Frediemac Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 When not Hurt he was a BEAST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugski1210 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Eh.... he was ok Only 3 pro-bowl apperances before his injury. Nothing special the past 2 seasons though. PS: Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me luv skins long time Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 he looked good when he GUESSED right, but he wouldnt stay on his assignment alot....IMO i think pierce is alot better....i miss him:( LA overall a beast as a athlete but had some on the field issues with assignments and injury prone as of late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truskinsfan18 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 He should be a complete beast next year...I predicted pro-bowl for him next season because I feel he is going to lower his playing weight and be much faster...unfortunately that wont be for the skins. He doesn't really watch what he says he can be contradictory at times, but on the field he will perform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that he either lost a step or his timing but he's still definitely a player. Wish he didn't have to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1AZRedskinfan Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Beast before injury....pretty much a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 After the injury LA lost a little bit of his physical ability. For every big tackle you got from him, you were guaranteed two big misses. He was explosive and very emotional, and good w/ the fans. This led a lot of people to ignore the fact that he misses assignments, freelances way too much, and refuses to fit into a defensive scheme. He has battled w/ every defensive coordinator brought in. Our coaching staff kept it quiet, but he does have a "me-first" attitude. As long as that attitude is satisfied, he can be an impact player. You have to have a really good team built around him, as he is as much a liability as he is an impact player. He is TO, but to a lesser extreme. JMO though.

OVCChairman Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 The guy is a beast...if he can play HIS game. If you let him off the leash and allow him to run around, guarding the defense like a junkyard dog, he's an animal. It has been said many times that he is Uncoachable. hes strong, fast and he can HIT, but mentally, he has always been the center of the defense, and its going to hurt him. He isnt very open minded and he doesnt change his game. I hated to see him go and i hope the best for the guy. He's worth the money that any team would pay him, as long as he's healthy, and he gets along with the team and staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 When attempting to tackle Tiki Barber he occasionally looked like he had been going head up with me on a Jagr bottle out iin the parking lot before the game but Tiki will do that to nearly anyone. Aside from that, he is surely one of the most explosive and dynamic athletes of this or any era. Here is a partial list of guys he has done severe damage to on clean hits. Troy Aikman Steve McNair Kordell Stewart - probably the most devastating but it was in a preseason game Brett Farve Alex Smith and a clean KO of Shaun Alexander in the playoffs - a fitting way to end his time here. A flawed, but legendary talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamingwolf Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 ...but dont think i dont know football... dont think you dont know football, translates into do think you do know football. so since your a giants fan its safe to consider your knowledge of football is do do. :gaintsuck now before the grammar nazi's or the grammar nazi haters attack me, Im not attacking his grammar solely just using it to make a funny to raz the enemy.

mbraun2 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Aggresive, passionate but no discipline, he has a hard time taking to coaching and has a need to be the highlited player. Ego problems but passionate as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he wants too much money, to the point where the Giants can't afford it and it's been rumored the coaching staff doesn't want him because he wouldn't be a good fit in our defensive scheme.

carlsbadd Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 You can add Emmit Smith to the hit list from Arrington also. Very few people hit Emmit hard enough to have him get up slow and shake his head ,but Arrington has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTaylor_EyeWitness Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 overall Arrington will be a valuable asset to the Giants D.....they need playmakers...the Skins need people that don't care about being snubbed from the Pro Bowl and that are disciplined...he might be a Bengal though kid, so don't get your hopes up.

It really wasn't anything spectacular ... kind of like Dale Earnhardt's crash -- didn't look bad, just a freaky injury kind of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadirtbags Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I think Lavar is capable of being a star where ever he goes....the main problem I foresee if this deal became a reality Lavars relationship with Tom Coughlin!!!!! :coach: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wasn't anything spectacular ... kind of like Dale Earnhardt's crash -- didn't look bad, just a freaky injury kind of thing It was exactly as I described it...a clean KO caused when alexander dove towards the line of scrimmage and was met by LA. I'll try to find the one replay where you can clearly see the contact. BTW, whats up with the morbid Earnhardt reference? That's a bit strong, isn't it?

CrypticVillain Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Lavar was the man, if NYG gets him they will get a great football player and a great person. What kind of car dealers yah have up there he is a great spokesman for Eastern Motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
