He is not hype, and I dont think neither you or I can say what he has or lacks in "football instinks". This guy has played football his entire life, and we are chatting on a fan website, so lets be real. The man is in his prime, as far as his age, and went through a very bad injury to come back from. He has worked his tail off to be able to contribute to this team and I believe he should be given every opportunity to do so. Look at Urlacher, Zack Thomas, these guys have an injury and dont lose their jobs. I dont see how LaVar can lose his when he was injured. Do you honostly believe he has been given a chance to prove his ability in the defense?

Pro-bowls are a big time popularity contest, how many guy's don't get voted in because they are quite and keep out of the headlines [C.Griffen]? Lavar is the opposite, and that's what they want at the pro-bowl personalities, if he didn't come into the league with such hype, and wasen't picked so high, kept his mouth shut and produced the same would he be a 2 time pro-bowler? His best season was at end under Lewis when he managed 11 sacks.
I really don't put much stock in a player making the pro bowl, I want to see production on the field, he's finally being called out as a football player by Williams and he's failing miserably!
