How bout it Lavar
 

How bout that Lavar doubters! Damn I love this guy. monsterous.He will be back next year bank on it.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

I hope so.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Nobody is doubting LaVar, well maybe a few.

I just don't see him back for financial reasons, but we'll see.

Nice to see him come up big in a big game, we needed that.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

I think he will be. It makes too much sense to keep him.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

He ll be back did you see the interview at the end of the game. The passion for the burg. and gold was comin out of him.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

His stock went up a whole lot after this game, so chances are we could get more for him in a trade than we could have last week. However, I think that's exactly why we'll keep him.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

I think Lavar stepped up today. He did a good job for us, and he made big plays. If our defense hadn't played as good as they did today, it would've easily been a loss given our offensive ineptitude. Thank you lavar, for stepping up when it mattered the most.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

I'm curious where all the talk of how "we don't need him to win" went?

FYI, his numbers on the day were: 10 tackles, 1 pick and 1 forced fumble.

He played great - no doubt. I wouldn't go too crazy saying he's irreplaceable, though. I could have grabbed that INT. He played within the system, as far as I could tell, and did it very well.

[SIZE=5]Great job, Lavar!!![/SIZE]

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

When did he force a fumble? I checked the stats and it said he had a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, but i don't remember seeing that.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

LA comes up big in a big game. So did the rest of the D.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Truly great players step up in the post-season.

Lavar did just that. He proved just WHY he's been a multi-year Pro Bowl player.

I hope that the management and coaching staff re-assess his importance to the team. I sure want him back.

He didn't - it was Washington.

He forced a fumble on Pittman early on, but the Bucs got it back.

Ah - OK.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

lavar played a great game he was all over the field.....

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Does anyone know why Lavar introduced himself by his high school and not Penn State at the beginning of the game? I thought that was odd...

yeah that was strange..maybe giving props to his high school...taking care of the hometown

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Note to Lavar: See what happens when you play within the scheme? He was in position and that's why he landed the INT right in his lap. If he'd been chasing someone else or trying to bullrush when he wasn't called upon to, he wouldn't have been able to make the play. Of course, Lavar proved that he wasn't the brightest bulb on the christmas tree when he jumped offsides on a 3rd and 5 to give TB a first down - keeping TB's drive alive and leading to three points.

All said, Lavar did end up having a good game, and he has been a positive locker room influence. Gotta be excited for the guy who's been waiting 6 years to get to the playoffs. I want to belive he wants to be here next year, but i don't see him willing to renegotiate his deal after the ugliness that transpired between him and the skins management.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

he played great... and I love the guy, but does he look bigger than he used to? Maybe married life is getting to him or something, but he doesn't look as lean as he did before last season.

[QUOTE=PorterHouse]He ll be back did you see the interview at the end of the game. The passion for the burg. and gold was comin out of him.[/QUOTE]

Actually he seemed a little high to me! LOL

Maybe just high on life, but high regardless!

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

He did have that big INT, but he also had another silly offsides penalty on 3rd and 5 extending a drive for the Bucs. He's got to get more disciplined there

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

I think he acknowledged his hig school as a jab at Joe Pa and Penn State. In the lates issue of the Warpath he says he thinks the whole thing of him being a "freelance lins backer" and not playing in the scheme is due to Paterno. Apparently he said it early in Lavar's career and it has haunted him. I thoiugh he played an inspired game and with out the tipped pass and interception the whole copmplexion of the game could have been vastly different given our offensive out put for the day.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

He played well but he wasn't a phenom. Marcus Washington was more of a game changer than LaVar (and yes, LaVar was in the right place at the right time to make the interception).

I don't think anybody hates Lavar or thinks he's a crappy player - I just don't get the "fall down and worship at his feet" attitude of some fans.

Seriously, where are the props for Marcus? He strips the ball and has the presence of mind to keep playing on so we score a touchdown. He seals the victory with an interception. He rocked and is clearly the best LB on our defense.

I'm with you on this JR. Honestly I think a lot of the reason MW doesn't get enough love is that he's not out there on ever pre and post-game show talking about how much he loves the fans, and loves the city, blah blah blah. Even though I'm sure he does. Plus LaVar is "one of our own" since he was a draft pick.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

MW has been making those kinds of plays all year, LaVar finally makes one and everyone goes nuts.

I agree that Marcus Washington had a hell of a game, but if you want to get technical, he was in the right place at the right time for the pick at the end of the game. And his strip and recovery was nice, but he almost gave it right back to the Buc's, if not for the athleticism of Sean Taylor.

