Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

[QUOTE=mheisig]Very well put.

With respect to your last paragraph, I wonder the same thing about the "system." Clearly Lavar improved enough and adapted enough during this season to go from warming the bench to starting. He obviously showed GW and Co. SOMETHING in order to get back on the field.

What is it that's holding him back? Has he learned the system and now is forgetting again? What gives?

Granted I'm no defensive coordinator, but I find it a little difficult to believe that this system is such a work of art and runs like a swiss watch that there is just no room whatsoever for a guy with tremendous physical ability and spirit. I disagree that he needs to be "coddled" or "babied" as others have mentioned. He needs to be coached.

Take a gifted player and find a way to work him into the system, use the resources you have. I'm not saying totally overhaul the system for one guy, but work to your players strengths. That's not "coddling," it's called coaching.[/QUOTE]
My thoughts exactly. You'd think they could have taken a more positive approach with Lavar. I guess they didn't realize how difficult it would be to convince him that he needed work and they ended up being so frustrated that they couldn't coach him like they seem to be able to coach other players.
His quote about not realizng that he needed to prove himself on the practice field speaks volumes about Lavar's opinion of hinself and his piosition on the team. Seems like that was the biggest stumbling block in this whole deal.

[QUOTE=mheisig]I'm not so sure it's a universal NFL thing. Granted it's impossible to come up with data on which team has the most disgruntled ex-players, but you watch enough Sportscenter or NFL network for a few years and the Skins seem to stand out. You don't hear about alot of people getting crapped on by the Patriots or Colts or whoever else and being bitter against those teams for the remainder of their career.

I don't know what the reason is, but this team has a real penchant for kicking people out the door in an incredibly foul mood.

Certainly doesn't win us any reputation points, and more importantly it sure hasn't done much for the team over the past decade or so.[/QUOTE]
I am honestly struggling to come up with a player besides Coles who left this team in disgust based on how the FO treated them. Guys come and go in this league and they often get upset when coaches decide they aren't worth keeping anymore. But that's no the FO's fault. That's not unique to the Skins.
I would propose that maybe the negative pub that the Skins get in this regard has something to do with the overall negativity towards the Skisn by the media? I think that has an awful lot to do with it.
A great example the other way is the situation with Ty Law in NE. I don't remember a great outpouring of negativity for Belichek when he up and dumped Law like the Skins have done to some other notable players. But the Skins do it and they get the negative pub. Fair and balanced? Hardly.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72]Players come and go, that's not exclusive to the Redskins, that's the NFL, that's sports. Otherwise why do people remain fans of one team for decades? So yes, ultimately we are fans of the TEAM first and players second.

I think the sad part is some people have those roles reversed.

We're 9-6 and knocking on the door of the playoffs, but we've spent the week debating the importance of ONE player.

Now that's sad.[/QUOTE]

Yes, worrying about one player during this week is a bit sad. But luckily it is us and not the team. You and I are about the same age so we have seen both sides of the cap and non cap. I am a fan of both sides, and like the fact that you can add players. My only beef is that we as fans try to connect with players, and always root for certain individuals. In my case, I have rooted for several different players that I thought would be here for a while. Only to have them shown the door. some fans feel this is alienating them from the team, and some(like your self accept it as part of the business in the NFL) I dont think there is a right or wrong side of arguement. We all love the Skins and will root for them no matter who is playing, like the two scab years we had. My gripe, this season, is about the treatment of LaVar, but it hasn't always been. I bitched and moaned about Steven Davis, about letting Champ feel the way he did(which he was probably going to leave anyway) Mitchell, even Tre Johnson when he was a probowler. I liked that dude every since he took up for Brad Johnson during the playoffs that year and go kicked out of the game. Even Antonio Brown, I root for that guy like crazy after reading the article about what kind of life he had. All I am saying is ,fans as passionate as we are about our team, feel that we have a connection with the players on the field, and when they are mistreated for what ever the reasons are, get a little upset. I was furious with the Brian Mitchell and Steven Davis thing. Teams letting players go for cap reasons and such is part of the game, that I can agree on. I just dont think, and some other people to, that this organization handles things the right way when it comes down players or coaches for that fact.

