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?
