When he did it on a regular basis he ended up w/ 11 sacks, he was trying to prove to GW that he should be out there on 3rd down and jumped. There are alot of players in the NFL that jump offsides trying to get a jump on the snap, Strahan does it. Rice does, so are they boneheads too? Or is it just because its LaVar. Funny how you people talk about one 5 yard play and not the 10 tackles, the INT to set up the TD, or the forced fumble. That is a little harsh.

Who's hating? All I said was that LaVar needs to be more consistent.

Marcus wasn't the game? What do you mean? that other players played on defense - well of course. But MW has just as many tackles (including solos) as LaVar and was (in the words of the announcers) "a wrecking ball".

LA had a good game. Great interception. good presence. but sorry - play for play - MW is the best LB we got playing and it isn't even close. When lavar can play with MW's discipline and be trusted to play every down - then let's talk.

Again, I am not a Lavar hater - I think he's a freakish talent who can make game breaking plays. I also think he can be (and has) been a game breaker for the other team.

go ahead and delude yourself in your lavar worship but give props where they are due.

Dude, that's a total LaVar homer comment.

Get off his sack, jeez.

MW was all over the place and had just as many tackles.

Lavar palyed a fine game. Whether or not he's back next year is another question. As a fan, I'm willing to pretend he's Mr. Redskin for 3 more games. I think he could be huge against Seattle next week. For now he's our guy. We should get behind him 100% and leave any negative discusions for the long boring offseason. There will be plenty of time for it then.


By the way, some have fairly asked why Lavar has a special place for Redskins fans. I don't know that I am in that category, but I was at FedEx Field in October of 2001 when the Redskins were abou to go 0-6. I was sitting there bitching and moaning when Lavar singlehandedly lifted that team on his shoulders and they won the game. I kind of understand what he means when he says loyalty is a two way street.

Anyways he'll get my love the rest of this year, then it's all business.

Marcus without a doubt, WITHOUT A DOUBT, outplayed Lavar today, he is by far our best LB, Lavar made 1 big play, and that was the INT, and the pepsi machine could have made that one, a deflected pass right into his sturnum real tough, he also looked like he was running in slow motion for the end zone.

Where's the big time pass rush? Where's the big play ability? I am glad he made that INT but lets be realistic, just about anyone on this site could have made that play, he was just in the right place at the right time, not a common occurance for Lavar.

Lavar doesn't sack the QB, he doesn't even pressure him, he's supposed to be a difference maker, HE'S NOT!

Marcus turned in the play of the game on the 4th and 1 in the red zone late in the game, he forced Simms to throw an incomplete pass, that was the play that turned the momentum for us. [the dropped pass in the end zone was the biggest turning point but we didn't create that, tampa shot themselves in the foot]

Geez Offis, I can't believe I gotta set you straight AGAIN. According to NFL.com game stats, Lavar and Washington both had 7 tackles, 2 assists and an INT. How exactly is that Marcus "without a doubt" outplaying Lavar? Good god man, do some research before you start talking.

I am NOT denegrating Marcus Washington's play - the guy has been a beast all year long and without a doubt our MVP at the linebacker position, and yes, he's outplayed Lavar most of the year.

Why can't we, whether we like Lavar or not, admit when a guy has a good game? I mean what's the problem? You want to take away his INT just because he was "in the right place at the right time?" That's what football is all about. I don't care if you made a 15 foot vertical leap or just happened to look up at the right time and get the pick, the result is you got the INT. This BS about it being so easy it doesn't count or your grandmother/dog/aunt/wife/you could've done it is just so freakin' retarded. Go suit up and get on the field yourself and make that play before you spout off that it was so easy. People who have never played the game spouting off about how easy it is...

Marcus Washington AND Lavar Arrington both had excellent games (with identical stats) and it resulted in a playoff win - why the hell can't we just let that be?

this is the reason i started this thread, are you kidding me , with Lavar we have one of the best linebacking cores in the league. second to denver. without Lavar we just have a Greg Williams system doin what it always does... work. and thats not a problem at all. but this team needs Lavar. he's definatly a threat and offenses have to account for him. if you noticed after the first half have we rarely blitzed at all and when we did blitz they were run blitzes and when we run blitz Lavar is covering the te. if we wanna talk about an easy interception. the interception that ended the game was right in there also. im mean come on with Lavar in there we add to our threats on defense, and it gives Sean Taylor more of a chance to run around and drop the hammer on someone. You know we all love to see that. I say keep Lavar and we have the #1 defense next year.

I would agree, out of the three LBs Marcus is playing the best. But you have to give credit to all 3 lbs today. They all played a really good game. LaVar and Marcus had identical games pretty much, so how one could out play the other , I dont know. But if that is what they do, or LaVar and Marcus do for the rest of the post season, I'll take it every week.

MW has been making those kinds of plays all year, LaVar finally makes one and everyone goes nuts.

[railcon56]

funny how u pick 1 play and call a guy it thats crazy..it was one play it happens when ur hyped....but he more than made up for it.....

[MTK]

Maybe we gained some insight as to why GW normally pulls LaVar on 3rd downs??

[Beat the Cowboys]

Im felt so good for Lavar he has been fun to watch all these years when we were not that good. It felt good to see him in the interview enjoying himself in the playoffs espically after how this year stated.
With that said I still think that they will release him. I hope not but the NFL is a cold business.

[itvnetop]

Coming from one of Lavar's biggest fans, I'd say Marcus Washington is the heart of this defense without hesitation. Best FA acquisition (alongside GW and Griffin) of the past few years.
