Arrington has always done his own thing. Even in college.
That being said, he is a beast. He's incredible, and I'd love to have him on the Pats.
Don't think that BB would shy away from a freelancer. If that freelancer had incredible abilities, and could change the game instantly, then BB would unleash him. That's all Arrington needs.
How do I know BB could live with this: well, Lawrence Taylor wasn't exactly the most disciplined LB out there. He was a holy terror, and Arrington plays the same way.
Great point Upstater. I went to many PSU games when Lavar was there.
I've followed his career closely. He's a good guy not a publicity hound.
A friend of mine coached his brother's basketball team. Lavar caused
too big a stir when he went to the games. People would hound him for
autographs throughout the game. He just asked my friend if he would
give him the game tape so he could watch it. Very good family too.
Father was Vietnam Vet who was wounded and has always had
trouble walking since. Mom is an educator. He plays with a huge amount
of brashness. But, that's it. Stays on the field.
I've always wondered why Lavar was never told "sic em". The LT
comparision is good. LT didn't worry about dropping into the flat and
covering a te or a fb. PSU didn't do it. Lined him up on the same side
of the field as Courtney Brown. I love Jerry Sandusky. But, that was
the dumbest thing I've ever seen. He's been in a 4-3 in the pros. Where
the olb does have more responsiblities than the elephant position in a
3-4. He's never had that role in the NFL either. Line him up outside of
our de's and point him at the damn qb! Let the offensive coordinator
worry about him. Not worry about covering the flat. Sorry for rant.
If you watched this guy closely. You'd love him.
