I live for the day that anyone offers some support for statements like this. Why things like this are repeatedly said about Lavar and no other player on our team is simply beyond me.
"Lavar doesn't give a fuck about the team, he cares about LaVar and LaVar only"? Really? So I guess every other player on our team is playing for free? What is it that the other players do that makes them "care" so much more about the team? Do they sign long extensions to contracts without testing free agency because they want to be lifelong skins? Oops, I'm sorry, that's what LaVar did.

And how exactly is it that you KNOW Lavar hasn't bought into Williams's system? He was hurt all last year, yet you presume to know that he wouldn't have bought into Williams' system? And prior to that, what EXACTLY was the "scheme" Lavar didn't buy into? Which one of the four different schemes didn't he buy into? And which of our other players did? That is, if you can even name one guy on our defense that has seen as many different Redskins coaches as Lavar has had to play under. You talk about this grand "scheme"? News flash: our defense wasn't really anything to write home about prior to Williams. I'm not so sure we even had a real defensive "scheme" that anyone could define or describe prior to Williams.

And I find it hysterical that you even bring up Springs, Griffin and Pierce. Not a single one of these guys ever started for the skins before Greg Williams came to town. None of them were repeated pro-bowl caliber players before playing under Williams. Yet Lavar went to the pro bowl having to play for illdefined and constantly changing defensive "schemes" three times. I would argue that his accomplishments on a sub-par, misguided defense are far more impressive than guys who played great for a great coach who truly had his act together and finally ran a tight ship. You blame the Redskins organization for so many other things......but THIS, is all Lavar's fault? Makes sense to me.
