Yup, exactly.

Great to see Lavar on the field and playing very well Sunday. I think with his team leading tackles and his ferocius tendencies we'll see alot more of him in the weeks to come. I hope his knee is ready. Look forward to the next 2 weeks. HUGE games. Gee, funny how Gibbs and Williams seem to know what they're doing right now... I love our TEAM!!!

Luxorreb: I don't think this was a question about the knee as much as it was Arrington's willingness to play within Williams' system and do his job. And as far as Williams and Gibbs knowing what their doing, I don't really think they're doing much different from last year- just dictating to the players that they are coaches and they will direct the team.

lavar , i missed you. you are the emontional leader of the d, and now that you have submited to the d coach. skys the limit at what you and this can accomplish.great game.

LaVar is only going to get better as the year goes on...

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I agree. People REALLY just LOVE the "told-ya-so".

We're all friends here, just be satisfied in your mind if you feel the need to call people out. Otherwise things will get ugly and it'll be negative things to read through when we just won fifty-freakin'-two to seventeen!! WOOHOO.

I am one to say the "told ya so" I couldn't wait to get on here today and see what all of "trade LaVar, sit him, cut him" people had to say. you know who you are, and I remember who you are. I have been the most outspoken supporter of LA since all this crap started happening. I just hope its not an allusion, and Gibbs and Co. have him sitting again next week.

LA looked awesome. He was all over the field. and how bout this, only played about 20 snaps, maybe 50%, and still led the team in tackles. The man is a beast, and I will gladly accept all apologies from those who dogged me and railcon56 over the last several weeks!!
GREAT GAME TEAM!!!

LaVar needs to be playing and all the time. I wonder if we wouldn't be 5-1 or
6-0 had he been playing during the two losses. Oh well, we'll never know. I'm just glad he's finally been allowed out of the doghouse. I didn't agree with the decision to bench him and couldn't understand why it was being done. But, hopefully, that's history now. We need him now because the opponents only get tougher.

It'll be hard for the coaching staff to use the "he's not getting it" excuse after a performance like that. Holdman has 14 total tackles on the season, averaging about 2.2 per game... LaVar had 9 total tackles yesterday, hmmm...

And just so you know, you're never going to hear an apology for the LaVar haters because everyone will magically forget the remarks they made about the defense being better without him, or him being overrated, etc. Just be happy that he's playing and playing well.

[railcon56]

LaVar did the talking like i knew he would!!!! No need to say anything for me...Except you saw a tired rusty LaVar yesterday who didnt even play the whole game.... Stay Tuned!!! The Giants and Eagles have to change their whole offensive game plans ...now that Mr. Arrington is back!!!!

That's funny. I didn't name anyone specifically, but since I'm being called out, here you go.

Sorry for picking on skinsguy and bigstar, because about 90% of you made this kind of comment. Theirs were just the most direct that I found. And many others masked their comments with phrases like "I like LaVar, but...", so I left those out. As I said, everyone magically forgets the comments they made dissing LaVar and his ability, but if everyone agreed on the subject, why were the LaVar threads 20 pages long?

As a side note, I could care less if anyone retracts anything they said about LaVar. I was just explaining to #56fanatic not to expect any. Although, I do think it's funny that many of the Brunell haters(myself included) were more than willing to accept that we were wrong about him, but no one wants to admit that they were the least bit wrong about LaVar.

[PSUSkinsFan21]

I've never supported the decision to sit Lavar, and this game makes my point for me. He's a playmaker, he makes things happen, and he should be on the field 100% of the time. Period.

We can speculate that his play against the 9ers was inspired by his recent benching.....maybe that's the case, maybe it's not. I honestly don't care as long as #56 gets on the field.

I will say this, however. The way he played yesterday makes me wish he was in there to chase down Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson, and Tatum Bell in our last two losses. I'm just saying...

[hail_2_da_skins]

If anyone doubts what "56" brings to the table needs to look at the 49ers game again. The enthusiasm that he brings to the defense is infectious. The D-line, linebackers and secondary was flying to the ball. The whole defense played at a higher level. Welcome home Levar! Look out Eli!
