Rumor: LaVar Gave The Giants The Skins Playbook?

The bottom line is none of the Redskins teams won when Lavar was the focal point of the defense and all those division games we lost year after year was with "Mr. Bigshot" L.A. running our defense....all i remember is the Eagles coming into Fed Ex and Dallas coming into Fed Ex and running right over Lavar and thru the D....and getting beat over and over again during Lavar's stay in Washington.......now he is with the Giants and amazingly, that defense is underacheiving.....imagine that.

Its amazing to me that we started winning as a franchise when Lavar was either injured or was being "weeded out". He is nothing but a waste of talent if you ask me and all the years he spent with us were a waste and the teams record showed that.

Its amazing how a couple of statements can forever change the way you are viewed. Lavar could have kept his mouth shut when he first left and he probably would have recieved a nice welcome back in december. However, after Thursdays comments about Coach Gibbs, basically trying to throw him under the bus, i know im done with the former #56. I wasn't going to toss his jersey or burn it like i did Chump Bailey's but now, now, i've gotta come up with something good for that Giants LOSER!

While some may argue that Lindsey and Springs shouldn't have said what they said, taking a shot at a Hall of Fame coach when your career hasn't even seen 1/4 the amount of games that he's coached in is just stupidity.

I hope Mike Sellers drives a TRUCK STICK straight up...............

Farewell......double pennies.......

Makes you wonder what Joe Pa would think of all of this?

That would mark the first time LA has used the playbook so I suppose that's interesting

last year a radio host for the sports talk station in Philly had people come to the stadium and fill up a coffin with T.O. stuff then they cremated it.

I will always fondly remember Lavar as the guy who put the last and final hit on Troy Aikman - for that, I thank him.

I would have to say that for much of his tenure here I was one of those fans that was just glad he was on our defense. I remember thinking this guy can influence the outcome of a game just like another # 56 did. That potential was always hanging in the air in the NFL and we all remenber him flying across the line like he did in college and waiting for a similar impact in the big leagues.
It must be a terrible thing to know you have the ability to be great and never ever really get there. He knows he had it and he knows he was always expected to be a difference maker - has not happened and will not happen!

GIANT mistake :twisted:

Cannot wait to see him in DC for the last game of their season.

Could we find somebody sitting close enough to collect them and throw them on the giants sidelines as lavar is sitting on the bench?

I agree and to be quite honest, he was never really a LB. I think that the Redskins miscalculated that and maybe missed the boat that other teams are riding with converting LBs to rushers. A couple of examples that stick are Dallas with Ware; Baltimore with Suggs; Jets/Atlanta with Abraham; and the way Marty is using Merriman.

The one year he went to the Pro Bowl was when Marvin Lewis figured out that this guy is not a "true" LB and rushed him. Dude had double-digit sacks and made the Pro Bowl because of that. Look, this guy is not Ray Lewis, Zach Thomas, Brian Urlacher or Joey Porter, true LBs. He's a Lawrence Taylor type that got lost in the mix of ever changing defensive coordinators that were trying to make him something that he is not. And of course he did not help his cause by some of things he did either. But I am not going to do like alot of people on this board and dump him. I enjoyed watching him play for us and I am not going to throw that away because things didn't work out.

Right now, Lavar is at a major crossroad. His best years appear to be behind him and now it appears that he will not be put into the role he was really built for, and that's rushing the QB. If only we had made him into what he was really good at at Penn State when we first signed him. Maybe we'd be debating whether or not "LT" was better than him....
