LaVar will say the "right" things right now since the staff HAS to put him in. We all saw how bad Holdman was, and GW couldn't go on any longer trying to fool himself as well as us. Now Holdman has stopped talking to the press. Man these guys get bitter after getting benched. Did he actually think he was going to continue playing ahead of LaVar?

I don't understand : (1)Lavar will say the right things now because they have to play him ? .... or (2)he will say the right things now because or else - they will bench him ?
I added the rhetorical #2 question. I think we all need to get something straight - no player is above the team. If that player thinks he is above the team then it is time for that player to have an MRI on his ego or have it surgically removed, cause that sucker must be getting too big. One player doesn't make a team (ask Michael Jordan when he was playing for the Wizards) and this is a totally different issue then T.O. and whoever has a contract dispute. As fans, questioning the coaches for their personnel decisions is absurd - you don't even know what the hell is going on except what the media and the team leaks to you. Whether the reasons are an attitude adjustment, motivational issues, or player performance, you as a fan are getting a filtered and skewed image of these reasons. No one is above being benched - No One, if that is what is needed to improve them and the team.
Not saying this is the reason, but would you bench someone if you think that player is not playing to his full potential and benching him would allow him to reach it ?
And as for questioning the hall of fame, triple superbowl-winning coach - do you really think that your football and personal knowledge of the situation is greater than Gibbs ? And to me, gibbs is the team - I'd rather have it his team than having it Lavar's team. So to me personally, you either back up gibbs and the redskins or Lavar, the player - and not both. Pick one to keep or kick off: gibbs or lavar ?