I think the reason they get it is because of the constant overhaul of the roster, constant coaching changes. If this was just one player hear or there, they probably wouldn't have they negativety. I dont know, but that is one thought.

Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

[QUOTE=FRPLG]I read the whole thing

All three guys you mentioned weren't run out of town by Snyder.
Mitchell was dumped by the head coach at the time who thought he wasn't as good as the money he would be required to get based on his name recognition and veteran status. Snyder didn't get pissed off at Mitchell and get rid of him. The coaches made a personell move that ended up being questionable.
Champ was commanding a massive amount of money and the coaches didn't think he was worth it so they traded him and got some value in the form of CP.
Coles turned douche bag on us when Gibbs couldn't get him the ball because he was limping all over the field. He burned his bridges by attempting to manuver his way out which ended up screwing us on the cap. I think Dan had a right to tell him he'd send him a plasma to watch the games on next year. Before that no one reportedly had any problems with Coles so I fail to see how the FO gets the blame on that.

Actually I have never heard Marty bad mouth anyone so no I don't think he would have said anything. Doesn't seem like his style to go moaning to the media about how Lavar missed an assignment or two or nine.
The other players had different coordinators too and they didn't seem to have much trouble sticking to their assignments this past year. That's a lame excuse. If he has trouble picking up systems then his talents are therefore diminished in my eyes. Again other players stepped right in and got the job done while apparently Lavar didn't. That says a lot. I think it has more to do with Lavar's ego driving him to be blind to the fact that he isn't necessarily the greatest LB in the history of the game and that he does have flaws.
Taylor is in his second year and it has been admitted by both he and coaches that he makes mistakes. The difference is that Taylor seems to understand his mistakes and works to fix them. Lavar seems to want to ignore the fact that just about everyone in the know thinks he freelances too much. I trust when dozens of scouts and coaches say I am doing something wrong then I am probably doing something wrong. Lavar doesn't for some reason.

I'd like for them to patch things up and work on getting his amazing talents corraled and utilized here to the best of his abilities but it is going to take a monumental effort by all parties to repair relationships and I doubt anyone is willing to try unfortunately.

Lavar seems upset about a couple things that go beyond playing football. They are: he feels like much of the top brass don't respect him and have turned cold towards him. and he feels they have slighted him by shifting marketing focus from him. Well sorry Lavar but grow the F%^& up! First you file a grievance with the league because you think the Skins up and screwed you out of 6.5 million dollars. Now this grievance essentially goes to the top of the FO in one Dan Snyder. The same Dan Snyder who befriended you and did whatever needed to be done to kake you a superstar with millions of fans and millions of dollars. And you go and accuse him and his organization with trying to steal from you basically? It doesn't take a genius to realize that that is going to burn some bridges. He gets no sympathy from me on that. It doesn't make sense that they'd try to take that money out and it does make sense that his agent(whom he has stood by loyaly it should be noted) never read the contract. Think maybe there was a mistake here Lavar? Why go getting pissed at the Skins when they either made a honest mistake that they couldn't undo they way you wanted or your agent made the mistake and told you the terms wrong. Either way filing a grievance is burning the bridge. Second when Gibbs was hired it was obvious that the marketing scheme would probably shift a little away from individual players like Lavar simply because Gibbs was the big name now. You know that Gibbs guy did win 3 superbowls for the Skins. How many has Lavar won? Also Gibbs is a team first guy by all accounts and marketing individual players seems a little out whack with that thought pattern. Also again, he got freaking hurt and other guys stepped in and played well. They should get some recognition for that too and not have to sit and watch Lavar get the adoration while they were busting their butts. Get over your ego about the marketing crap and realize you are the one who burned the bridges with the FO Lavar.
I do fault the coaching staff for not handling this situation the best. I think lavar presented a difficult guy to manage and they totally whiffed on him. He needs special attention to keep happy because he is so emotional but I think his talent makes that special attention doable if you try. That is where I am disappointed. The coaches haven't done all they can to make this situation work and I expect better froma Joe GIbbs staff.[/QUOTE]

