The problem is that just a short time ago the same fans who maintain that Jason and LVE both suck now were then asking if we have the best young LB corps in the NFL. LVE and Jaylon had just had a fantastic year and both went to the Pro Bowl. Now, while the pro bowl doesn’t always highlight the star players and sometimes guys get in as alternates, they didn’t go as players who suck, but as players who were shining on a still below average defense.
So....did they “suck” this year because they can’t play, or did they suck because
So....did they “suck” this year because they can’t play, or did they suck because
- They played behind a bunch of scrubs at DT
- They played in a new defensive scheme that for most of the year was noted by experts as having bad run fits, no gap control
- T.hey played in a scheme where everyone on the team was confused and blowing assignments at every level most of the year
- They both played at new positions that didn’t utilize either’s strengths. LVE is not a MLB....he shined as WLB. Jaylon is not a WLB.....he was at his best on the strong side with Lee in the middle, and he was decent at MLB when he just read the block and fired into a gap to make a play.
