Dirk Diggler Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 hmmmmm....Sam Huff or the "experts" in this thread....who do I ever listen to? choices, choices, choices..... Whenever I try to assess a player, I make sure to ask his friends in the booth over his current and former coaching staffs. Seems quite logical :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince62 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "Sounds pretty ill-equipped to me. Considering what the coaches have said about him since? LA hasn't exactly been getting sharper in his old age. Then again, he's not the only one." so what do you think Dirk....is it a racial thing?

HailSkinz1 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I think Sam Huff is just a good guy looking out for a former Redskin. If you listen to Huff, he's not exactly Einstein, but I love the guy. Regarding LaVar's impact - the whole defense got better not because LaVar returned, but because Griffin and Daniels returned healthy. They were unreal on the D-line. In fact the pick LaVar had against the Bucs in the playoffs was from deflected pass at the line (don't recall who deflected it now, but I bet it was Griffin or Daniels). [Edit: I see from another post in this thread that it might have been Saleve'a who deflected the pass - that could very well be) Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 you said he's ill-equiped......well...there must be some reason for his being ill-equiped...whatever could you mean? Actually you said ill-equiped and asked the poster who questioned his intelligence if there's any basis for his accusation. I provided it. Judging by quotes from this current staff, I'd say not much has changed since 2000. As for the causes, it's difficult to speculate. Maybe he was destined to find the cure for cancer but his momma dropped him on his head and he became the shining beacon of wisdom that he is today? This isn't the first time I've seen you so flippantly accuse me of racism. Does it only happen when you are made to look like a fool or do you have a daily quota that you're trying to fill? Perpaps the fact that you even introduce race into the equation shows us all who the true racist is, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fansince, you suggest that if we can't take Huff's word then we shouldn't take Art, tar, ect word on this stuff. Unfortunately, you're taking Huff's word over the coahces and then using that arguement to blow off their claims. Your point is invalidated by the fact that the posters with inside knowledge you mentioned agree with this and previous coaching staff's assesment of Lavar. I'll take the word of insiders who don't personally know Lavar well and agree with about 50 different coaches over one insider who happens to be good friends with Lavar.

What disqualifies him is the fact that he's close friends with Lavar. Ya dig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see where you are coming from. but...and I'm not being combative here.....that only leaves neutral parties and enemies...and I don't see any neutrals out there. a friend can be honest as well. but...you have a point..."I dig" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with your last point there regarding Dline getting credit for INTs. My point about Huff is that he's a good guy and looks after his colleagues, but I personally wouldn't put too much stock in his talent evaluation. I would put more stock in what the coaches have to say and what I see on the field. If all Huff has to do is ask, then he must not be asking the coaches. But, I'm certainly not trying to bash Huff here. He's one of the greatest Redskin players of all time, just not one of the greatest talent evaluators.
