Lavar, Rogers Questionable Against Cowboys

[Dept_of_Defense]

Just got the bad news. Lavar and Carlos were downgraded to questionable today. Here's the link: http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=13321

[fent]

they'll play. gamesmanship at its best.

[openallnight]

I'd be willing to bet that barring Arrington literally having his leg cut off, he'll be out there this week giving the cowboys hell.

[The Skinsinator]

I'd be willing to bet that barring Arrington literally having his leg cut off, he'll be out there this week giving the cowboys hell.I agree but the coaches need to be sure to put the best player on the field despite Lavar's good intentions. If he is going to be a detriment in the least don't play him. Sure they have this figured out as well.

[silverspring]

"LaVar got back out there and took some work," head coach Joe Gibbs said. "So that was good. He's been around here a long time and it's a big game for him. It's the biggest game that he's been a part of. So he got back out and took some work. We'll just have to see what we think."


If he is doing walk throughs today he will play on sunday.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

If he is doing walk throughs today he will play on sunday.
I think we'll see how much LaVar loves the Redskins and hates the cowgirls

[EHoffman]

I honestly hate seeing the phrase "third-year cornerback Ade Jimoh would likely see increased playing time."

Argh.

[The Skinsinator]

I honestly hate seeing the phrase "third-year cornerback Ade Jimoh would likely see increased playing time."

Argh.We all do believe us. But if Ade is to play we all have to get behind him, cross our fingers, and trust in Williams. Gotta go with what we got.

[greatest2]

Lavar Plays. PERIOD

Rogers, if he wants the fans to love him, and become a true redskin then he will try and play through the Pain. Fans repect Courage, and the Rookie could prove himself to be a lifelong redskins in one game.

Carlos, don't let us down...

[whitskins]

If Lavar does not play I will be extremely disappointed. After seeing Ronnie Lott on Jim Rome yesterday talk about how he cut off the tip of his finger to play in a game, I expect the highest paid and highest profile members of this team to play in what is essentially the biggest game of their careers as Redskins.

[The Skinsinator]

After seeing Ronnie Lott on Jim Rome yesterday talk about how he cut off the tip of his finger to play in a gameThat may have been the sickest/best thing I've ever seen from a professional football player. That's taking having heart to a new level. Lavar will be ready to go. He hates the Cowboys vehemently and would love to pull an Aikman on Bledsoe.

[MoeRedskins]

To make room for Morton on the practice squad, the Redskins released rookie linebacker Zak Keasey from the practice squad.

Keasey is gone too, I thought Williams reallly liked him. I guess they are really thin at CB. As far as Lavar and Carlos, they will both be on the field on Sunday, I couldn't see them missing that game. And how is Bowen questionable, to much special teams?

[silverspring]

We all do believe us. But if Ade is to play we all have to get behind him, cross our fingers, and trust in Williams. Gotta go with what we got.

I agree. We all like to pick on jimoh but he has actually played pretty decent lately. He gives a big play up occassionally but I would say recently his play is easily as good as harris'. But at the same time he has made some crucial plays on defense and special teams. So lets give him the benefit of the doubt, Jimoh needs to step up his game and prove why he keeps winning that roster spot on sunday.

I have total faith that Lavar will play if he possible can, he always has. When i hear thigh bruise it makes me think he has a gnarly charly horse, but it must be a lot worse than that.

[whistleandthumb]

This is bad news, but LaVar, especially (as he's the veteran of the two), needs to take whatever pills and whatever shots he needs to fight through this and come out ready to make someone's head bleed. This is the biggest game of his career, and the biggest game for this organization in YEARS... our best players need to take their game to another level and get ready to play on Sunday.

I agree. If you complain about not playing enough, you must prove that you deserve to play.

OK LaVar... you want to play? Go ahead son.... Bring me their heads. I promise you that will end your pain.

