B.A.M.F. Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 in the interview on Redskins.com TV today, he seemed very humbled as a player. I really respect that about him, I hope he has his best season this season. :point2sky Humble, yet when talking about being "washed up" that grin on his face make me glad I wont face him this year... he might just injure the first player he hits.

Dallsux Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I wanted to take the time to express how excited i am that Lavar is back and ready to go . Last year our defense was great and i enjoyed watching it perform more than the offense but the absence of Lavar just didnt feel right to me. As the season wore on and Lavars return kept getting pushed back and our defense doing so well with the likes of Griffin, Washington, Springs, and Taylor a little bit of doubt began to creep in my as well as redskins nations mind as to do we really need Lavar on this defense?It appeared at one point and time we as fans were divided as to what Lavars future will be with the organization, some fans even went so far as to say we should cut or trade him. I couldnt believe what i was hearing or reading in regardes to Lavar over the past year and a half, all i could due was sit back and take everyones opinion in and re-watch game film from Lavars rookie season so that i could figure this whole mess out. Since Lavar was the Skins pick in the 2000 draft he was a fan favorite. When Arrington arrived at Fed- Ex field via Helicopter and made his way to the club level deck the fans were extatic to finally have our next Wilbur Marshall or better yet the next L.T. As we cheered and listened to Lavar answering questions from Sam Huff he bacame more of a favorite by simply answering one question right. Sam " What are you gonna do about these Cowboys" and Lavars response was " All i can tell you is ( slaping his hands together to symbolize a big hit) #8 is gonna feel it". Who knew that Lavar would actually make due on that statement during the 2000 season. Lavar since his rookie year became the face of the franchise and the soul of our Washington Redskins through coaching changes year in and year out. The overhaul of defensive schemes has stunted Lavars growth as a player and it didnt help that he was playing Strong Side Linebacker instead of the Weak side which is were he became the next L.T. Lavar tried to carry the teams of 2001, 2002, and 2003 on his back single handedly and as a result overcompensated for lack of talent around him by freelancing. Lavar simply didnt trust the players around him to make the plays neccessary to win so he tried to make them all. Lavar being hurt last season could be the best thing that ever happened to him. Lavar from a far has seen what this D is capable of and that he finally has trustworthly players around him that will make plays and now Lavar can focus on his duties and not worry about overcompensating for the other 10 players.After listening to Lavars comments today there is no doubt in my mind that the NFL Is in for a big surprise. Lavar is extremly motivated and focused to prove evryone wrong about him being washed up and a letdown, and dont forget he is in a system that is solid in philoshophy and will allow him to make plays. Lavar is back it appears he understands that he has to play his position with excellence and according to the scheme and he is prepared to do so. Welcome back Lavar i hope you have a great season and thrive with Gregg Williams. Nice. :thumbsup: Let me say that I never...NEVER doubted LaVar's abilities. The only time that people really started doubting him was when that moron Sean Salisbury said that Arrington was "the most overrated player in the league"...while Arrington was hurt. Big man, that Sean Salisbury. :jerk: It would not surprise me in the least if by mid-season, he's calling LaVar the best player in the league. Welcome back LaVar! Tear somebody's head off for me, will ya? :laythehur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and most of the ones after) I can't wait to see him & Taylor out there together facing Drew & MeShuan. :laythehur :laythehur :dallasuck :logo: :dallasuck :logo: :dallasuck :logo: :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 "Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket outWelcome back to that same old place that you laughed about Well, the names have all changed since you hung around But those dreams have remained and they've turned around Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (who'd have thought they'd lead ya) Back here where we need ya (back here where we need ya) Yeah, we tease him a lot 'cause we've got him on the spot Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back" :rubeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallsux Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I just saw the interview myself. Very humble. I'd say that still waters run real deep here. He's gonna fit right in with this defense & be a driving force. We're gonna pound the hell out of some teams this year. :point2sky :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