everybody sees things there own way. right or wrong, not going to argue with you on that. but, Why would a guy who loves this town and city basically throw the guy that signs his checks under the bus. Besides that, he dropped the suit, but the NFLPA wouldn't. The Mitchell thing, I have heard time and time again that he was seriously pissed off at Snyder. Snyder made all the decisions on bringing in those players in 2000, not Norv. And when he signed Dieon, he said goodbye to Mitchell. Norv did not cut Mitchell, Danny did. I know that for a fact. Coles went to the coaches and Danny expressing his frustrations with the offense, then Snyder told him if he didn't like it, to sit his ass at home and watch the games on the plasma he as mailing to him. That sounds like a great person. Now if he said it or not, dont know. But agian, two sides of the story and we have only one. Bailey said he wanted to play for a class organization, and there had to be something there for him to say that. Champ never once opened his mouth while playing here. He was a class guy. He got fed up with Snyder and constant changes. Who wouldn't , especially when you are not winning.

6.5 million dollars, you make it sound like its a couple of dollars. You would n't be going nuts if someone left that out of your paycheck? I know its the agents fault for not reading it, but I think everyone here would be ticked off about that, if it was true and indeed was left out. None of us really know that either because I dont think anyone here actually saw the contract.

Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

[QUOTE=#56fanatic]You said it all. Us as fans are fans of the Redskins. But after a while we are fans of the uniforms not the players or personalities behind those uniforms. that is the sad part of the organization. People like Mitchell, Steven Davis, champ, smoot , and now LaVar are players we watched in college, watched get drafted by our team. I know you cant keep everyone around that you want, but when good organizations treat their players with dignity and respect alot of those players will stay regardless of the money. New England has players acception less cash to play for them, eagles too. These organizations dont alienate the players or the fans. This is the salary cap business you can love or hate. But when we get attached to certain players because the organization shoves down your throat year end and year out, then all of the sudden turn their backs on them it makes you wonder how important us fans and the city is. I love the Redskins and always will. It just pains me to see us year in and year out throw not only good players but fan favorites and good character guys off the field, out like a pile of garbage.[/QUOTE]

And those same teams have exceptions and issues where players leave on bad terms, Jerimiah Trotter furious because he wanted more money and the way they handled him before he came to the skins, the eagles players disagreeing with the way they handled TO so if you look at that can you really say what a player overheard in the locker room being a little to much on Lavar from Lindsey being bias, Lowyer Milloy for the patriots, Ty Law for the Patriots when it becomes more about the money and the individual teams and players part on bad terms it is not just the Redskins these are only two incidents, but Corey Simon with the Eagles. Players who were considered contributors and years of play with the respective teams gone because you have to manage as a team and not for individuals. Do you think Kearse was a fan favorite in Tennesee, damn those titans just letting big name players go, must be the management did not care about him and treated him wrong. Your heart is what you watch everyday and Lavar has been loved by fans for his play, but he needs to understand they don't operate around an individual, but it does go on all the time. I am sure when these players left these teams respective forums just erupted with pissed off fans. Some of his arguements are just pathetic some people around here are mad when they see all my Jersey's in the stand sounds like something Gibbs and staff would be pissed about.

