I watched his interview today. He is pissed about his buddy getting cut and the “classless” fans picking on him. At one point it looked like he actually might cry.

I think he’s a nice, home-schooled kid. But this is a man’s game. I just don’t see the fire, toughness, grit, and strength to play one of the most physically demanding positions in football.

My guess is he will move on after this season. Probably go join his BFF up in Green Bay

He looks slow to me, I feel he needs to play closer to the line and not be involved in pass coverage..he can still be very good, not sure if this system fits his skill set.

If you have to play close to the line as an lb, you aren't good enough

Can he turn things around for himself? He's been on a downward spiral since his rookie season. He's only 24 years old and I guess is finally healthy. What has been his problem besides injuries? To me he seems a little timid out there and it's taking him too long to react. He was shooting gaps a lot quicker as a rookie and looked much faster side line to side line. Has he lost his speed and quickness? Is there any hope for this guy still?

Zekeats--- i think he sees writing on the wall especially they let Jaylon go....his body language both playing and not playing he is no longer the wolf-hunter?

I personally am ready to see LVE go after watching this interview about Jaylon. His sense of entitlement is sickening. Hes definitely the weak link on defense now and you can see on his face. You having to move to different cities to live in a different mansion is the least of our worries buddy.. Wow this combined with his talk with Parsons about not having to make all the plays.

How about focus on making this defense a contender?

It really doesn't matter how well he plays down the stretch...barring him playing at an all pro level, we just won't be in a position to bring him back

Hate to say it but this is probably true......said he was going to have to force us to wanna keep him with a near ALL-PRO year. It's still early but doesn't look like that's going to happen so far...

He’ll never be the player we thought he was going to be after his rookie year but he’s been more than serviceable this season so far at least in my opinion. It wasn’t that long ago when he and Jaylon were considered the two best young linebackers in the league. Things can certainly change quick.

Your such a homer. He hasn't been playing well at all. Average at best.

Learn how to spell. It's you're, not "your". LOL

Are you really stupid enough to jump into an argument over a matter of opinion? Are you drinking or on drugs?

No. He look hesitant at times. That’s probably why he looks slow. Go watch his 2018 tapes vs now. It’s night and day. I can’t blame him considering the type of injury he has had.

I expect LVE to have his best game of this young season, now that
he doesn't have to babysit Jaylon on the field.

This is silly and strange.

LVE is not looking good this year and there really aren't any excuses at this point.

The organization saw Neal and LVE development this year as a good reason
to release Jaylon now, according to Jane Slater.

You can apologize on Sunday.

LVE is probably one of the better humans on the team and I root hard for that. But I just don't see it.

From the perspective of me, a great guy and sturgeon of the game, LVE discovered that the NFL was FAST and getting faster. Give him speed and quickness and he is a pro bowler.:rolleyes:

Yet ... I dunno, mate, but it would be grand, just grand if Green Bay snapped him up for a 4th round pick.

That neck injury can cause any LB to lose a step or two on the field. Another major hit and trauma to his neck could lead to permanent paralysis from the neck down. Maybe that's why LVE is playing slower and not as quick or aggressive as his rookie year?

I hope he turns it around since this is a contract year for him. If he's not offered a new contract, he will become a unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. I'm sure seeing Jaylon get suddenly cut yesterday certainly didn't help. Hope LVE is able to stay healthy and play well enough to remain on the team.
