The lavar example comes to mind, this guy was the heart and soul of the skins def, they decided to make an example out of him and embarrass him, how jaded was he at the end? I think Lloyd lacks character and is a selfish player, I am not a fan of him at all. I am a skins fan #1 and I want the most talented players out there, did R. Moss fit the Patriots system? No, but they were smart enough to optimize his talents. The guy worked his a$$ off in the in off season, and barely sees the field. I have a feeling that if he makes that catch in the GB game this would not be an issue right now.

He admitted to dogging it in the Miami game after the INT in the endzone. He came right out and admitted to not hustling. For me personally that's all I would need to hear to bench a guy.

If you want more we can go back to last year, he started the first half of the season and did nothing. He had outbursts with the coaches which caused him to get benched, and he's never gotten out of the doghouse since. Pretty simple.

I agree with everything you say Matty, BL has done nothing to help himself. My problem is that a leopard does not changes its spots overnight and although I am not an expert since I didnt watch a lot of SF games when he was a niner, I suspect this has been his M-O his entire career but yet the Skins still decided to sign him. I guess maybe Gibbs thought he could change him but unfortunately he couldnt. I just think this was a bad signing from the beginning (especially considering the draft picks lost) and the Niners were glad to get rid of this guy and laughing all the way to the bank.
