Hmmm... It will be hard for him to make the Pro Bowl on the bench. So, as long as the defense is playing really well without him, what is the motivation for the Skins to put him on the field?
If the defense stumbles, they'll go to him for help; but until then, it won't surprise me to see Arrington on the field for less than a dozen snaps of the ball.

I hope you're not implying that he isn't on the field for any reason other than a performance issue. I could make the opposite argument that they're paying him way too much to sit the bench but who honestly believes he isn't playing because of contract issues? I am worried he is on the bench because that knee, while healed, isn't the same as it was before and now he can't get the job done. I would be stunned beyond belief if it came out they were sitting him for anything other than performance issues.
