i know its hard to freelance on offence, clark and riggins were characters that did their own thing at times and came up huge in the clutch.
i understand the whole concept of a "team scheme" but no one will tell me that Phillip daniels and Wynn are better defensive ends on 3rd and 10 than lavar. you cant waste that kind of talent. if he is a free lancer, atleast use him on situations where he has one role(KILL THE GOD DAMN QUARTERBACK).

I am glad you said this, when Gibbs wanted Riggins everyone was worried about his attitude the its my way or no way. And Gibbs has always had the knack of getting through to players that in others peoples eyes are trouble. Dexter Manley is a prime example. Former player always say what a great motivator Gibbs is, he gets the most and even more for players.
Another good point was the guy that said Holdman is so bad that if he is in position, his ass is getting blown up and taken out of the play. That has been my sticking point with all this crap. Who cares if Holdman is in position, the fact is he has 12 FREAKIN TACKLES in 5 games,(and not only him)but majority of the big plays we are giving up, the screen, some of the long runs in the Seattle game, Denver and KC all have been to the right side of defense. I am not saying LaVar would have stopped them all, but I would bet he would have stopped more big plays than sorry ass Holdman has. Again, 12 tackles in 5 games, thats being in position!! LaVar last year in first two games, 15 tackles, 1 sack, thats being out of position!!.
