Jaylon - 10 tackles, LVE - 7 tackles, and Lee - 5 tackles

What recent NFL have you been watching?

Lawrence got flagged for being pushed into Eli below the knee.

They protect the NFL Darlings at every turn.

He blasted Eli enough to have happy feet.......like his brother, the self sacker.

A QB in the pocket is WAY different that one running in the middle of the field. You dont get chances like that very often. Should have driven his full weight onto Eli and pummeled him into the turf. There is no flag the refs could legitimately have thrown.

 

[Verdict]

Wilson was making plays also.

He did tonight. He played poorly in game 1.

 

[Verdict]

I love Lee but I think this is his last season as a Cowboys player. Glad we drafted Vander Esch.

It's getting close.

I imagine it won't be many more games before LVE takes Wilson's starting spot. He likely would have been the starter if he hadn't missed most of camp. He was who I'd hoped for in the 1st rnd since the combine. Saw him at the draft in person...dude is huge

Why did Jaylon let up on the hit though?

To extend Eli's shelf life as a QB. Eli is the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Thumps are nice, but I'm happy with a tackler who will bring guys down abruptly instead of missing or going for a ride.

Yep. LVE doesn't have that hitter mentality, but when you're 6'4" 260, you don't need to be a hitter. Just wrap up and let physics do the work for you.

Jaylon though - Jaylon's a freaking hitter.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Jaylon played lights out tonight .

 

[keysersoze]

i thought LVE tackled like a beast. Barkley did not get away from him that I saw whenever LVE had to tackle him. He actually roughed Barkley up a couple times I thought. Was a good sign..

I think you’re putting a little too much on that. I don’t see anything rough about LVE’s tackling. He’s a fundamental tackler. Not powerful tho.

 

[Cowpolk]

Oh, someone please find a clip of the hit Jaylon put on Eli tonight.

LOVED IT!!!

You could tell from the look on Eli's face he knew he was going to get blasted.

He is lucky Jaylon cut him some slack he could have cleaned his clock on that play

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I sense a balanced wall at LB.

 

[Zekeats]

Jaylon did indeed impress. He's coming around for sure!

Yes I liked the play he ran saquan out of bounds and even got away with a late hit but his athleticism got him to the point and he finished the play

 

[Zekeats]

The play I loved was when an OL blocked him and he still bounced off enough in the direction of the ball carrier to bring him down. Most LBs go straight to the ground on that play. I don't want him starting any time soon, but he is a great backup that will be a terrific starter next year.

Lve?

 

[Kaiser]

Lve?

Yes, LVE.

 

[Cowpolk]

Yes, LVE.

LVE made several nice plays

 

[lostar2009]

I wonder if these tackles was earn from chasing or stops.

 

[OmerV]

Why did Jaylon let up on the hit though?

Why get overzealous and risk a penalty?

 

[John813]

As long as a lb doesn't get dragged for yards I'll take a wrap up tackler 9 out of 10 times. Especially when dealing with players who are dangerous in the open field.

 

[bayeslife]

LVE has a long, long ways to go but you can really see the physical skills. He is still pretty raw as a rookie from a small school and he still had 7 tackles in basically one quarter of play.

“Long, long” as in one season sure

Eli's grandkids are gonna have bruises from that hit..... it was brutal