I wont quibble with the first part of statement but is it maybe possible that Lavar's snake agent lied to him? Maybe they discussed an extra bonus and the agent forgot to or coudln't get it included. You seem to accept the fact the the Skins made the mistake of leaving it out either intetionally or unintentionally and I would submit that I would trust an entire NFL organization about 100 times more than a snake oil agent. My biggest problme is that since it is impossible for Lavar to know who made the mistake he needs to treat both parties about equally. Don't stand by your agent when it is as likely he made the ultimate mistake. That's not layalty to your organization or your so called friend Dan Snyder. That is being greedy. I know 6.5 Mil is srious cash to you and me but the Lavar it means a whole hell of a lot less. Still a butt load of money but I think on principle he should have buttoned up on and worked with the FO to come up with a solution that was ameanable to everyone. First thing on that solution would be to fire and sue the agent for breach of contract for not doing his job and costing you 6.5 millions dollars. The buck stops at the guy who said "sign the deal".

Good Points, however Trotter begged to be back in philly. Law was not resigned because he was aging and wanted Champ Money a year or two into a long term deal, like the TO debacle. Kearse was a free agent and Titans didn't have a $1.50 to sign him. dont remember the Milloy thing, or Simon thing so cant speak on that.

Good point with Trotter and maybe these players will realize that the grass may not be greener on the otherside. Heaven knows Smoot is caught up in a sex scandal and another season he will not go to the playoffs and a organization that for most of the year was in shambles was it worth the money, I don't know but he is dealing with some of the same issues not going to the playoffs turnover in management, possibly a head coach change this year. Pierce lucked out and has had a successful year he out of most I think should have been retained, but it was not because they wanted to seperate with him. Coles is getting what he deserves a horrible performing offense and horrible individual stats. I to get frustrated shit I have lost out on two Bailey jerseys just knew he was a Redskin for his career and now maybe Lavar. I have to come to terms nothing is stable in free agency and I will be going through probably several jersey in the next four or five years, do I think Smoot and Pierce would have been here and many of the others if we did not have a cap, you bet your ass, Gibbs and Snyder would have paid what it took to keep most if not all.

I dont know who left the 6.5 mil, or lied about it. Fact was a grievence was filed and it pissed a lot of people off. LaVar tried to drop it but NFLPA wouldnt let him. It is just a mess on both sides that it has come down to this on the cusp of a really good season, possible great. I seriously doubt the players are focusing on it as much as we are. The other part of the that is the 6.5 bonus money is the only guaranteed part of the contract, other than any signing bonuses or workout bonuses that sort of thing. So when It comes down to these bonuses players and agents really fight for them. rightfully so. With the way its working out, he wont be here to get it anyway even if it was in the contract so I guess its not that important to bitch about is it?

Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

My take is this stuff happens all the time.
LaVar lacked "Tact".
Tack is doing things that actually bring you the result you seek.

If he seeks to be with Gibbs and this Team than what he did was not even in his own best interest.

Lavar now is singing the country song...

I dont know what you are talking about. Trotter tried to get more money, got it in washington, got cut, then realized what he had in Philly and begged to go back, took alot less money, two years in a row in fact. I didn't say its ok to drop players I dont like, I just stated the facts regarding a few you mentioned. Tell me this, If Springs came to you and said (at age 31 mind you) 2 years into his deal that paid him 10 mil up front, I want a new deal or I am holding out and wanted 15 to 20 mil up front. what would you do? Pay an aging player that much money or cut your ties? Same w/ Milloy, not really sure how old he is but not a spring chicken. Kearse was a free agent and the Titans didn't have the money Philly had to offer him. So , I dont get your point about dropping guys I dont like being ok. i didn't think letting Cory Simon go by Philly was a good move, look what the guy has done in Indy, made the run D pretty damn good.

Im a huge Lavar fan but this whole thing doesn't sit well with us as fans. We all love watching him play and couldn't wait to see what he could do in this system. Lavar made a statement regarding fan support like Ray Lewis. Ray is a free-lancer but he rairly misses tackles and plays hard and helps coach his fellow teammates. This is something I never saw Lavar do while in Denver sitting under a coat just like in KC he sits and sulks. To me if I was Dan,Joe, or Greg I would be lighting a fire under his ass. Lavar is a very emotional player and I listen to him on the John Thompson show and he is a cronic listner to the critics. Lavar loves seeing his Jersey and the fans cheering for him then why did it take so long for you to release your rights as a member of the NFLPA.

