Gallntfox Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Just listening to the Junkies....and JP reported that he read a story that said that Lavar's knee is "bone on bone" .... He didn't indentify the source. Has anyone else heard this? They speculated that because of this that he is not playing because it would diminish his trade value. I find that ridiculous. Has anyone else heard anything about this report. The Skins and Lavar both say that he is healthy. If anyone has seen this please post a link. I also thought that it was great of Czaban to hint on postgame that every broadcaster is trying to unravel the Lavar mystery..and that George Michael probably knows but won't spill it because he is a company man...

More Complete Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 More speculation. If true, Gibbs, Lavar, and the whole Redskins org would have to be flat out liars, so I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Coach Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I doubt they are hiding it for trade value, since he would need to pass a physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 lol didn't we hear the same thing about trotter? he seems to be getting around fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallntfox Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 True on both points...and they also did state the the team would have an obligation under league rules to report him on the injury report. That being said if he is not the same player because of the knee surgeries...maybe that is what they are trying to hide. He may only be 75% and not able to do what he once could. Another guy called in shortly afterwards and said that he attended a function with ex players who told him that Lavar had pissed off coaches Williams and Lindsey all the way up to the owner and that in 2 to 3 weeks he wouldn't even be dressing for games.

SlobberKnockinFootball Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 JP pulled that out of a speculative report that ran last week. There is nothing true about this statement at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Monk Fan Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Didn't the league pass new rules a year or two ago to overcome New Englands penchant for fibbing about injuries? I think this is something the Skins would have to disclose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what function that was and I wonder if our boy Doc Walker might have been there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 If he can't crack our lineup, he won't have any trade value. They'll know we're in "sell" mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsphoto Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Lavar bit the hand that fed him. He's selfish and is being taught the ultimate lesson in team. Go coaches! Either that or he has a problem in his brain. He's never demonstrated even now, that he has any self control, on the field or off the field.

ntotoro Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Good thing we can get information from such reliable and quality sources as the Junks... :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallen5862 Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I hope Lavar learns the system and demonstrates what he needs to do to earn playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 If his knee was bone on bone, he wouldn't be able to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty P For The Pulitzer Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Didn't the league pass new rules a year or two ago to overcome New Englands penchant for fibbing about injuries? I think this is something the Skins would have to disclose. If they did, it'd be impossible to enforce. There's too many ways around it. Look at the Vick situation last week. All week Atlanta listed him as probable, then downgraded him to doubtful on Friday. All you have to do it sounds like is list someone as probable, then at the last minute, downgrade them, and say we didn't know how bad it was until he practiced on Friday. But I think the fact that Lavar is not even listed as probable though says that he is either 100%, or close to it. If he isn't playing because he is still hurt, I think you're right that they would have to list him on the injury report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
