Nick Martin had has way with wolf boy (as well as other blockers) Couple first quarter plays but after that nothing and a day late and a dollar short on most running plays. We will be destroyed by rams and philly on the ground game. Our stellar defense really covers for an incredibly ineffective LVE (and Barr to be honest). But we will be exposed the next two games unfortunately. Washington did expose us with the run on a number of plays. Offensive coordinators on good teams with run games will fully expose our weak link. That is why I suggested more safely play and Wilson and Bland really shined. I just don't see the point of LVE taking up a spot on the 11.

Lol. Ok. It was his fault about all the outside runs. We were getting killed on the edge today. Is there only 1 LB. LVE may have been a tick late on a few plays. But let’s see the film first.

Nope. LVE is actually one of the best LB in the NFL in coverage. He gets exposed against the run. But, not everyone on the defense has to be a pro bowler nor could the team pay for it. The middle of the defense has had a problem against the run for years.

LVE is a nice inexpensive piece on defense. How can you argue anyone got "owned" today? Our defense dominated the game.

Then why may I ask, why when I post such things, so much hate on here and others extolling LVE’s virtues? Not getting it. Nothing personal, just horrendous LB play.

If you're actually interested in knowing why you get the backlash...

It's because you're completely myopic. It's all you see...all you say. It's SPAM level of hate towards LVE. Every comment is about how much he sucks. Every comment is about replacing him. And, like when I asked you to back up your statements, you either can't or don't.

Plenty of people probably agree with the sentiment, but you're just wearing people out with the constant onslaught of your hate towards a single player.

Just watching philly and Miles Sanders decimating Jacksonville with no linebackers. They will do the same to us. Mark my words. And wait for LA with crossing routes and run game that will shred our middle. Coming to a store near you.

The same why there were folks that were in denial about Jaylon Smith right until the bitter end, you're seeing the same fringe of remaining believers with LVE.

There are no weak links on the defense.

That's why they'll finish in the top 3 points allowed as a unit, in my prediction .

You must be blind if you think 5.3 ypc isnt a weakness. If ever fall behind in a game its going to be tough to come back with them being able to run all over us. Like fournette did in week 1

We might have the worst LBs in the NFL against the run and that includes everyones favorite Micah Parsons. Barr, Micah, and LVE, are all grading out poorly against the run. LVE should be playing where Anthony Barr is playing. He is not a MLB, but I think they stuck him in the middle b/c there wasn't anyone else and he's really good in coverage.

He’s starting to remind me of Jaylon. He’s always around at the end of the play and involved in some tackles down the field but almost no impact plays near the line of scrimmage.

Best in coverage? Why is he out on third downs. Just wondering about that. Any pics, break ups, etc? No nothing. He is not good in coverage.

I believe VDE had the first four tackles today....

He started out well but then not so well. He is pushed all over the field and usually tackles are after after the first down marker. Tackle stats do not tell the whole picture. If someone is tackled for a loss 4 times vs. being tackled beyond the first down marker is a qualitative difference. He is usually at the back end of every play. Ask Nick Martin. He even tackled Parsons tackling the runner. It does not get any better than that.
