Everyone keeps bringing this play up. He was lined up to blitz and that is what he did. He never was suppose to go to the RB. The safety or nickel back is in coverage on that play. He assignment was to blitz. Coaches said it, players said it. I do agree there are plays that he screws up on, or blows, but to blame one person like everyone blamed Walt Harris after the 1st Tampa game, Not that as a D we gave 35 or so points, but blame one guy. Like I said LaVar blew his share of plays and assignments , but that was not one of them.
