Yes, I know, the team is more than just one guy. But it sure is sad seeing one good player after another getting cast aside like trash.
The team IS more than the individual player, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the individual.

I can see both sides of it, but in the end I don't feel very sorry for LaVar.
That's life in the NFL. It's a business first and foremost. Teams cut ties with their stars and move on all the time. I wonder if LaVar is mentally tough enough and that's why the coaches are so hard on him.
From the sound of it, this defensive staff is very demanding. They're obviously looking for certain kinds of players, and perhaps they're pushing LaVar to see how he responds and to see if he can be their kind of guy.
Sadly it appears he's simply not their kind of guy. LaVar needs a certain level of nurturing and coddling, and that's simply not going to happen from the likes of Williams, Blache & Lindsey.
