Impact of LVE

[CWR]

Was he the same one that kept calling him Vandertrash and a storm
Was coming?

Lol yes a storm was coming every week. I remember letting him know what a moron he was, but he was undeterred.

- The Bucs will not challenge you when it comes to running the ball ... among dead last in NFL rushing yardage.
That makes easier (much easier) to defend.

- The Bucs do not employ creative Misdirections, RPOs and traps as with the remaining two NFC teams do.

- The Bucs do not present the matchups in TEs or even backs vs coverage the other two remaining NFC teams do.

- Frankly the Bucs look like a fairly simple offensive attack - even with Brady.

- LVE"s biggest strength comes his ability to cover one on one and place in space.
- The improvement at LB upon his return is more that he is a lot more steadier than the other starter .and depth guys we have.

- He's more experienced and seasoned than the rookie Clark. .and he's much faster than the ole so slow vet Anthony Barr.
- and we dare not mentioned Gifford and the other ex-LSU guy, that never gets game activated and looks like FS than a LB

If you want a test for how good some fans think LVE is ... watch him vs Niners and Eagles.
Two teams that specialize in running the ball, trapping and Misdirection plays - that tend to drive us in up the wall fits.

Yet they had the 5th rated passing offense. I agree they have real issues, but I won't minimize stopping Brady, at his house, in the playoffs.

I dont disagree this week will be a good test for how far he's come.

when Brady is passing 50- 60 times per game,..with a dead last run game, you would expect high yards passing total.

It wasn't you....but, now that you mention it! Lol

If anything stood out to me last night, it was the impact that LVE has on this defense. When he went out to injury a few weeks ago, he was the team's leading tackler (I believe?). The unhappy result was a precipitous decline in what had been among the stoutest defenses in the League. First game back, he steps in to lead the team with 9 tackles, 5 solo tackles and 2 defended passes.

The sports shows are all raving about the Cowboys' offense this morning. But the defense was equally impressive, and I'd argue that a big reason for that was the re-insertion of one of its most important pieces.

LVE is going to have to elevate his game to another level if the Boys are to take down the 9ers. They need to see the rookie who was hunting non-stop his rookie season!
