I always hoped for LA to actually be as good as the hype. IMO he had the ability to be one of the very best but only played at that level once in awhile and it never lasted long enough. He talked "team" but many of his outbursts and difficulties in recent years to me said "me". He kind of became irrelevent to me last season. We just didn't need him and his mouth anymore.

I cannot think of many guys who have had difficulties on a Gibbs coached teams...Gibbs likes high character guys and will take care of them...his track record says his approach works. Arrington didn't fit into that mold. I think that had everything to do with him no longer being a Skin and thats good enough for me.

Just my opinion though.
