PISSING MATCH! plain and simple.

I am convinced he will have no choice but to put in Lavar ... very soon.

I have to admit the more and more it unravels with poor play by the D and mistakes missed tackles by starters, giving up big plays, no turnovers, and I know my attention is on it, but watching the game Holdman can not get off a block and they are killing us on the outside in the past 3 games. It is missed tackles but if you are getting blown out by blockers that is just as bad as missing the tackle. To many excuses, I am tired of hearing Lavar is not ready and getting better evidently some of the starters need to improve.

It is kind of funny though, people are saying they hate Gregg Williams and such. I am concerned about our defense giving up some big plays - that needs to be fixed! However, I'm not going to go so far as to crap on Gregg Williams. If the defense continues with a downward spiral, then I'll pile on - but GW is much too good of a defensive coordinator to allow that to happen.

In Gibbs Pressconference when someone asked about Lavar, Gibbs said " I've already updated everyone on that and my thoughts."


Seriously, why dont we just inactivate him and get it overwith. Its clear to me that they have some type of personal bias against Arrington, which could verywell be warrented.

[NYCSkin]

At this point it is inevitable that LaVar will be inactivated soon. At least then the Skins can sign a kickoff specialist since Novak cannot get his kickoffs to the opps 10 yard line.
I do think there were some instances in this game that a sideline to sideline LB would have helped...

[NYCSkin]

While I agree the turnover battle is the reason why we lost the game--it highlights the fact that we need some sort of disruptive type player on defense (besides Taylor) that can cause turnovers.
I think our defense is fundamentally sound but does not necessarily strike FEAR in the hearts of offensive coordinators. I mean are there any players on our defense that offensive coordinators need to gameplan against? Other than Taylor?

[skinsguy]

Even though this is a plug in play type of defense, it does take a couple special players to make a difference.

I thought he has always said he would play ST's. He said anything to get on the field...

This guy is/was the face of the Redskins. He is in the public eye. When people ask him why he isn't playing, what is he supposed to say.

[skins052bgr8]

Lavar has got to be just as confused as we are, maybe he is telling the truth with I am not sure what I need to do to get in the game. Post game comments by GW have me still lost as hell, because players are getting beat so the discipline card or best players card is running out why he is not playing. Gibbs says you can help this team, I have to ask how, when you do not get on the field? Gibbs is out of this he says he trust what the defense coaches are doing, but GW is sounding more and more ignorant when he says week after week he is getting better, but sees less and less playing time. I know he is a great coach and I am not questioning that, but if he is not going to play a down and is playing that bad he should not even be a back up and deactivated and a linebacker who can at least get in some type of rotation and contribute and end this damn mess with why is our most athletic player on the bench and can't be plugged in during 3rd and longs like you said are his packages. I am sure Holdman is coming out who is going in to give him a breather when he is tired?

[EternalEnigma21]

Hell, put him in a running back. See if he can hang on to the ball.

[EternalEnigma21]

You know what I'm gonna hate... if we never give arrington the opportunity to play, and he goes to denver, or dallas, or somewhere like that. We once again will look like the biggest bunch of douchebags in the league, cause he'll go to the freaking hall of fame.

This whole think with LA is really sickening. The defense is struggling right now and there's no way you can argue that he wouldn't help the team if he were allowed to play. We aren't getting to the QB and we aren't causing fumbles. And the coaches want us to believe that LA can't contribute positively to either problem?

I really am beginning to think this whole thing has become somewhat of an ego struggle between LA and the defensive coaches. Shame on them both, but more shame on the coaches because they're supposed to be making decisions in the team's best interests and, in this case, I definitely do not believe that they are.

It's a disgrace to see LA sitting on the bench at every game. And I'm tired of hearing the lame excuses that we get each week. Do they really think the fans are so ignorant as to believe the **** that they are feeding us as to why he isn't playing?

well said!!!!!

Lavar on the bench is really know surprise, he was the most overated player in football, except now everyone knows it.

Lavar doesn't know why he's not playing? Just like he doesn't know how to follow direction when he's on the field.

I find it laughable that everyone will follow Gibbs blindly regardless of how irrational some of his decisions may look, yet question over and over again why Lavar isn't on the field, he's an overhyped media darling who's football instinkts are horrible, he's not a LB who can overpower a TE or OL on a pass rush ala LT, so how much difference will he really make? The LB's we have now can get to the QB if their given a clean shot at the QB.

Bottom line take a look at the track record's of the people who all concur on Lavar, William's, Lewis, and Paterno, they all have said the same thing's about Lavar, and I am sure they were being kind in their assesments for public consumption.
