Lavar will always be a skin in my mind. Not to rehash things too much but it was not his lack of talent that got him the boot, nor was it "assignment disclipline". It was many things aligned against him in the new regime, too much for a grizzled vet who had to carry the defense on his back for 5 years to start slobbering all over the new egomaniacal defensive coordinator.
Funny that G Williams favorite excuse for benching Lavar was for playing too loose and not adhering to his detailed schemes and now this year thinks that the defense needs to play more loose and has simplified the schemes to allow more of the players natural ability and talent to shine through.
"Williams, who declined to comment for this story, told players this offseason that he plans to get his best players to the point of attack as much as possible and give them more freedom, they said."

The point is so many fanboys here immediately swallow whatever a coach is saying to the press. Lavar carried this defense for years under a carousel of coaching staffs. A new D coordinator ( just fired from his Head coaching job) came in whose ego was bigger than even Lavars and wanted to set examples. What better way to get the attention of the rest of the squad than to humilate the Veteran who had led them up to that point? There was a new boss in town and he got everyones attention with his treatment of the "untouchable" Redskin, Lavar Arrington.
Get well Lavar, I miss seeing you in B&G buddy!
