Did anyone else watch Comcast postgame? (Lavar Related)

[#56fanatic]

This not playing LaVar crap is getting out of control. Us loyal Washington Redskin fans deserve to know why he is not playing. We are paying all of their salaries, by buying and selling out everygame. We are the best fans in NFL and deserve to know why he isn't playing. I am sick of the speculation, the he said this and that crap. LaVar is a 3 time pro-bowler, he did not forget how to play football. He went through 5 different d-coordinators and still made probowl after probowl, after probowl. They keep saying he isn't disciplined enough for this D, Well dont the players love it because its more aggresive, more attack style? Isn't that what LaVar does best, attack the QB. You can not tell me, Clemons is a better pass rusher that LA, thats just not true. There is an underlying reason why he isn't playing, the salary, the knee, something. He deserves it as well as we do. this is rediculous. The man has been the face of the organization for 5 years, and now is nothing? If they are trying to trade him, going to drop him, not playing him to reduce the salary cap hit because of insentives in his contract, something has to give, and we all deserve to know what it is!!

I think the problem is the coaches have essentially told everyone why he's not playing but it's not the answer you want to hear. Williams has been consistent, he is not performing up to standards in practice. That's what he has said over and over again the past few weeks. If you don't like the answer then don't keep asking the question until you hear one you like.

Absolutely couldn't have said it better...We do deserve to know and everyone saying LaVar is not listening to the coaches and all that...that is speculation...Why does GW deserve more respect than LaVar...I love GW..dont get me wrong but I think we as the fans deserve real answers....dont you agree?

Why does GW deserve more respect than LaVar?

Are you kidding?

That's like asking why does a General deserve more respect than a soldier.

It's pretty clear why GW deserves more respect than LaVar, because he's the damn coach.

LaVar has been fighting with us longer than GW....Doesn't anyone have any loyalty out there?????

LaVar hasn't forgotten how to play football, but the problem appears to be he hasn't learned how to play football in a Gregg Williams' defense.

[#56fanatic]

He has never been in a game for them to make that judgement. I dont know why he isn't playing, and like I said I just think we all deserve an answer. Greg Williams and Joe both know more about football than all of us combined, I dont argue that, I just wish we would know the truth. Maybe I have heard it and I just dont like the answer. But, dont you admit that its hard to believe that Holman and Clemons can play better than LA, or atleast play better in Williams eyes. its just very disappointing, to see a guy who has given everything he has to this organization and is basically tossed aside. Especially someone so loved by us fans.

It's called practice.

A.I. anyone?

Let's check the definition of 'ego'

an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others

Is this really what Gibbs and the coaches are all about? Is Gibbs and co. getting off on benching Arrington just for the sake of benching a superstar??

I don't think this is about anybody's ego at all.

If anything this is all about discipline and the message that it sends the rest of the team, that it doesn't matter what your paycheck is or what your past history is, you have to earn your playing time right now and practice the way you play, and apparently LaVar isn't doing this.

[Bozzy]

LaVar isn't a team player. That's all.

[dmek25]

maybe lavar free lancing alittle right now might not be a bad thing.over the last 2 weeks there have a couple of big runs against us.you can say what you want about lavar being out of position,but i think we are all in agreement that when #56 is on the feild,he is a playmaker.as far as holdman,he is servicable but guys like him you can pick up anytime.with the question of ego,maybe its g williams with the big ego trying to prove to people that no matter who the skins trot out on defense,they will suceed because of his superior schemes

I think its lame to leave him on the bench all game if they're not going to use him. either play him or deactivate him, but there's no reason to continue to lead people on every press conference about how he'll play more next game if its not true.

At the point he becomes a distraction, then I agree. However, the one thing that nobody in this thread has touched on is Lavar's response to all this. As far as I can tell, he hasn't said anything disruptive. That's a class act. Far too many players in this league are whining "Give me the damn ball" - Lavar, more than anyone, knows this is a TEAM sport, and is committed to not letting this issue get larger than the team. Really the only question is whether his commitment is sufficient to motivate him to be the type of player he needs to be to play in GW's system. I really hope it is.

EDIT: Of course, he has expressed his desire to play. There's nothing disruptive in that, though.

I agree with this point 100%. If the coaching staff thinks LaVar is a problem for whatever reason, deactivate him and get rid of him, but don't tell me the lifetime 2nd stringer that starts at his position is playing better than he is.
