He didn't play every snap as a DE that year.

I think Joepa created a monster in college in Lavar, by letting him free lance and make spectacular plays in college, Lavar has that stuck in his brain and thinks that will translate on this level as well and doesn't want to hear otherwise.

He had problem's with Lewis and now Williams, both who know a little about defense.

When he was drafter by the Redskins, thats what they wanted him to do. Thats why they called him the next LT. they gave him #56. He was trying to be something they wanted him to be. Now and when Marvin was here, they try to get him to be more disciplined and I think he is learning, but when you have been able to do things like he was asked to do, do basically line up and go get the QB or just go after the ball its hard to say, fill that gap, if they dont run there, your team-mate will be there to cover the other gap. I agree that he does or did gamble a little too much year before last, but seriously, the D was in the bottom of the league and he was trying to make plays when nobody else was capable.

Good point and I think that is why we will see more and more of him as the season progresses. Once he starts playing w/in the system in practice for a couple of weeks, it will be hard for Williams to keep him out of the lineup.

Actually he did, Marvin Lewis wanted him to play with a hand down on some 3rd downs and LaVar did not like it. However, he did play in the system the way Lewis asked of him and he had 11 sacks and a pro bowl year. Which leads me to believe if Williams wants him to play a certain,way LaVar would do it weither or not he was a fan of the system.
