Arrington Tweaked His Knee Again

[hail2skins]

According to Sportstalk.

He went to the doctor and they're awaiting the results. They don't believe it's bad.

I don't have a link yet.

[whitskins]

Fingers are as firmly crossed as humanly possible. Man we need him back badly.

[tommahawk]

Noooooooooooooo...

oh god! please let the results BE NEGATIVE!!! we really need him back on the field. not only is his leadership needed but his intensity and ability is really needed also. he needs to get healthy asap to get himself back on the field!

I'll find a way to blame this on Mark Brunell. You'll see.

On a serious note.... Please, God, not again.

[bgforever]

Hoping its just an adjustment pain.

I still think we "shouldn't" start him, just ease him back in. Starting is not as important as being able to play at all and also, the stronger we stay on
D, until he's 100%, the better off we'll be. Remember Joe Jacoby and his recovery or Darrell Green's. When they got back the team was in the playoffs baby!

[SkinsRock36]

It's all brunells fault. :cussing:

Oh that one is easy...Brunell threw a pass 10 yards behind a reciever and Arrington tried to stop and turn on the wet field to make a play and went down, injuring his knee in the process!

[RedskinsVision]

hope this isn't a bad setback.. but at least Gibbs doesn't think it was that bad.

and seems like Barrow's out again and Gibbs has had enough and will give him til Wed. b4 possibly deciding to shelf him for the year.

at least our D is not a concern.. although they've been over-achieving as much as our O have been under-achieving, it's quite unlikely the D will continue this torrid pace all season w/ out Lavar, Barrow, Bowen, Daniels.

that's why we need our O to start kicking into 2nd and 3rd gears when things start evening themselves out.

[TheBigGame]

It's all brunells fault. :cussing:
everything is brunell's fault! :lol1:

[GibbsRules!]

NFL Access on Directv said he strained it again, could set him back a week but didn't say much more. They also mentioned Brett Favre sprained his throwing hand, his practice will be limited this week. We need LA!

I heard Brunell was bombing the ball down field to Coles on a fly and instead through a Brunell lame duck which went 5 yards into the bench and hit LaVar in the knee while he was drinking some water.

Brunell apologized, and on the next play connected with Fred Smoot for a defensive TD.

Good day of practice for him.

Okay, keep the Brunell comments in another thread. It's getting pretty old.

I have to say, that one made me laugh a lot.

[LadyNRedskinsfan]

i just wanted to take time out and tell GibbsRules that you have the funniest sig ive ever read. lmao!

[PennSkinsFan]

Here is an interesting quote in the Times to think about....

Washington's defense hasn't missed Arrington. With Lemar Marshall filling in at weakside linebacker, the unit still ranks second in the NFL and first against the run.

[Patrick]

Here is an interesting quote in the Times to think about....

I've thought about it .... A LOT. All these guys coming back this week. How much can they REALLY contribute??? None will be 100% and what's the point if they can only go a few plays or have to play with caution. It's a little concerning to me.

[NamVet4]

As much as I desperately want LA in the mix, if he has re-injured himself, NO! As Patrick said, we have a great defense with the players on the field NOW!
Coach Williams will find a way!

:)

[REDMAN]

If we can get Lavar back on the field, it would improve our D.......I can't say that about Barrow or Phillip.

[hail2skins]

From what I'm reading, Arrington is supposed to be back practicing today. Also, Barrow is waiting for clearance as to whether he can practice.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A62226-2004Oct25.html

[LATrueRedskin]

It seems that LA isn't healing as fast as I thought. I don't like guys with knee injuries trying to come back and play early. Recipe for disaster.

He was cleared to practice and did yesterday until he tweaked it again. According to Nunyo, he may be practicing today as well.

[Keino]

Good day of practice for him.

Im really interested Joe, How many practices have you seen?

Some people wouldn't know a joke if it danced naked in front of them waving around a Dallas Cowboys flag.

[IMALILTEAPOT]

everyone in the dc area listen to sports talk 980 to hear lavar arrington.

[D-Ruck #8]

Man Lavar needs to quit being a baby. :cry:

Well the 1st 5 posts I took as jokes. We get it...you don't like Brunell, but you guys managed to turn a thread that was about Arrington's knee injury into a Brunell Bashing session, so I figured you guys had access to the closed practices that none of us do........

