He had a great game. He was great in the playoffs last year too. He’s okay.
Like i said Jekyll and Hyde which indicates some good play and some very bad play. I watch every play and 200 rushing yards is not good D and will kill us down the road like it did against the Rams a few years ago and San Fran. Remember will lost to San Fran if you were watching.

LVE is an up n down player...one minute he makes a good play then the next he's playing terrible. Nobody's hating dude is inconsistent and I can see how it's frustrating for some.
Bingo, thank your for your objectivity.

When I see an opinion I disagree with, I'm going to express my opinion. That's what this place is all about. What I don't do is start at least one thread every week, bashing a player who doesn't deserve to be bashed, hoping a week will come along where I can say, "See? I told you so!"
Let’s wait until that’s week arrives. I am waiting too. It wont. A leopard cannot change its spots. I wish they could, but fanciful thinking. He cannot get off blocks, too slow, and very poor decision making and indecisiveness. Parsons beats him from rather away when running across the field to every play. Quite embarrassing.

Yeah, Parsons beats everyone. I guess everyone else on the team sucks.

When you compare a player to Parsons, in an effort to make that person look slow, comparing all the other players to him isn't a non sequitur, it's legitimate debate.
Nobody was arguing everyone sucks because LVE does. So non sequitur. But only as strong as weakest link and great linebacking play is essential for championships. We dont have it unfortunately.

You're using the argument that LVE sucks because Parsons beat him. Parsons beats everyone, ergo you think everyone else sucks. You can't just throw the phrase "non sequitur" into your post to invalidate someone's point.

No my argument is LVE sucks because he sucks. It is self evident. Just a particular case in point among many. A litany in fact. Your bogus argument is a straw man.

And all other players on the D team are actually quite fast for their position, not relative to Parsons.

Who are you trying to convince, me or you? I know what your argument is, and comparing LVE to Parsons is the strawman.

I base my observations on each game, so if it sounds like a broken record, that is because of broken linebacker play. No it probably will not change. But I call a spade a spade. We are not getting by the best in the NFC or AFC with broken records.

How many weeks straight has the storm not come? If you say it every week eventually, you'll be right, Capt obvious.

Wow, LVE makes a stop and causes a turnover…..bad news, he is Dr. Jekyll and again looked mostly terrible in stoping the run. Against good defensive teams with a run game (Philly, San Fran, et all) we will be decimated. Like I have said the storm is coming and against more complete teams with a running game, we are toast.

LVE is one of the most frustrating Cowboys to watch. He will make a great play slicing through the noise to make a TFL. But the next 3 plays he will miss a tackle, shoot the wrong gap or wait for a blocker to come take him out of the play.

He is fine if he can just go forward and hit a hole. Changing directions, having to diagnose & work thru traffic not so much. Does anyone else notice that he seems to jump when a runner is coming into his body rather than plant his feet, sink & meet the runner? He always seems to get driven back.

Good running and Good defensive teams are coming and have come (Tampa game one and Philly). We can weather the storm on high ground (poor defense, good running). We will not be going to any Super Bowl, not winning the division, and will be eviscerated by good D and good running teams. The storm is coming. Get my drift…..Hardee har har…..drift wood!!!!

A linebacker that cannot hit the hole is like a boat without a rudder…..aimless get my drift?

I keep reading that “LVE is better than a lot of linebackers in the league.”

Who?

Name them?
