Lavar has been misused...

I understand that it's a business decision and that his being a fan favorite makes no difference, whatsoever. Which is asinine, but that's the way it is. LaVar is one of my favorite players on the team, but I'll say that he doesn't live up to the contract he's playing under. Why he isn't is up for debate, but that's not the point.

Well to be fair, Dan Snyder loved the guy once upon a time. Then Lavar and his agent brought this ridiculous grievance against the team, for which they had no evidence. So it's hard to blame Snyder for being miffed.

But Snyder is not the one who matters anymore, it's Gregg Williams. He's the one that Lavar has fallen out of favor with, and is the one Joe Gibbs listens to in regards to defensive personnel. The way Washington does business has changed drastically, it used to be Snyder pulling the strings, now it's Gibbs.

I can agree with most of that, but it kinda felt like Gregg Willaims was looking for a reason to not like LaVar. It seemed like everything he did wrong Williams felt the need to pull him off the field. That's just dumb. Walt Harris made tons of mistakes and it took an injury to get him outta the lineup. Warrick Holdman is not better than LaVar, so I'm not gonna believe that pulling him made the team better.

When did this team give up a bunch of big plays? The consecutive weeks where we played Denver and KC. Guess who was outta the lineup then. LaVar Arrington. I think this D is better with him on the field.

I can respect that. But I also respect Gregg Williams' resume.

Actually the player we missed the most was Griffin.

When he was out of the lineup the D gave up big plays left and right, once he returned things settled down.

seriously. he has to be the most boring athlete ever put in front of a camera, but he's been the D's MVP 2 years running. A 6-8 sack a year DT isn't that common (and that's through double teams while also stopping the run dead in its tracks... while walking 15 miles to school, uphill both ways).
