LVE doesn't have injuries. HE stunk even when healthy. THat's the only reason people are even holding out hope for Jaylon. The whole linebacker group was bad. So is it that they are all bad or were they all poorly coached?
I agree his play was average at best but I'm not sure he was ever totally healthy last year.

Cowboys' Leighton Vander Esch: Recovered from ankle injury
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Vander Esch no longer has an injury designation, David Helman of the team's official site reports.
After spending a handful of games in 2020 on the sidelines due to various injuries, Vander Esch is good to go for the upcoming year. In his 10 matchups during last season, the linebacker recorded 60 tackles (32 solo), one sack and one forced fumble. When healthy, Vander Esch flashed promise, posting a career high in tackles in 2019 (140) and seven pass breakups through 16 games.

Cowboys' Leighton Vander Esch: Battles through injuries again
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Vander Esch recorded 60 tackles (32 solo) while adding a sack and a forced fumble over 10 games in 2020.
The linebacker once again couldn't stay healthy, suffering a broken collarbone in Week 1 and then missing the final two games of the year with an ankle injury, but Vander Esch also wasn't as productive when he was on the field, and he only managed two games with double-digit tackles as his snap count was often limited. The Cowboys are bringing in a new defensive coordinator in Dan Quinn, which should help the unit's performance as a whole, but if LVE can't avoid landing on IR a couple times a year, a better scheme won't be enough for him to regain his 2018 form