He has been pretty absent lately. Up until the Arizona game that is. That smack on Larry Fitz was a damn nice tackle. Still, when I see him on an island out there, I feel like we're playing with fire. We should get Ade his reps in earlier games next year -- like we did Carlos. That way, I don't feel like eating my own head when he's out there in coverage against Dallass with a playoff berth on the line.

[greatest2]

LAVAR LAVAR LAVAR....

If we ever needed a playmaker in the past decade it is now.

I strongly believe that we are due for our BIG players to make BIG plays. That is Sean Taylor to make a PICK, LAVAR nailin' the QB repeadly, Santana to break out yet again, Portis to RUN over NOT Around the cowboys.

I JUST THINK WE ARE DUE!!

yeah i meant when he was getting in. But your right he hasn't been getting much time which can't be good. If springs and harris are a go I am not that concerned, he still will play limited time.

[skins111111]

I would dearly love to see Rogers play........"Springs and Rogers" its got a nice ring to it :)

I wish i watched Jim Rome yesterday!!! What injury did he have that he had to do that? Lavar will play but Rogers injury must be kind of serious that he didnt take any work today but hopefully he'll be aite to be the nickel cornerback. Why did we cut Rufus Brown and Garnell Wilds in the first place?

Yea I kinda liked Garnell Wilds...would feel a lot better having him in there personally.

[Dept_of_Defense]

Why did we cut Rufus Brown and Garnell Wilds in the first place?
Because we finally realized that they weren't good.

[dallasadmin]

Argh.

I couldn't agree more :imshock:

[bgforever]

PP on Johnson, Springs on Glenn, Harris/Jimoh on their third/fourths and even some coverage by Clark, who can play a little db at times on the 3rd/4th. Even more options are there, but it mainly accounts for Witten, their other TE's in a 2 set/Tackle eligible, gadgets and the backfield.

[JoeJacksonTaylor28]

What injury did he have that he had to do that?

His finger got caught between two other players' helmets. If I'm not mistaken, against the cowgirls.

The "true" story is this:

Thanks!!! Thats a very interesting story.
Yeah. I've been carrying #42 in my jersey for quite a while. I'm a big big fan of whom the history will remember as the second best safety ever... Next to Sean Taylor I hope :)

[golongdude]

You gotta stand by Ade now. There is no other choice and he is a Redskin. It's do-or-die time...

[Paintedbird]

That may have been the sickest/best thing I've ever seen from a professional football player. That's taking having heart to a new level. Lavar will be ready to go. He hates the Cowboys vehemently and would love to pull an Aikman on Bledsoe.

That you want Arrington to pull an Aikman on Bledsoe is disgusting. There are better targets for Arrington to go for.

What I'd really love to see is Jimoh take out Parsells.

[Paintedbird]

Jimoh, for instance, could take out fat boy on a pass into the flat. Ironically.

[helimech24]

What I'd really love to see is Jimoh take out Parsells.

It would take a MAC truck to take Parcells out, I was thinking the Washington or Arrington model. If you want a little MAC, ST would be good for that.

[Syllable]

Rogers, if he wants the fans to love him, and become a true redskin then he will try and play through the Pain. Fans repect Courage, and the Rookie could prove himself to be a lifelong redskins in one game.

Carlos, don't let us down...
Rookies can also force themselves on the field and end up with lingering injuries because they didnt rest one game. If walt and springs plays i dont expect carlos to or hold any grudge against him not playing. Your not a true redskin fan if you wish your players to go out while injured and try to do something stupid that would injure themselves $COUGH# lavar and his knee injury that started the whole mess at the start of the year.

Remember back in the preseason game when rufus got burned like god knows how many times to Wright and whoever he was passing too. Thats why he isnt here anymore.

You can't really think that way IMO. Everyone on the team is injured some way. Moss is injured with a hamstring, I am sure Portis has something wrong with him. Look down the o-line, they are all injured. Anyways, Rogers hasn't practiced all week, and he is just now getting movement in his shoulder. If he can play, he should play. If not, then sit him. I don't think GW will play him if it will risk his long term play or he can't handle the receivers. But I also think it will be the decision of GW because Rogers is going to want to play, who wouldn't in a Skins uni?

