Arrington's last stand?

Man This Is Really Going To Hurt My Madden Game.

On Sports Nite on Comcast they interviewed Arrington after practice. It seemed as if the quotes were old, although he didn't deny them, and they weren't in the context in the article. Also he said he wants to be a Redskin and would rather retire than play for another team.

God I hope he stays and works things out. I think it would be a special thing to hold the D players we have now and let them gel for about 4 more years before we start getting rid of people. It would be exciting to see Arrington, Washington, Taylor, Springs, Griffin, Rogers, Clark, Saleve'a, Wynn, Daniels and Marshall, hanging around and really getting into a rythm, with guys like McCune challenging for positions along with the clemons brothers.

I'd like to see us maybe get another corner in a few years to take the place of springs when he chooses to retire (he's getting up there in age isn't he... and I think harris is around the same age??) and maybe a pass rushing DE, unless our line can produce like they have been the last couple of games.

My advice for LaVar right now would be to shut the F up.

Here's Gibbs reaction to the whole thing

Asked for his reaction, Gibbs said he had not read Arrington's comments, but he took exception to anything that might distract the team ahead of Sunday's game at Philadelphia. The Redskins will clinch their first playoff berth since 1999 if they beat the Eagles. "Right now, for anybody in this organization -- I would hope in the entire town -- to be focused on anything other than Philly would be ridiculous," Gibbs said. "We're getting ready to play the most important game that a lot of our players will play. ... If we lose the game, we're not going anywhere. So my mind-set is on one thing, Philadelphia. That's the way I feel about it."

If Lavar retired after the season, would we suffer any cap penalty?
I think I would want that more than anything else. To free up cap space from a player that is good, but over rated

He's just being greedy.

That has to be old i heard him just 3 weeks ago say that he has never had the same coaching staff for 3 straight years and he wanted williams and the coaches to stay..... its all BS..this is the media... thats what they do.. they make a big deal and stir shit up...they created the whole T.O. thing too....this is a bunch of happy horse shit... And then they get pissed off when some players wont talk to them...

I for one still have a tremendous amount of respect for Arrington. They guy is a stud and our coaching staff should find a way to use him. If he has deficiencies (i.e. freelancing), our coaching staff should be good enough to correct them.

This guy is not T.O.; ultimately he is a team player. He's been with us through thick and thin and people are ready to turn their backs on him on a dime.

I agree with Ramseyfan. I know L.A. doesn't know when to be quiet at times, but to call him a selfish, me first, T.O. type of player is stupid. He's been here through the good times and the bad times, he's turned around seasons on his own (I.E. that interception return against Carolina that sparked our season turnaround that year), and he's repeatedly said:
He wants to be a Redskin for life
He would consider retiring if he had to play for another organization.

When he was benched, he wasn't bitching about it, he was complimenting his teammates and accepting it.

I cannot stomach Snyder anymore - he's a grade A as--ole who alienates players and is keeps adding to his reputation as meddlesome and child-like owner. Snyder offered to send Coles a TV to watch football after the contract dispute. Snyder told Arrington not to talk to him when Arrington tried to say hello. Snyder acts like a petulant little 5 year-old and I'm tired of him. Snyder and his gut should stay away from Redskins Park and players.

I like Lavar and think the defense is stronger with him in the game, BUT the number one LB is now Marcus Washington!

Gregg Williams is more important to the defense than any of the players. He can be replaced, too. Picking excellent defensive coordinators has been one of the things the Redskins have done right for a very long time.
