Lavar Arrington?
I heard on news this morning, he has had talks with Steve Bischotti, and the Ravens are his #1 team that he wants to play for this year. Personally I say if we can get him cheap for a year so he can prove he can stay healthy.....GO FOR IT!
Your thoughts?

im completely in agreement. if healthy and cheap, he could be a hell of a raven and is worth the low risk.

He is done, but I guess it's worth the risk if it's under 2 mil.

Lavar Arrington is finished. He was finished the year he left Washington. There's no need to waste money on him. I was looking up his stats the other day and can't believe how medicore they are.

I don't want him unless he's dirt cheap. He was one of the most overrated players during him time in Washington and he's gotten worse. But again, if he's too good to pass up, then go for it. He could potentially be a good player in Rex Ryan's scheme.

The question is though, would he follow the scheme? He's had problems in the past with going out of the scheme and trying to do his own thing. If he would have played in the defensive scheme given to him, he would have been a very good football player.

i agree that he has been overhyped and he is overrated, but i can only imagine wat our scheme will do to him.. i mean, our scheme seems to make stars out of everyone (duane starks, ed hartwell to name a few)... so why cant lavar be one of them?

Umm Duane Starks was a top 10 pick by the Ravens out of Miami so he wasn't exactly a dud coming out of college.

Very true...but once Starks left he was really exposed and it showed that he was obviously helped by the players around him.
And Troj2man brought up a really nice point about the scheme. There's no doubt that our scheme can turn average players into good ones, but you have to be able to understand it and understand your responsibilities. Lavar really had trouble doing that in Washington with Gregg Williams, which is one of the reasons why he went downhill so fast.

Starks wasn't really exposed as much as he couldn't stay healthy once he left Baltimore much as most above average players who play for us have happen when they leave. And exactly what average player has come to our defense and become an above average player?

well, we havnt needed to bring many people in b/c we develop our draft picks so well....
but i guess its more, that if a player leaves the ravens system, they dont do that well compared to them coming here and playing well

The only reason I wanted Lavar in Green Bay is because he likes reading the plays and playing "free" he a cover guy and with Suggs doing the pass rushing and Lavar back there covering you can have a soild D.

lavar is such a gifted athlete, and i'd literaly crap myself if i had to go play the Ravens D with Lavar HEALTHY. i loved the guy in new york, but he already has two like broken knees, and that tear of his achillies vs Dallas just made it that much harder for him to come back. i highly doubt he'll play again

lol yeah Arrington would be the missing piece. Ngata, Suggs, Scott, Lewis, Reed, McAlister etc. weren't enough :D
