LVE continues to be weak link

Nick Martin had has way with wolf boy (as well as other blockers) Couple first quarter plays but after that nothing and a day late and a dollar short on most running plays. We will be destroyed by rams and philly on the ground game. Our stellar defense really covers for an incredibly ineffective LVE (and Barr to be honest). But we will be exposed the next two games unfortunately. Washington did expose us with the run on a number of plays. Offensive coordinators on good teams with run games will fully expose our weak link. That is why I suggested more safely play and Wilson and Bland really shined. I just don't see the point of LVE taking up a spot on the 11.
The Boys need to release LVE and sign Adam Sandler!

Not next year this year. We will not win our division and may not eve get into playoffs if this is all we have. There is free agency, trades, and within our own ranks players that could be an exponential upgrade even if it is another safety. We have an increadable D but only as good as the weakest link. The rams and philly will fully expose what I am talking about. We are going down with LVE.

wanna bet? Name the terms . Put up or shut up

The LVE abuse this year is silly. Maybe, just maybe he is playing his assignment and allowing our most impressive player to run free and freelance on occasion.

Given all the light boxes we have been repeatedly showing, the disappearance of big plays against us, excellent 3rd drive efficiency, elite points per drive, the bevy of negative plays, and the turnovers then no, it is not a problem.

But hey if you want to act like the defense is something other teams do not fear because of people running the ball against us not leading to points then go right ahead.

I don't want to counter prevailing thought. All is well, then.

Convinced you have no idea what you are talking about. You know the assignments and role of each player every play? Very freaking doubtful.

There were some good FA linebackers we could have had but Capboy was tight with his money. Now we're stuck slow and plodding LVE.
