Twitter: Jerry praises LB Leighton Vander Esch

[nyc-cowboy]

Corners rarely come back from that dreaded Achilles injury, remember Kevin Smith. For linebacker, cannot see them heading into a draft without a veteran starter next to Clark. They will either resign Lve or someone similar, at least as a stop gap.

Yes forgot Brown's injury was an Achilles - shame, he actually had a nice rookie year, I remember him holding his own against AB when we played Pitt that year, thought he'd have a better career.

What do you think of Clark?

I know he's got the speed and a lot of people are high on him and he is coming back from a major injury but I still see him as tentative.

Now obviously coming back from an injury and being a rookie will do that, I would just like to see a bit more.

Clark just needs reps, remember he missed all of camp. Having a vet next to him really helps his development.

Oh, I think we are.

Good for Jerry to talk up LVE, though. Get a better comp pick that way. And it's *true*.

LVE has been good since the end of last year. He's not *everything* you want in a LB, but few LBers are.

PFF has him 18th/78. Top quartile. That's a good player.

Never understood all the LVE hate.

the guy is a JAG at best and is one bad tackle (w/ the neck) away from ending his career
let's sign him to $50M!!!

LV E is not a Jag

Never understood all the LVE hate.

I understood it a little a couple of years ago, but he's been solid enough for a while now.

He maybe building up his value to a point above what we'd pay ... resulting in a higher draft pick compensation to us if he signs with another team.

I don’t think Jerry thinks that far ahead….or ahead at all…

Get ready for a new contract LVE. Is Jerry drinking?

Jerry already gave him a contract and was panned for doing so. This is him patting himself on the back.