[IMALILTEAPOT]

I heard on sports talk 980 that arrington is doubtful, BUT IM NOT TOTALLY SURE THOUGH. It was one of those sportstalk sportscenter things were scot lyn says all these things all fast and stuff. but i think i heard that arrington is doubtful and so is john hall. man, i really feel bad for him.

*****CENSORED BY SPENCE******

Apparently Arrington won't play through pain, one more reason hes overrated. Talk about an assload of wasted cap space.

I really may have just gotten in trouble with my big boss man.... i uttered a curse in the work environment.... i hope he didn't hear me.... he was kinda close. PLease lavar!! SAy it ain't so!!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT TT!!!!!!!!
He has played thru pain his whole career!!!!!!! Before this year, he started every game excpet like 1 or 2 his rookie year! And he had freakin knee surgey, so of course he cant play! A lot of us dont realize how good LA is, man. With a coordinator that gets the best out of everyone, im sure he would of had a breakout year

And from what I've read, LA basically couldn't use BOTH hands while playing last year because they were hurting so much. He would take down players basically with his shoulder.

Wow. Either you are just trying to start trouble or you just have no idea what you are talking about.

Arrington has been chomping at the bit to get back on the field the last few weeks. The coaching staff would not let him, a good decision considering he will be the backbone of our defense for many years to come. If he does not play this week, it will most definately not be because he "won't play through the pain."

Thats SO true cuz i watch comcast sportsnet a lot, and LA is always saying I wanna go out and play, but the trainers wont let me. I love this guy man

[Spence]

It's a big blow to the Redskins if Arrington does not play. Ahman Green is a real threat out of the backfield and the Skins need Arrington to deal with him and put some pressure on Favre, who will have a record day if he's permitted to just stand in the pocket and throw at will.

[openallnight]

The only thing "doubtful" regarding Arrington this week is: It's very doubtful Arrington will allow Favrah to make it past the 2nd qtr.

[Redskinfan28]

Looks like 2-4 weeks really means 8-10 weeks.

[hockeygoalie29]

Looks like 2-4 weeks really means 8-10 weeks.

Considering this is a new injury, I don't think so.

[hail2skins]

I heard it too and I also heard that Taylor provided the Pack with some bulletin board material. He called out several players, like Driver and then went on to say something like teams haven't been throwing on us anyway.

They also made fun of his response to voting. He said something like he wants the best man to win. Whether it's Bush or Cheney. They started making fun about the education you get at Miami.

If Arrington doesn't play, you don't think we can pressure on Favre w/ out LA???

[josh90286]

u can, but its much easier with him as he can get him by himself..if u send marshall u would be better off to send another man wiht him to make sure someone gets to favre aka we will have to put more pressure on our secondary to lock down the receivers

[josh90286]

btw heres a link since no1 posted one http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=4075
samuels and smoot are both listed as probable with ankle injuries

[whitskins]

UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skinz4lyfe]

We can't get a break this season.

Regarding the Arrington comment, sometimes you have to ignore ignorant comments like that.

[PA Skins Girl]

It's true...

[smoot]

i just wanna say...has anybody really missed daniels?

[hockeygoalie29]

If Barrow comes back, do we move Pierce to weakside to cover for Lavar and let Barrow take over the middle?

[LATrueRedskin]

If Barrow comes back and LA is still out, that sounds like the move to do. Pierce is better than Marshall any way you slice it.

[D-Ruck #8]

I just think that Lavar should stay out until hes 100% healthy then ease his way back in, same with Mike Barrow.

So he's being a baby somehow? I still don't get it.

Ohhh, my fault my brother got on and Did that, because I did not.

[JoeDaSchmoe]

My friend said that he heard Arrington on the radio, and Arrington said his knee actually feels worse now than it did before the surgery. That's not good.

[inevitable]

Washington Post has an article that says he downgraded to doubtful for Sunday =\

I had that same surgery, tore the lateral miniscus cartledge in my right knee weightlifting.

It took a solid 4 weeks with no hard work/exercise on it for me to be able to run properly, but I was able to walk out of the surgery place the day I had surgery

Its a strage thing because you feel like you can go, but its really easy to mess up again.

Yeah I know the feeling. It's looking bleek for LA against the Packers.

Look, D, I don't know what's going on with you, but posts like this aren't cool. Capisce?
