Jaylon - 10 tackles, LVE - 7 tackles, and Lee - 5 tackles

I’ll say this... when LVE tackles someone, they stay tackled.

You're in good hands with Vander Esch.

LVE has a long, long ways to go but you can really see the physical skills. He is still pretty raw as a rookie from a small school and he still had 7 tackles in basically one quarter of play.

Small school that's been ranked in the top 20 for a decade

This feels like deja vu from last year.

Jaylon is the middle linebacker. The middle linebacker (whoever it is) will lead this defense in tackles. Doesn't really speak much to the quality of his play.

He's the only one that could tackle Barclay on initial contact actually. He's a big dude.

I don't disagree, but he didn't miss any tackles there was no yards after contact on the tackles that I witnessed. Something that Frazier in Heath cannot lay claims to.

I noticed that too. The worst thing about the defense was the missed tackles. But LVE did a great job with his. He is raw, yes, bu the talent is there for sure.

 

[beware_d-ware]

The play I loved was when an OL blocked him and he still bounced off enough in the direction of the ball carrier to bring him down. Most LBs go straight to the ground on that play. I don't want him starting any time soon, but he is a great backup that will be a terrific starter next year.

Especially given the book on him was "couldn't get off blocks" at Boise State.

Jaylon did indeed impress. He's coming around for sure!

LVE has a long, long ways to go but you can really see the physical skills. He is still pretty raw as a rookie from a small school and he still had 7 tackles in basically one quarter of play.

In one quarter he has already established himself as better than Bobby Carpenter.

All Cowboys fans should like those numbers. It can indicate that Lee isn't the only good defender on our defense.

 

[AKATheRake]

Are you guys kidding me about Sean Lee?

Put it this way, when the Giants scored that TD on that busted play Sean Lee was not on the field.

Put that into perspective. When Sean Lee plays we win football games. When he doesn't we lose.

You could tell from the look on Eli's face he knew he was going to get blasted.

The BEST!

Tank Lawrence is the only great defender on our defense. Leighton, Smith, Jones and Taco are starting to show flashes.

 

[AKATheRake]

Believe me, the Giants stayed away from Sean Lee.

 

[Doomsday]

Lee has had a hamstring issue apparently.

Just saw on Twitter that he said he was cramping and it had nothing to do with his hamstring.

Yeah, but that's probably true for Chris Covington as well.

 

[TheHerd]

trucked him LEGALLY

Which is no small feat in today's NFL.

Lee isn't the guy I want covering a pass 30 yards downfield anyway.

would have happily taken the 15 yarder

Agreed. Plus Lee was injured tonight, and still played good football .

 

[buybuydandavis]

I believe it.

He looks aged this year.

He’s never showed any signs physically of slipping up but this year he just doesn’t quite look like Sean Lee.

I hope it’s a hamstring he will recover from.

I wonder if the team had seen the drop off and that's why they went for LVE.