That's another thing that his agent screwed up. His first contract didn't have the NFLPA stuff but in his first restructure his agent forgot to have them remove it (it is common language that all teams put in for ease. they don't care either way.) so he magically became a member because his agent is apparently a moron.

[QUOTE=#56fanatic]Have any one of you guys read the article in the post today from Wise. Sums up alot of crap going on inside Redskin Park. I think they are treating him like crap, just like other players in the past. You get on the bad side of danny, and out the door you go. Brian Mitchell, champ, Lav Coles,(although this one has been awesome for us) now LaVar. Wouldn't you think a guy as disciplined and hard nosed as Marty and his brother would have said something about LaVar being careless or undisciplined if he truley was that way. I do believe LaVar likes to make plays using his athletic ability, it would be a waste if he didn't. However, how much of that is contributed to new defensive coordinator every year for 5 years. Maybe some. Maybe he doesn't pick up things as quickly as others, and plays on ability alot. I dont know, not on the field to see what is actually happening. Taylor is out of position alot, I dont hear about him getting berated on the sideline or in the locker room. I just dont get it. Hopefully LaVar will not walk away from the game,, and play for someone else. Just not for somebody in our division.[/QUOTE]


Lavar is like a dog chasing a stick, all you have to do is fake the throw and the dog runs all over the place looking for it.

I would love to play against Lavar twice a year, that would be 2 times a year our offense will pile up the points with him constantly out of position, and all around ignorant play.

Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

on the JT show right now

on the article-

I had no clue that was the type of article that would be written

He asked me if i thought if it was my last game at FedEx.

Lavar then said something along the lines of that he told him that he might be here and he might not but the guy wrote only the not.

I can't believe he would wright something like that.


I would NEVER want to do anything to hurt this team.

We have a lot of momentum and i hate that anything about me might cause a distraction

I didn't want any of the attention

People blaim it on me and i'm not a writer or editor. I didn't ask for that article to be written

I honestly believe that certain things are written to add to the conterversy.

"shawn springs is the most underated cover corner in the game"

"big loss to lose a guy like shawn springs in a game"

"we got to rally around eachother"

"[ade] stepped in and did what we need him to do"

"ryan and sean stepped up"

"Phily wasn't gonna lay down"

"i felt we were very resilient in that game despite injuries and this shows the kind of threat we are gonna be"

"To be honest with you the first meating we had with tampa was physically a great game for us. We didn't close out the deal."

"I think if we are as physical as we have been in the last couple games then thats what we need to do."

"They found what they needed to win that game. That is what we need to do, find what we need to win that game. With practice and watching film i think we can do that"

"In my oppinion, not to take away from anything from anyone on this team, we have a ton of strong character guys but lamar marshall is the MVP on this defense. We sat together and talked about how it is funny how things work out. From being a back up. Playing OLB then Playing MLB because antonio leaving and coming from playing CB earlier in his career. I am proud of him. He is still learning and will only get better."

"to play for the redskins in this type of game means the world to me"
"i have never stopped loving being a redskin"
"having the opportunity to know that there is on clear cut thing out of all this is to have the opportuninty to play as a redskins and play for these fans"

"people are gonna say what they want to say they will write what they want to write. But there is nothing greater than to play for these fans and give these fans something to chear for. nothing in the world can make me happier but the birth of my daughter than to bring back a lambardi for this city"

Now THAT is the Lavar I know and love.

Re: Lavar says he was misquoted - he wants to remain a redskin for his entire career
 

If Lavar restructures after this season and takes a HUGE pay cut, then I will welcome him back as a Redskin next year, just as I did Mark Brunell this year. Hopefully there will be a similar result.
