I'm just curious why I haven't seen you take part in any discussion when we're winning?

Sorry, but I call it like I see it. I don't for a minute believe that the excuses we're hearing are the full story behind all of this. Maybe that's part of the reason he's warming the bench, but I'll never believe that GW truly thinks LaVar is the 6th string (or worse) linebacker on this team. Come on, worse than Holdman? Do YOU honestly believe that? If you are being honest, you would have to say "no". And saying "no" implies that the coaches haven't been truthful as the full story of why he's not playing.

I also think LaVar hasn't helped his case by being so public in his comments. Both sides have drawn a line in the sand and I don't know how things will ever get turned around again between LaVar and his coaches.

Bottom line is - I believe we're a far better "D" when he's in the game. He has already proven he can get sacks, lead the team in tackles, and force turnovers. This year, the "D" seems incapable of doing #1 and #3. Put the man in and let him contribute where this "D" seems to be lacking.

Andy Polen ran the numbers on yesterday's Sports Reporters show on WTEM concerning LA being a big turnovers guy and the numbers show he is not the turnover guy the fans think he is. He has about 3 INTs for his career and in the year he played 14 games for Marty he had zero forced fumbles. The bottom line is that LA is not the turnover machine he is perceived to be.

That said I do think he should be in the game for more than 2 special teams plays.

Trent Green said all that needs to be said regarding this. Teams have to game plan for LaVar, he is that kind of difference maker. Then you add Taylor to the mix and they are that much more dangerous. When he learned he didn't have to worry about LaVar chasing him down, or RBs, or hitting his WR across the middle, it put him at ease. The man hasn't even been on the field this year and teams still inquire if he is playing and game plan accordingly. The other teams have that much respect for him, but our coaches dont. Boy we are making teams game planning alot easier dont you think. I didn't hear they are gameplanning against Holdman, or Marshall.

If I recall, didn't he lead the team in tackles for at least 1 or 2 years or else he was the #2 tackler for a year or two? He also is one of the few players we have right now who has proven he can get to the QB. Right now, I will gladly take someone, anyone who can get to the QB.

T-minus 9mins till Lavar gets on 980am and starts crying again.......

I am sure somebody will post his comments, but just in case PLEASE POST HIS COMMENTS!! I am in Charlotte NC and cant listen to the show.


Stats from last year. LaVar first two games, 15 tackles 1 sack. this year Holdman 5 games, 12 tackles, no sacks. boy, what a stud!

Interesting comments on NFL.com. scroll down to week 6 hits, the ananlyst says its personal and then quotes trent green, "the mans a beast" then quotes Gonzales "they would be alot better if he was on the field" "he is one of the best LB in the game" Coming from people that have faced him or atleast play the game realize what a mistake it is for him to be sitting the bench.

Well if Trent Green says put him in than what are we waiting for?????? If only we could fire Gibbs and have Trent and Tony G coach us up!
