I still can't believe we are deciding to go with 2 real linebackers. 3 if you could Micah. He must be playing more linebacker at least on early/run downs?
We have more DE's than we have total linebackers lol. None are as good as Micah at DE of course.

If the only thing you judge a DE by is pass rush then Micah is the Cowboys best. He's a liability at DE in run defense, and Arizona exploited it.

Over 200 of Arizona's rushing yards were outside the tackles, and they ran at Micah and Williams a lot more than they ran at Tank. That wasn't by accident. It was by design.

Major point: LVE is the leader in the LB, and by letting him get away with his passive style of LB play has and will trickle down to the younger LBs. I'm amazed at how DQ allows this guy to stick around..something isn't right. It's bad and some ppl here defend that Jaylon Smith brand of ball he plays. DQ has to save Clark before it's too late.

A lot good stuff in the video by Akoye n Sky, they made several points about the personnel that have me wondering what's going on too.

I've noticed that quite a few {Cowboys content creators} on you tube are very quick to pounce on LVE whenever he has a bad game, but when he was playing well the first two games, I heard nothing about it. Let's face it, last week the ENTIRE DEFENSE STUNK not just LVE. If DQ had a better option at that position, then LVE would be riding the pines..

Bellichick sat back and watched the tape from last week and his eyes fell outta his head watching #55 get spun around like a NYC subway turnstile.

There was LVE getting smoked in the middle of the field for the world to see.

Numerous other plays saw LVE pushed back like he was on roller skates.

BB will use him all day, he’s gonna flash TE’s in front of him -RB circle routes - getting LVE in isolation mode etc .

Big day for LVE’s career - imo I’m betting in his heart he’s realizing retirement is knocking at the door.

Im honestly not sure if he’ll be the starter come week 8-9.

That bad

Lve is not the same player he was before injury.
