hurt blaming the team when it was him pushing to come back. Remember, it isn't his fault. Lavar is always the victim.

I happened to be listening to 980 the day he hurt himself. He came on the show and was depressed, you could hear it in his voice. He in no way put the blame on the coaching staff or training staff. He said he told them " I am going to be on the field today, and you will have to physically hold me down if you dont want me out there!!" He stopped talking to media when all this happened, because someone in the media made up something saying he lashed out at the team for the way he was being treated. I also remember when they showed him coming out of the training facility on crutches and when someone asked him about it, he basically said, "you have the story you want, so write about it" basically saying, write what you want, you didn't listen to me in the first place, so make up your own. I dont know where this thing about him critisizing the management and coaching staff came from. I am a diehard fan, and read the post, times, espn, redskins.com everyday and never do I remember hearing him bash the team in that way.

PR was just not the best QB we had at the time and we have all seen that. If PR was the better QB he would be our starter. This is getting old that people think that our coaches would just have a player in because they were one of the players they had picked or liked. If any coaches used that formula they would have very short careers as coaches in the NFL and to make the assumption that our coaches would do that is just plan crazy. If Gibbs coached that way he would have never won a SB and at last count he has won three.

But PR was the best QB we had at the time. He played decent last year in place of MB who looked like he was done. Then MB gets to play and it turns out he is better now.

Coaches use that formula all the time. They have guys they like or are more comfortable with and play them. Why do you think MB was signed and after last year's performance was kept on the team? These are NFL players and they all have a ton of talent so if a coach feels more comfortable with one player over another than thats why they will play.

I wonder how much of LaVar's (apparent) increased playing time is actually because of the relative strength of our opponent? Would the coaching staff take a gamble on LaVar playing within the system if we were playing Philly, or do the Niners give us a little "room for error"?

I was thinking about that as well this am. However, it might be great time to see what he can do in Williams system. If he does well, he moves closer to a starting role. If not, it won't be as costly as you said, if it were Philly.
I have also been a huge LA fan, but I also have 100% supported GW's decision regarding same. In LA's defense, it seems lately, he is trying to walk the line a little more.

What are we going to talk about now?:madani:

ade jimoh ;)

Two things make me happy about Arrington finally playing.
1. Alex Smith will get eaten alive.
2. The crowd noise when 56 comes on will be deafening.

You know that Arrington has to have the best game of his carreer.

ade jimoh ;)

I was saying in another thread that hopefully this weekend we won't have to say anything about him.

Things like, "OHMIGOD I can't believe he got burnt AGAIN."

What about his Safety that was overruled?

Lay off the Ade.

Hmmmm, sounds like he's blaming the staff to me. Nice find cpayne, I love it when people do their homework.

"In terms of the support from [team officials], it's like nothing," Arrington said before leaving Redskins Park early this afternoon. "It's like, just let me disappear and die. To me it kind of [stinks]; it [stinks], because it's not like I have a relationship built with [the coaches] anyway, because they're new and then I get hurt and every year it's always someone new [as a head coach]. Does that mean it's right the way it's being handled? . . . It makes you wonder, man, what's their agenda?"

Yeah I was too lazy to fight back on that one. I knew it was incorrect but with all the argument about this lately I have lost much of my will to beat something to death. Good find cpayne. Bravo to you sir.
