method man Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Assuming that Lavar is gone (which I am not sure of considering after this year, his cap hits are low), do you think McCune is capable of replacing of Lavar with one year of Williams's playbook under his belt?

KDawg Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Robert McCune is more of a MLB and not much of a tweener, unlike Lemar Marshall. I think Chris Clemons could be a suitable replacement for LaVar, but then again, so is Warrick Holdman. If necessary I could see us kicking Marshall back to OLB and McCune to MLB. But I'm not sure that would be the case. Marshall has done very well at the MLB spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dent19 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 NO, he barley made it off the practice team.... we will need free agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Monty Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Williams wouldn't have okay'd drafting McCune if he didn't think he would be versatile. Williams repeatedly has stressed that he likes his linebackers to be versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 McCune's main problems coming out of the draft were pass coverage, reactionary skills, and tackling (used to armtackle a lot). If he has fixed 2 out of the 3 areas, I feel that he has a good shot at starting next year. With his exceptional strength and speed (4.41), I think he has the ability to play OLB.

Williams repeatedly has stressed that he likes his linebackers to be versatile. Right. But I can't see McCune as a full-time OLB. Plus, in the preseason scrimmage against the Ravens (Yes, I realize that was early on in the year) I was not impressed with his coverage skills. Which is something that can be hidden at the MLB spot more than it can be at the OLB spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I just hope LaVar stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mwill008 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Lavar will stay, he will have to re-do his contract to make it more salary cap friendly for the team. Go on redskins.com and listen to his post game comments I think he gets it now. Lavar wears his emotions on his sleeves, as he has admitted and I think he will be back next season. If not look out for Chris Clemons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Lavar will be back, not only as a Redskin, but back in top form and fully healthy... they say it takes a couple of years to return fully from the injury he had. He definitely picked it up at the end of the year. He believes in Gibbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 No You can't replace a 3 time pro bowl linebacker with just anyone and get the same results. The Redskins have demonstrated an ability to field a good defense without LaVar Arrington. But they have not shown that they have anybody (this includes Marshall moving back outside) that is capable of being the kind of player LaVar is when he's healthy. If LaVar is gone, it's because he's clashed with the coaches, not because he's so easily replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think if Lavar does leave, it will be more likely that McCune becomes the MLB and Marshall moves outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas-Born Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Arrington can not be replaced by Mcune or Holdman. Neither has his range or big play ability! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
