Sad to See Him Go

I loved the Lavar Arrington era in Washington and I am sad to see him go. I am devastated that he will be on the New York Giants. Arrington never reached his full potential with the Redskins in part because of stubborn defensive coordinators who wanted him to tailor his abilities to fit the team system. His game was not to cover the tight end and tackle him after a five yard gain. He needed to blitz the passer, destroy the ball carrier and create turnovers. The deal with the Giants looks like 7 years for $49 million but the incentives are tough and he surely won't serve the entire deal at these terms.
