I know, he has fumbled.... but I'll contribute that to preseason and rookie mistakes. He's on the active roster and atleast worth a shot.

I also feel we need some more corners. Especially after the last game, we have only 4 active corners and 2 of them were hurt agianst Denver. We also have 5 safeties, and 7 Linebackers. I'm sad to say it but, if we r not going to use Lavar lets deactivate him and move up a corner from the practice squad.

Turnovers to me are about taking a risk and making a play. To me, that is what Lavar's game is all about. I think that him not being on the field with some major minutes effects the turnover ratio directly. He brings pressure to the QB's and has the ability to move from sideline to sideline effortlessly. We need to get him in there.

What does the Warpath think. Could we being using the roster better, or is coaching staff doing the right thing?

If the Redskins are 25th in total scoring that's not attributed to not scoring in the redzone. Going into the Raiders game the Redskins were 11 out of 15 in scoring TDs and that's not bad. In fact, we have scored more TD's in the redzone than any place else on field. While I understand your concern for not putting up a lot of points on teams, when they have put up 19, 21 and 35 points in losses, the defense let every team back into the game. This has to be taken into account especially when the defense is not forcing turnovers which would contribute to better field position and not having to spend so much time in long drives in the beginning of the game.
