As for the injury, this is the NFL. He should get more than a couple plays a game, even if he's hurt.

As for his attitude, its obvious anyone who plays in the nfl should want to play and be upset if he's not. This guy has played hurt for us many, many times and probably not gotten the respect for it. He probably is a little sensative sometimes but this guy has a ton of heart and is a true redskin.

And...he probably should be explained how they want to "easy him in" or if they are just not going to play him b/c they feel he freelances too much. He is one of the most tenured skins on the team.

All of this runs contrary to his statements last year when he complained that the coaches rushed him back after his injury too early.

Sometimes, it seems like it's hard to please LaVar.

lavar has his reasons, for instance in that arbitration, he felt they wronged him, therefore he did what he had to do, but in the end it got settled peacefully. he's not a selfish man, taking those people to walmart speaks for itself. sadly now, he's not being used to his full potential, and he's not a bitch. what the hell did he do to deserve this treatment? now taylor's a stud who gives his all? yeah i figured, that's why he took the law into his own hands and put a gun to some guy's face. i'm getting sick of all you lavar haters, for all the things he does for the fans you'd think he get the tiniest ounce of respect. did you ever think lavar just decided bah, i don't have to learn the playbook, no. maybe he thinks he's ready, but the coaches think he isn't. and did the thought ever cross your mind that in gregg williams scheme, the plays for lavar are designed so he can freelance and still make plays?

Whoa, cowboy (no punned intended), I thought Taylor still had to stand trial on his situation. So why are you saying he pointed a gun to someone's face....and he's only been accused at this point?

Sorry 12th Man but Taylor should have the smarts to not even put himself in that situation, he has too much at stake. I partly agree with you everyone has a right to a fair trial and you are innocent until proven guilty. Still any adult needs to use better judgement and not risk your life and livlihood. If this ends up self-defence, that is one thing, but because Taylor has a track record now of getting into trouble it is cause for concern. How many times do you have to see smoke before there is a fire?

are you trying to say that taylor didn't pull a gun? because everyone who watches football knows that taylor did put a gun to some dude's face. i believe he will be found not guilty, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he did it. he shouldn't even have gotten into that situation in the first place, he should've told the police and let them go after the guy that stole his atv's. but that's beside the point, the guy who made the original post was riding taylor's dick like HE was a perennial pro bowler who's made big time plays for us when we needed them.

and you know this how? were you riding shotgun with him at the time? You can believe whatever you want, but that doesn't make it right or true, and there's NO way you can know what he did or didn't do for sure, because you weren't there.

Exactly. That's all I was saying. Unless we were there, or have concrete evidence, we shouldn't be throwing around things like "taylor pointed a gun at someone's face" or whatever the case may be.

How do you come to these conclusions? I expect better from you dude.

I agree with you 100%

LAVAR could get more pressure on QBs playing a one man front than all four of our starters

That Guy · 09-25-2005, 08:47 AM

back to the original post, i heard the entire interview yesterday (replayed) and he said if you ask anyone, of course they're not happy when they're not playing, but winning is far more important than anything else, and we won... that's a paraphrase anyways.

EternalEnigma21 · 09-25-2005, 10:08 PM

either way, I'm getting antsy to see Arrington and Taylor and Washington and Griffin all on the field at the same time. Our DE's need a bit of work, but our seconday is crucial. I just really wanna see some big plays on defense. We havent really had to many. I know wins are what matters, but big D plays couldnt hurt.

EternalEnigma21 · 09-25-2005, 10:25 PM

BTW yeah that was arrington in the first play that ran JJ down from behind, but when they introduced the starting D on TV they announced holdman, marshall, and washington.

Defensewins · 09-26-2005, 09:01 AM

Lavar may say is is 100% healthy, but he is not playing like the old Lavar. It may be psychological and not physical, but he must be favoring his bad knee.
Lavar is not playing up to the level before his knee injury. From what I have seen him play this preseason and regular season, his point of attack ability is fine, but his speed and ability to cut is not like before. He is not coming around the corner (around the OT) with the speed needed to make a diffrence. His pass rush skills are not yet there, he has been some what of a non-factor when in the game.
Maybe the coaches feel the guys they are using instead of Lavar are dong a better job for now, until Lavar gets his wheels back.

"As long as we're winning, I guess I can't complain too much," said the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker, who started but played just a handful of snaps. "You know how I am. I want to be out there trying to make a difference. I want to help. I thought the whole plan was to ease me back in, but that hasn't turned out to be true."

Wow, a guy who wants to earn his money and play and help the team anyway he can.........what a dick! Boy, you Lavar haters really got me there.
