He had a bum knee and he didn't follow his defensive assignments, so he got benched. Exhibit B: Adam Archuletta. Some said he was in the coach's doghouse, so they benched him. Truth of the matter, Adam Archuletta sucks, which is why the Chicago's injury riddled defense just benched his ass. If a player can play, and wants to play, then they are put in the game. Lloyd just doesn't care, he made his money and now he just doesnt' care, so he doesn't perform to his highest level.

I believe that unlike Archuleta, Lloyd has serious NFL skills. If he would just get his head on straight, I'm sure he would make plays to help the team. Campbell made a reference to Lloyd's recent hard work in practice, so perhaps he's making an honest effort to win back the trust of his coaches and teammates. I'm really hoping that the Skins can get some value out of the guy after giving up a 3rd and a 4th to get him. The big mistake was giving him a big bonus up front when he still had a year on his contract.
