Monte Coleman was a coach's dream. You gave him an assignment; you taught him the physical skills it took to carry out that assignment; he worked his ass off to master the skills; he focused on his assignment; he carried out his assignment.

If anyone believes that this is the description of LaVar Arrington thusfar in his football career, you are living in a delusion. LaVar is a gifted athlete that has yet to show that he takes direction or plays with focus and discipline.

Arrington has the tools to be much better than Coleman was. Will he achieve that level? The jury is out!

BTW, do the young members here realize that Monte Coleman was tried at punt returner one training camp for about 4 or 5 weeks?
