Do you think LVE gets back on track?

[Mobinvans]

Let's be honest here, LVE has not having s good year before he got hurt

He had a really good rookie year than crash...you guys think he gets back to his rookie form?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes. We know what a dumpster fire the coaching was on that side of the ball this year. McCarthy and Nolan will get them playing fundamental football again and we will see a successful return of the Wolfhunter!

 

[Hennessy_King]

No I think his neck injury is a bigger deal than they are letting on

 

[ksadler1]

No, l'm hoping McCarthy is very proactive in bringing some more LBs in here, whether it be in FA or the draft. I don't see LVE playing football much longer, if at all. Neck injuries are nothing to fool around with...

I think it’s something that’s always going to be a concern.

I could see him trying to dig it out for 2-3 seasons before calling it quits.

 

[Hardline]

Hopefully it was just a sophomore slump

Isn't this the same condition that caused Irvin to call it quits?

I believe it is.

 

[Cowfan75]

I think we certainly need to move forward assuming he can't get back on track. If he does, great.

 

[Risen Star]

Nope. Damaged goods.

 

[ItzKelz]

LVE will be better because Kris Richard will not be coaching him.

 

[Bowdown27]

I certainly hope so

 

[hornitosmonster]

I hope so

I thought it was odd that during a game someone said it went back to college then he said it didn't. After that he needed surgery and I believe another report came up saying it did go back to college and was known during the draft.

 

[Mobinvans]

I sure hope so, his rookie season he was a beast

 

[Bullflop]

From what I've been able to gather, according to several reports, he had been born with it.

With that being the case, it appears it would have been corrected by now if it was possible.

 

[erod]

Hope so, but I fear he's one stinger away from retirement.

Worst injury a linebacker can have.

 

[erod]

Isn't this the same condition that caused Irvin to call it quits?

Sort of, yes.

It's the reason some teams took him off their draft boards entirely.

 

[InTheZone]

if LVE and Smith can't look like top 15 Linebackers this year it's time to move on from them.

 

[Kolemmitt]

I'm not the doctor that performed the surgery, who I am sure is among the best in the world and used techniques that have advanced far beyond when Irvin retired.But, I am hopeful.

If the physical side holds up, I think he will go back to dominant. Better staff, with one clear leader will help and getting some real beef at DT playing a lot more 2-gap will also help.
