Would you guys like to see this guy in a Dolphins uniform? Let's face it, he's in the dog house in Washington, and he has all of the ability to be a all-pro every year. A different team and new atmosphere might change his attitude.
 
I wouldnt mind it. He's a freak. I followed him in college and he was just a monster. Givin some disapline, I think he could make that step up from where he's at now.
 
Remember, there is always that one team that gives a player like him a massive contract that no smart team would match. If the price is right, I bet you this guy is on the radar. He's not as bad as the skins are making it seems. Two years ago, he was one of the best in football.
 
I don't think Nick is going to be one for freelancing to a much greater extent than Gregg Williams is. It just doesn't seem to be a part of his personality. I wouldn't expect to see him here any more than I'd expect to see him with the Patriots.

I think LaVar will end up on a team that needs defensive talent so badly that they'll let him do what he wants. I'm thinking that means somewhere like St. Louis, Seattle, or Kansas City.
 
I've been saying he's overrated for about 5 years now. He's not that great. For every good play he makes, he makes a bonehead play. Whether it be a personal foul penalty or a blown assignment. He doesn't like following directions. He just roams around and does his own thing. That's what got him benched in the first place. He's one hell of an athlete, he just thinks he's better than everybody else, like he's still in high school, and his talent just reigns supreme. Unless his mental game really improves, I would definitely not want him in Miami.
 
There is almost no chance of this happening, but Imagine if we could get Arrington AND Peterson? That would just be sick. I like Peterson's ability more, myself. So I'm hoping we go after him. Especially since Saban used him a lot of different ways at Michigan State.

Our chances of getting Arrington or Peterson are 0%. If I'm not mistaken both players have the Poston's as their agents. If you don't know who the Poston's are, they're salary cap killers.
 
i would love to have him here...but the only reason he isn't starting down in Washington is because they dont want him freelancing or somecrap...i think thats stupid

Good article on the situation. Lets see, Gibbs doesnt want him, Gregg Williams doesnt want him, Joe Bugel doesnt want him, Marvin Lewis couldnt coach him, some explain why we should pick this guy up? Hes going to go play for a loser team that wants to market his name, like Arizona, no good coach wants this guy.

Are you suggesting Dennis Green isn't a good coach?

Hes a decent coach, not great. AZ is a loser team and loser franchise, they have trouble selling tickets, a guy like Arrington could probaly sign there. I used to think Green was a good coach, but he is lost in AZ that team is absolutely terrible.
 
LaVar drove Marvin Lewis nuts the same way he is driving Greg Williams nuts. The guy doesn't play well in a scheme. He's great when told to go out and do whatever he feels, but not so good when told to cover a zone or play a man. Saban has preached scheme over everything, so it's just not a good fit. Let it go.

He was amazing at penn state...no doubt. Then again so was Courtney Brown :lol: Anyway he really hasnt lived up to his potential and i think an Aging Junior Seau is a better choice.
 
This guy is a great talent, but he is not a Saban type player....I just can't see him and Saban getting along.
