He was good because of his speed. Never was the consistent reliable get the job done guy. Never the power guy. Never the full package coverage/run guy.
He was what he WAS...amazing...because he reacted quickly to a play and got to the ball like a missle. Well, now that he isn't even fast for a linebacker, just average i'd say...so you have a guy out there who doesn't cover well, doesn't stuff the run well, doesn't take care of his assignment well, and therefore doesn't play well.
Think about all of his great plays, he flew across to make a tackle, ran down a guy like he was standing still, caved in aikmans head on a play where 99% of other linebackers wouldn't have gotten close to him before he was out of bounds.
You add speed and every bit of that changes......I hope he doesn't find that speed against us.

It looks just like the dust mask I use when sanding a lot.

Do you guys want him back? He makes me sick. I'm 6'2" 290 and by no means fast, I don't think he could cover me. I have 6th grade girls in my class who probably weigh 70 lbs. who could run through him.
Sorry there Coggs I have been saying it for 3 years the guy is horrible, he was a stupid head before he started having injuries, it's amazing what the NFL hype machine can convince people of how good some players are regardless of how bad, from what I read you guy's were smart enough not to get to wrapped up with him contract wise if I am correct on that, he will have to perform to make the big bucks. But he's all your's good luck!:rofl:

I believe you also referred to him as a "poopy-pants" on several occasions.

So your the oldest, biggest 6th grader the world has ever known? Just kidding dude, dont feel too bad the Giants are actually wiser than most teams with suspect players. In LA's contract the team benefits not having to pay him for the time he misses so if he still is not producing more than 1 tackle a game hope he gets injured so the team can save money.
How's Sinorice coming along? Send him to the Skins just for a novelty.That's what worries me. An incentive laden contract. Eventually his agent will get into his head that he needs to pick up the stats and then he will start running wild just to get his tackles and they'll get burned because he did not stick to his assignment.

Well his agents are done for two years, aren't they? Not sure how they can advise him at this point.

I wonder if Lavar's knee problem isn't degenerative. I was worried that he would be healthy and return to form all quick like, but he keeps getting slower, and slooowwwwerrrrr, and sssssllllllooooowwwwwwweeeeeerrrrrrr....
At this rate he'll be out of football next year.

Dammit, I wish Bruce Smith and Deion would come out of retirement.