I agree. Worshipping LaVar is a bit overboard, but so is acting as though he's only a troublemaker, and not a team player(not that you do, but there are plenty that do).

did ya ever play footall and get excited.... your looking for things to pick it was a 5 yard penalty big deal...... he also led the team in tackles and he was all over the field ..... so whatever with the silly penalty it wasnt that big of a deal

Marcus wasn't this game... he was non existant befre the sack.... lavar was everywhere... he stepped up give him his due... he came to play...that's what bigtime players do....

NO - it was a big deal. That's the point. Lavar makes a great play followed by a bonehead play. Fortunately the defense stepped up and covered for him giving away a crucial first down. Sorry - if he gets recognition for the good stuff then fess up and admit that the was a classic dumb Lavar mistake.

Again, MW is hyped every f***ing play - When was the last time you saw him jump offsides?

To win at the highest level it takes everybody doing all the little things right. No freebies for the other team. That's what Gibbs has been preaching, that's what the majority of the players seem to understand and that's why we are in the playoffs.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

funny how u pick 1 play and call a guy it thats crazy..it was one play it happens when ur hyped....but he more than made up for it.....

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Maybe we gained some insight as to why GW normally pulls LaVar on 3rd downs??

Non-existent? Didn't he have 10 tackles, a deflection and a forced fumble and fumble recovery. And like JoeRedskin says the offsides on LaVar is a big deal. For one thing I believe it helped keep a Bucs drive alive that led to 3 points. And secondly, he was pumped up isn't that great an excuse. Who's not pumped up? If LaVar wants to be considered one of the best, one of the first things he has to work on is being consistenly solid, if not great.

Marcus wasn't the game? What do you mean? that other players played on defense - well of course. But MW has just as many tackles (including solos) as LaVar and was (in the words of the announcers) "a wrecking ball".

LA had a good game. Great interception. good presence. but sorry - play for play - MW is the best LB we got playing and it isn't even close. When lavar can play with MW's discipline and be trusted to play every down - then let's talk.

Again, I am not a Lavar hater - I think he's a freakish talent who can make game breaking plays. I also think he can be (and has) been a game breaker for the other team.

go ahead and delude yourself in your lavar worship but give props where they are due.

Dude, that's a total LaVar homer comment.

Get off his sack, jeez.

MW was all over the place and had just as many tackles.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Im felt so good for Lavar he has been fun to watch all these years when we were not that good. It felt good to see him in the interview enjoying himself in the playoffs espically after how this year stated.
With that said I still think that they will release him. I hope not but the NFL is a cold business.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Lavar palyed a fine game. Whether or not he's back next year is another question. As a fan, I'm willing to pretend he's Mr. Redskin for 3 more games. I think he could be huge against Seattle next week. For now he's our guy. We should get behind him 100% and leave any negative discusions for the long boring offseason. There will be plenty of time for it then.


By the way, some have fairly asked why Lavar has a special place for Redskins fans. I don't know that I am in that category, but I was at FedEx Field in October of 2001 when the Redskins were abou to go 0-6. I was sitting there bitching and moaning when Lavar singlehandedly lifted that team on his shoulders and they won the game. I kind of understand what he means when he says loyalty is a two way street.

Anyways he'll get my love the rest of this year, then it's all business.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Coming from one of Lavar's biggest fans, I'd say Marcus Washington is the heart of this defense without hesitation. Best FA acquisition (alongside GW and Griffin) of the past few years.

Re: How bout it Lavar
 

Marcus without a doubt, WITHOUT A DOUBT, outplayed Lavar today, he is by far our best LB, Lavar made 1 big play, and that was the INT, and the pepsi machine could have made that one, a deflected pass right into his sturnum real tough, he also looked like he was running in slow motion for the end zone.

Where's the big time pass rush? Where's the big play ability? I am glad he made that INT but lets be realistic, just about anyone on this site could have made that play, he was just in the right place at the right time, not a common occurance for Lavar.

Lavar doesn't sack the QB, he doesn't even pressure him, he's supposed to be a difference maker, HE'S NOT!

Marcus turned in the play of the game on the 4th and 1 in the red zone late in the game, he forced Simms to throw an incomplete pass, that was the play that turned the momentum for us. [the dropped pass in the end zone was the biggest turning point but we didn't create that, tampa shot themselves in the foot]

itvnetop, I from I'm from LA too is there a sports bar where the L.A. redskin fans watch games?
