Not bashing LaVar, but where was he?

His energy is usually on display between the sidelines. He's not the kind of guy that gets up in your face to pump you up on the sidelines.

Another thing that people are forgetting is that LaVar was probably still on meds which put him in a *happier* place.

I would like to chime in on this. let me start by saying I am really not worried to much about being 1 and 2. Like Lavar said it is growing pains and beleive they will turn it around. I love the skins and even if they were 0 and 3 I would beleive whatever lavar said. But He is the leader of that team, and as the leader should be on the sidelines coaching players and keeping team moral up. I know I watched the game they did not quite, but the defense did give up a few big crucial plays. I have had many surgerys on my knees including a complete tear of the meniscus and they only time i was in a wheel chair was immediately after the surgery when they wheeled me to my car. I was on crutches for 3 days, and was playing football 2 weeks later (granted I was young) so I know he could have been on that sideline. If he was up there to visit or whatever that is fine he visits and then rejoins his team. Now as for Jansens injury that was a serious injury that did put him in a wheel chair so I understand why he is not on the sideline, but I would expect him to be down there in a few weeks once the injury as heeled and he is able to walk on crutches or whatever. I am not questioning Lavars heart or his energy or his leadership skills or anything. All I am saying is if that was me, being the leader I would want to be with the troops. I know i would have been on that sideline. I know lavar bleeds burgundy and gold just giving my opinion.

i think he should have had his ass on the sidelines personally helping the guys that were able to play.i love lavar,but you would never see LT or ray lewis in the owners box laughing during a g**d**N game against a hated rival like dallas.he could have meet whomever after the game.he should have had his ass on the sideline like mike barrow.not bashing LA,but he screwed the pooch on that one guys.

In what way did he screw this one up? If he was in the owners box with Dan the man you may see a player lording it up but I see a player showing he is not totally at odds with the ownership. Yes he could have been on the sideline, he could have been anywhere in the damn stadium but by being where was said more about how he feals about the team and owner with who he is due to go to arbitration with later next month

That's what I would want to do, could help him become a better LB, by giving him a different perspective of how an offense tries to attack his position.

[skinsfanthru&thru]

I just want him relaxing and getting healthy enough to be back on the field and if he can also use this to help repair the damaged relationship between him and Snyder then I'm all for it. It's not like he's really mobile now and what would any body bringing this up say if he had been on the sideline and maybe couldnt get out of the way of someone barreling out of bounds fast enough and caused his injury to become something that kept him out the rest of the year? I say get off his back, he's the captain of our defense for a reason.

you guys sound like fools, lmao, arrington should be on the sidelines.

first of all, they dont need him threre from what i see, 50 yards total rushing. second, cowboys were handed a TD and lavar couldnt have stopped that emotionally or helped emotionally. third, it looked like our secondary got beat more than the lb's in that game. pierce had one bad play but with no help on the outside in the endzone. and washington had a slip up on that third down conversion that the TE for the cowboys caught and ran for the 1st that pretty much clinched it. so how does this fall into lavars hands when the run D gave up 50 yards the whole game??? we were two pass interference calls away from you not giving a damn.

[That Guy]

we only needed one of those calls, not two

lemar just isn't that hot though... its a big drop off.

sorry guys,when i saw him he was jumping around with a drink in his hand.i'm not bashing him,but he did not need to be doing that shit.i have yet to see jansen doing anything but watching the game and looking very pissed he can't play.
