seeing as how your GM and front office isn't retarded, i'd bet that you don't sign lavar

That is a fair statement that has nothing to do with freelancing. One must understand why he can't show a good gap discipline. It is not entirely his fault. If he could learn how to be a role player that was disciplined in a certain area (like Phifer, Willie, etc) he may become a solid pick up.

It is a risk. I am not sure if it is worth taking or not.

What/Who is a front office? You use it like you know what it means. I honestly do not know who you are saying is not retarded accept Pioli. Could you please teach me who they are.

It's tough sarcastically criticizing someone for making a mistake, when you use accept instead of except...

front office is the gm, scouts , gm's assistants, the talent evaluators.

basically the war room

NE's front office isn't retarded as i've said, so they won't make a retarded move by signing some bum LB who used to have potential, NE isn't a stupid football team.

LOL my bad, but I honestly wasn't being sarcastic. I do not understand the term "front office" and want to learn what it is. So many people throw it around, but I don't know who they are or what they do. Do you?

I think I am biased since I went to PSU and Lavar is my absolute favorite player ever, but to be fair the weakside LB does not need nearly the discipline that a an ILB needs. I would like to give him a chance as BB has dealt with "freelance" OLB's before with some pretty good results. Now I am not trying to compare LT to Lavar as that is just absurd, however I wouldn't mind giving him a chance, in Washignton when Lavar was healthy, I think it was honestly only 1 game, he really was impressive to watch.

Last year at this time Lavar was demanding a huge salary, that simply cannot be the case after another failed year. It would not be a huge salary committment so why not, he can't be less disciplined then Banta-Cain.

I also have a # 11 PSU jersey that is just BEGGING to be worn to a Patriots game.

Well, I know Pioli. By scouts do you mean that we have actual guys get paid to go and watch tape of FA's on the market. I may be off, but the War Room is a draft day function that targets guys for the draft. Do we have one in the regular season as well? I don't know who assists Pioli or how they do it. Is there a link to where I can learn this? I understand there must be some type of talent evaluators at some level, but who are those guys/gals? Doesn't BB make those types of calls and evaluations? I understand basics of how we scout college, but is it the same for FAs?

Except for that, though, and the fact that he has a hard time grasping complicated defense responsibilities, he'd be a good signing, wouldn't he?

Digger44

Are you saying that BB coached LT and was successful coaching LT even though LT had a freelance problem??? LTs talent level did make him special. You also mention the BB coached "OLB's" that freelanced and has success at doing it. Who else are you suggesting?