I would love to see Arrington pull an Aikman on Bledsoe. All in favor say aye.

[helimech24]

aye

[redskinz#1fan]

AYE!!

I believe that Lavar & Rogers will play come game time. I have played sports all of my life and PLAYERS don't miss important games like this. A couple of Needles with some super pain killer and everything will be ok. These guys will not miss this game!

[SpicyMcHaggis]

[X-Factor13]

I'd be willing to bet that barring Arrington literally having his leg cut off, he'll be out there this week giving the cowboys hell.




that seems to be a good assesment. The same goes for rogers i believe

[smoak]

I honestly hate seeing the phrase "third-year cornerback Ade Jimoh would likely see increased playing time."

Argh.


IMHO, it is time to stand up and get behind any and every member of this team. In '82, we had to turned to a little pint sized WR wearing the number 89 and see how that worked!

I want Arrington and Rogers to play, but I trust Jimoh and Holdman. We are a team and together we can not lose.

AMEN!!! I hope that Jimoh has the game of his life tomorrow! I hope ea. and every Redskin player on the field has the game of their lives tomorrow.

He had a bid stick on a key play in the Arizona game baby! All I know is that it is time for Skins fans to be an active and loud participant in the games and forces the visiting teams to make mistakes. No more of this sitting on our hands BS!

[OCSKINSFAN]

I want Arrington and Rogers to play, but only if they will help the team by doing so, e.g., Arrington + injury > Holdman. I also don't want them to play if they risk serious injury to do so. I want them to be able to play against the Giants and Eagles (and hopefully in the playoffs, not to mention in the future).

Absolutely, gotta to get up for this one. The game of the year, last 7 year, last 13 years. Gotta bring the mojo baby. Slow clap starts here.

[BurgundyNGold]

So what's the deal? Are Arrington and Rogers going to play? If Rogers has a torn bicep, I can see how he would be questionable, but if LaVar doesn't play, he'll be on the top of my S list, on the bottom of my S list and every little S in between.

[Redskinfan28]

Lavar needs to play with the injury - if he can jog he should play.

[BurgundyNGold]

This is Dallass. Dallass! Plus, if we lose we go home. No playoffs. As far as I'm concerned, if he can BREATHE he should play.

[smoak]

And continues here! Honestly, it is time to unleash the hounds! As fans, we can absolutely punish the visiting team with volume that will disrupt audibles, snap counts, and definitely make those BACK UP offensive tackles play more of a passive game to avoid false starts.

[IHATEDALLAS'82'87'91]

They will play. 92,000 fans screeming for them to BEAT DallASS. THis is going to be the loudest stadium Carlos has ever been in. I bet they never had these kind of crowds when he was ay Auburn. LaVar will play. Come on, this is DallASS week.:dalassuk:

wonder how this will compare to his days at happy valley...i sure hope we can blow past what he played under during college. those kids go NUTS.

[IowaSkinsFan]

At this point in the season and considering what's at stake, there is nothing for them to save themselves for....there is no tomorrow frankly.

There are football players and get paid pretty well to do it....it is now time to earn those checks and lay a vicious smackdown on Dallass.

Time for some clichés:All or nothing, leave everything on the field, this is do or die time, WIN OR GO HOME.

This is pretty much a playoff game that is stuck in at the end of the season.

LOL, I'm still going here. Bring the Pain.

[Biggie]

Dmitri Patterson just got signed. I guess Carlos is out, which is ok by me since the Post said he couldn't even extend his arm. We'll need him against the Gnats.

It isn't the best thing to happen, but it is understandable. We will find out how badly it hurts us at game time. I hope he is this weeks P2.

I hope he recovers for next week.He's been a really crucial player on this defense.
